Hey guys, just put on a cooler on my 1993 r32 type M.. anyway the front bumper isnt fitting so had to put on an aftermarket one but i want to use the type M bumper to attract less attraction from cops (dont want to have the car looking too flashy) ive been told that i'd have to cut the typeM bumper so that it wuld fit on but too much of it would need cutting, anyone else have suggestions?

oh and with the other bumper i have its a bit damaged, how much would it cost to get it touched up to look new again?

thanks

I have a R32 GTS4 Type M, Ive got a nice big FMIC in behind mine at the moment. Fitted it all and modded the bar with a mate, pretty much all u need to do is angle grind (best way even though it sounds dodge) the front vent where it comes inward towards the engine bay. I also removed the small verticle middle segment in that front vent and after some checking (make sure ure cooler is pretty much mounted - which i believe yours to be) you can fit it up. Anyone can do it if you take ure time and arn't a retard on the angle grinder. Mine looks stock and perfectly mounted but theres a big FMIC in there. Hope this helps

Cheers.

Hey

You can cut the shit out of the back of the bumper and make it fit.

I got a 600*300 cooler on my car and I was using a stock GTS front bumper, I just cut the back of it and it fitted on perfect.

If you want to get your bumper repaired, cracked/damaged etc I can recommend a guy who does a mint job for a good price.

Let me know how you go.

if you want the ultimate solution for a FMIC on a GTSt then what you need is an original GTR bumper

that's the original nissan plastic front bumper - not the cheap fibreglass copiesthat are made for the GTSt but look like GTR bumpers

it bolts to the GTSt without modification, and because the GTR comes standard with a FMIC there is plenty of room for the FMIC you have added

plus, in my opinion, its the BEST looking front that any R32 can have (see picture)

Hmmm i went to the place Abu recommended but because its fibreglass and theres alot of cracks it pretty much needs to be completely remade with glass which he said would cost about $250. He said it might be a better idea to just buy a new front bumper because it would be around the same price but i havent seen an R32 before with this bumper and it really suits the car which is why i wanted to get it repaired. But now im thinking maybe to just get the original typeM bumper and getting it cut out the back from that bumper place to fit. I dont really know anyone with an angle grinder that can do a proper job for me..

So yeah im just thinking about what to do now. Im not really into the GTR bumper because so many cars have them.

Edit: Attached a few pics of my car.

the thing is, the GTR bumper was actually made to match the rest of the car, unlike the bumper you have now

compare the typeM bumper to the GTR bumper and you will see that it looks like arse in comparison

i bought a second-hand original R32 GTR bumper off the forums for $250 a while back. i know that's cheap, but for even a couple of hundred more you can have the bumper that was designed for that shape and designed to fit a massive FMIC behind it as stock

whatever you do, best of luck.

Hmmmm yeah its definately something to think about, but adam sent me a few pictures of his cut front bar and that looks pretty good so i think ill just go with getting my old Type-M bar from my mates place then getting the back part cut as well as the front mouth where the grills are then just chucking it back on.. that way i can hold off on my respray for a bit while i collect cash because the bar i have on right now is grey so yeah... Ill give that a try first and if it looks good and fits fine ill leave it until i think about getting a new kit maybe a Vertex or something

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
