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

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
