Fitting An R32 Gtr Front Bar To A R32 Gtst

[BH_SLO32]

Hi guys,

I have read and heard peoples various tales about the fittment of an R32 GTR front bar to a R32 GTST. I was wondering if someone can confirm or deny the possibility. My gut feel is it wont fit (without modifications) due to the GTR having wider guards.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Oh....off the topic, just thought I'd say that I finished my RB30DET conversion in my R32 GTST last weekend. It is a built motor with the same GT35R I had on the old RB25. Trying to organise a time with my cousin (Phil Laird) to get it tuned. Will let you know how it goes!

Thanks again

Ben

GTR front bar will only fit with the GTR guards.

you'll have to get a copy designed for the gtst guards.

or butcher the GTR one.

Bullshit. Leave now.

Yes a GTR bar will fit a Gtst. I've done it twice, to two of my own R32 gtst's.

Car 1, using GTR bonnet, bonnet latch, grille, bar reo and genuine bar.

Car 2, only using genuine bar.

the key is using an ORIGINAL gtr front bumper

that is, it has to be PLASTIC and not fibreglass

here's a pic of my old car with a GTR front bumper on a GTSt bonnet/guards etc:

yo mate seen in ur sig u do looms.. how much for a SR>RB25 loom done. i need a regular place to do my looms. feel like doin reoccuring business.

mines a fiberglass copy designed for a gtr and with a bit of modification fits quite neatly

[WazR32GTSt]

what is a "bit of modification"? did you have to cut and re-glass the bumper in the middle?

Markimak,

Depends on the car but if you are talking an RB25 (series 1 or 2) conversion in an S13 or 14 silvia or 180 then will be about $350 for the loom and if you wish to retain the S13,14 or 180 tacho you will need a digital corrector which I buy from Jaycar for about $50 or $60 (from memory). I bought one sometime ago and played around with it in my R32.

Where abouts on the southside are you? I'm at springwood.

"ahah wananbe gtr???"

nice contribution to the thread.

imho gtr bars suit the 32 best. all other aftermarket ones look bulky or dont suit the soft box like lines the 32 has.

The neo motors have a different tacho digital output. From memory it has a higher voltage and different pulse width to the RB and SR motors at any given rpm. Voltage we can correct for and you should be able to use the digital corrector but would need to look into this. Where there is a will there is always a way.

There are a few other differences from memory. From the little research I have done I know there is a number of additional load inputs the ECU looks for eg. Headlight activation etc. I would imagine this information is used in the idle control logic. If you want retain complete factory functionality you will probably need to provide these inputs although this would not be completely necessary for operation of the motor.

I'll have to have another look at the info I have on these motors and get back to you. I have another loom to do for someone else next week and I will likely be doing an SR20 conversion in my sisters old '84 bluebird as well so I am fairly well booked out for the next month.

If you are local I would be happy to catch up and discuss.

Cheers,

Ben
