R33 GTR Series 3's came with the vents from factory.

Known as Series 3 Front Bar, they direct more air to the front mount intercooler.

R32 GTR's have this as well and is know as the Nismo Front Bar, applying the same purpose of direction more air to the front mount intercooler.

Ohk so its not from standard. I was worrying my GTR had an aftermarket bar or something because i could've sworn nearly every gtr has these vents at the front.

Series 3 Front Bars can be bought after purchasing the car and added on later.

That does not make it a "Genuine" Series 3.

My R32 GTR is just a base model but has Nismo Front Bar and Side Skirt but does not make it a "Genuine" Nismo Edition.

What the? Im worried mine isnt a series 3 anymore. Could you please help. Here is a photo24012011230ed.jpg

That is a Stock Front Bar.

Get VIN Number off the Blue Build Plate you have in the engine bay and post it here - http://www.skylinesa...ou-want-fasted/

get the vin fasted.

Search 'FAST'

it will tell you what car and model it is.

Hey Joe, also, unfortunately, the front splitter (black part below the bumper) looks like a Series 1 or 2 (like mine was). The Series 3 has a deeper front splitter with larger brake cooling ducts.

As above I think the N1 ducts were an option from 1995 (I have a Japanese brochure which shows them as part of the accessories I think) but every S3 I've seen has them.

Does your car have red trim (fleck) inside, or blue? Blue = S1 / 2, Red = S3.

Really appreciating all this help as i have held of events for the day to stay on here for further info. The interior has red stitching in the seats and the steering wheel! and there is no a lsd light

Your car may indeed be a series 3 but if it doesnt have the alsd it may not be a vspec.

If you can see your diff housing check if there are hydraulic lines running to either side of the diff at the top.

Damn don't think its a v-spec then. Im calling the previous owner and going to sort thing straight with him, Im worried it may not be a series 3 because i can't find any lights for the rear fog light (if it even has one) because they are ment to be on the series 3

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
