Hi guys I need some help!

I bought a new top secret front bumper off ebay for my series 1 r33 skyline gts-s. Unfortunately I didnt get around to attempting to install it for a few months later and found that the bumper was the wrong size. I think it is about 6 inches too wide (didnt measure at the time). After realising this i tried to contact the seller to no avail even though he is still selling the same kit on ebay (mybodykits)

Anyway i know there are differences between GTR front bars and GTS-T front bars. As such do you think that this is a GTR front bar?? Or does anyone know the dimensions of both bars?

Atleast if I can confirm it is then I can try to sell it such that I don't throw $300 away.

Cheers

I checked out the seller's bumpers and I'd say the problem is due to the fact the bumper you purchased is made of fibreglass, which 9 out of 10 times wont bolt up perfectly like a FRP bumper would.

A GTS front bar should measure 175cm from mounting point to mounting point. From memory a GTR bar is 6 cm wider.

Just because it's wider than 175 doesn't always mean its a GTR bar though, it could just be a poor mould or stretched due to heat or catalyst composition.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
