Hi all,

I've found IT! I have found THE front bar that I like best on an R34 GT-T.

Here it is:

If you look closely, there's also a little "lip" piece that extends the bonnet. Making it look meaner.

Now, bugger if I can find what front bar this is. I have looked all over the place. Everywhere. I can't even find another Skyline with this front bar. I have done enough research to know that he's got IMPUL sideskirts on it. I like them too.

In fact I love this car. I even love the subtle decals on the side. I want one! If I can get this front bar + lip extension (any ideas what it may be?!) + sideskirts I am definitely buying an R34 GT-T.

Who's this Frankie Lee guy?!

That's it! Minus the little front bonnet lip! (which may be custom made?).  

It's not the East Bear but cheers for the link and leeds guys. Getting there.

hahaha, im Franky Lie :) with a "y" tony!

anyways, that front bar is a Top Secret bar. mine is a COPY version of it. i got my front bar from www.carmate.com.au fitted and supplied for around $800.00. Carmate is in Sydney's south west area.

this is what i had when i bought the car, its an original front bar with an east bear front lip. imho, better looking than the Top Secret bar, but farken tooooooo low. i cracked it within weeks of putting it on.

so i got it replaced with the aforementioned,

unsure about that nose extension, but damn, if you do find out where i can get one, LET ME KNOW :P

im looking at further modifying my front bar, it needs to sit about an inch lower and i want some ducting channels to the front rotors. if you're interested in one when its made up talk to me offline. i've already approached a bodykit manufacturer and the wheels are in motion :)

Cheers Franky for the info. So since you're going to add another inch to your front bar I assume you're not having clearance problems with this carmate bar? That's great. Perfect!

And that front lip. It looks like it's just stuck on there. I am in the proecss of contacting the owner of that vehicle above. He lives in Hong Kong. It may be custom made? It makes the car look a LOT better IMHO. I will keep at it.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
