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.

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

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

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. :laugh:

LOL. :laugh: 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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
