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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
