Do you have the s2 reo? or what... The s2 front bar will go on if you have the reo to suit, if you've only got s1 reo you may to modify it to fit. The 4 screw holes in the guards line up those of s2 bar the rest just sits flush with no connection between bar and body.

have you got series 2 headlight?? may not look right if they are series 1 type

[_Sawyer_]

well its on the car. other than the 5mm overhang from the headlights it looks great. and lines up real well.

it actualy looks kinda tuff with the headlights buldging over because the bar hugs up nicely under neath it n looks almost like its meant to be there. ill put up pics if anyone is interested. cheers

[Hotwire]

I'd be interested in seeing pics, as I was thinking of trying the same for my car.

Hey here is my series 1 with series 2 or 3 bumper. Not sure exactly. I think i got a series 2 GTR factory bumper.

that actually looks like a series 2 40th anniversary bar which is what I'm looking for. Here's a pic below of the one I've seen

Please let me know where you bought that bar as I'm wanting to buy one as well

Thanks

Sorry dude when i brought the car it already had that front bumper attached. I have no idea where you can get the same bumper. You might be able to find a fibreglass copy of it somewhere. Mine is the factory original.

When i saw my car at the dealer with that bumper i thought it looked very good and seemed to make it stand out a bit more from the majority of skylines out there. I feel that it looks a lot nicer on the series 1.

Hope ya get find somewhere to buy one. I have not found any sites or places that sell that bumper.

No one makes that one. I guess you could always sell me your's ? Oh and it looks great on your car, but would be better on mine :-)

LOL. yeah i really like this bumper. I am just affraid that some dumb fark will hit me and wreck it.

As a matter of fact i have had some people already offering to buy it off me. But i dont think that i will part with this one. I like it cos its plastic and doesn't crack if i accidently hit the drive way.

Surely there is somewhere that sells replica bumpers. I figure it must be a rare type cos i have yet to see in person a skyline with the same bumper.

Does anyone know the value of these bumpers?

they're worth about $200, but I'll be generous and give you $400 for it

It is very similar to the gtr type yet not as tall, which is what I need as I want to lower my series2 and don't want the hassles of scraping everything I drive over, plus it has a decent size hole for an FMIC to breathe thru'.

An importer here in Perth has one on what I imagine to be the 40th anniversery model and it has a gtr type rear wing. The importer reckoned that he could get a glass one from his supplier and after assuring me that it was the same, I ordered one and was waiting with joy that I would have one. When it arrived it turned out to be the GTR type and I was so pissed off about it,so he gave me my $$ back.

Have tried every site that sells front bars but to no avail.

the car in this pic is the actual one that is in Perth now. You'll notice the holes/slots either side at the bottom of the spoiler are very slim compared to the GTR, otherwise the bar is very similar to the GTR

Hmm sorry mate. I have kinda got attached to this bumper now.

Will the importer dude sell you that bumper he has on that car. Surely a good offer of $$$ would get it ok. That bumper does have a large hole in the front for a fmic. My only problem is that i dont really want to be butchering up the bumper to fit one in.

I am trying to find slim FMIC round 50mm thick to fit in there. I might have to look at just getting a better SMIC to avoid having to cut anything.
