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

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
