Im looking to get the Dolphin grill and just want to make sure it will fit the aero bar.

Ive been looking on importmonster cause that what ive read where yous recommend,

I assume this first one must be some sort of copy,

But there also this one that seams it might be genuine

The first one is a copy of the Dolphin. Aaron has one on his car and can explain the difference when he sees this thread.

I've got one which i bought from the same seller in Japan with a friend at the moment which i will pick up when i am there early October. If you do buy the first one, pay the extra to get it painted in your vehicle colour from the same seller. The link you have posted comes unpainted.

IMO it is worth the extra 4,500Y to have it painted then sent. Would probably cost more than $50 to get it painted here.

Link to painted one: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/150272379

If it is white like the ones in the link (& mine) the paint code is QX1

Agree with Iain, either will fit the Aero bar.

lol. first one isnt dolphin. its just a no name brand one that someone designed and then decided to bulk make. they come painted for factory white cars.

first one looks heaps better on the car imo, the actual dolphin one is shit.

first one though to get it to fit properly youll just have to re drill mounting holes or put self tapping screws through it.. ill post a pic of how it came up on my car during the day

now looking at them I see the difference and the first one dose look a bit better.

Whats the paint code for a black one?

i didnt paint code it, i got a matte so i could match it as best as i could to the guards.

paint code should be on your vin plate

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.

      R34 GT+t stock Auto transmission?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Extra torque will wear it out. The clutches won't be to the same spec as those on the turbo box, and the shift speeds possibly won't suit handling more torque either. Autos in R34s are a nightmare. 8HP conversion is the only sensible option.
