i searched this as well but can't get definite answer!

this is a summary of replies

1. it won't fit

2. it will fit but wont be flush and the side mounting points have to be pushed in cause gtr guards are wider

3. it fouls the reo <---- true or false?

If you want a GT-R front bar to fit your Series 1, but don't want to pay sh*t loads for a genuine item - take a look at Powerplayimports.com and check out there east bear bumpers, they make replica's of the GT-R kits for normal skylines that bolt straight on and they are plastic not that crappy fibreglass stuff.

can someone who actually got a genunie r33 gtr bumper on there gtst post how they fitted it?

like did you really need to cut into the reo to make the bar fit? i'm not too fussed about the guards not lining up and stuff since i don't use bolts to hold the bar on

mick from micolour told me that its definatel possible and that it can fit properly, but its not cheap :D

do you reckon 20mm front guards will help? mine are kinda rusting so considering getting wider fibreglass guards

im not too fussed that the gtr bar fits properly as long as it goes on without hacking into the reo

and i probably bend the bar at the sides and cable tie it to the guards!

cause i can't seem to find a series 2 front bar for cheap

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
