hi guys. i have finally had enough of repairing and re spraying my front fibreglass bar on my r33 gts-t. i have finally decided that i want to try and fit an original GTR front bar on my gts-t r33. i am pretty sure that to make it all fit right i'll have to fit the GTR guards, bonnet, headlights, grill etc to make it all work. i've never seen a car with standard gts-t rear guards and the wider front GTR guards?? does this look silly at all and is all this possible?? e.g. will the harness in my gts still plug into the GTR headlights etc...??

if this topic is already on here somewhere please advise where and i thankyou for all your help i advance.

Its an expensive conversion i say just to stop you from fixing your front bar all the time. maybe try and be abit more carefull with it?? How are you damaging it in the first place? I'd say it would look quite strange with pumped fronts and normal rears. for the amonut of money spent on the conversion it would be cheaper to pay good money for an "original" not a copy of an original aftermarket bodykit thats made from that flexi-fibreglass compound. Will fit better and have the give when you bump something once in a while.

my 2 cents.

i get what your saying. where would i find one of these "non fibreglass" front bars though to fit a standard gts? not a standard bar though... something nicer?

i would be doing all the labour myself for the front end and i am a painter/panel beater as well so the paint isn't an issue.

as for the damage on my current bar.... well living in sydney is just difficult if you ever actually want to drive up a driveway. i dotn think i've found one that i can drive striaght up on and while most of the time i can drive up at an angle the odd times when there is some stupid car in the way or whatever just cracks the bar where it mounts on the guard and scrapes the underneath......

check those online stores like greenline, takakaira, nengun. they usually deal with originals, some brands offer that flexi compound some dont so you have to doubel check. From what you described i think your still gonna have scraping issues with the roads and driveways you use cause alot of the aftermarket bars are a heck of a lot lower than a stock gtr one. Your on the money though with the gtr one as it has a botom lip that can be taken off for repairs.

If you can source all parts for a decent price it maybe worth a shot, might have to flare the rear guards out abit...then you may need new rims to sit flush with the wheel archs? will your sideskirts fit the gtr pannels? alot to think about, would be a good project non the less. those gtr headlights with projectors look hot.

Yes it does look strange, and no the GT-R lights do not just plug in.

However, I'm pretty sure you dont need to change your headlights, bonnet or grill to fit the front bar, and I know the 32 GTR front bar fits perfectly to GTS fenders

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
