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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
