Hey guys, i have an Nissan Skyline R34 GT arriving in December yet it currently has the factory nismo body kit.,

Im not a particular fan of the front bumper for the nismos and so iv been searching around for some nice front bumpers any ideas or nice bumper designs that would suit it.

i was keen on the Do Luck bumper yet iv heard alot of issues with being too low, need something practical :)

if you end up ordering from viva, pay the extra for shipping insurance. i ordered a lip that was broken in 2, no biggie i fixed it myself, but if you don't have the skills or time or cash to fix, you may as well pay the shipping insurance.

http://www.vivagarag.../index.php?c=87 check this out. Type R on page 3 looks good.

very gt-r like!

its nice imo go for something different that doesnt make it look like a gt-r :)

personally i would go for a top secret front bumper

not too sure .. mine really needs a new bonnet and front bumper though, it looks odd with sides/rear but no front

+1 to johnnoHaving the top secret bumper really sets it apart, I've got it on my pearl white 25gt(sedan) and bystanders still think its a gtr at times.Note: did remove the 's' badge and just have factory skirts/bumper

If anyone knows of any bonnets that are still painted ( would like to keep that subtle look) let me know :)

Both of those are Top Secret front bars, the white one is a copy of the GTR front bar while the silver is the gtt designed one.

The gtr version (on the gtr) comes with a lip as well which finishes off the look, as at the moment it looks like something is missing.

I really do like the gtr front bumper but the only issue is u need the full kit for it too look good and proper,

otherwise its looks like a rip off version of a gtr in my opinion, i want some thing unique and different, i really did like the Do Luck yet they arent practical at all. Im kinda leaning to the top secret.

i plan on lowering it also would yous know if thats an issue at all?

Also some thoughts on what i plan on doing to it is, a nice front bumper (no final decsion yet..), Te 37s (glossy black), with black gtr bonnet, and possibly some simple skirts, the car is grey btw ???

yeah mine didnt come with a lip, ive been looking around like crazy to find one, also probably looks like somethings missing because it's a non-turbo > no FMIC. all in due time though :thumbsup: hopefully..

fuark thats cheap! yeah thats along the same thing im looking for.

As far as i know it's a top secret bumper (made for gtr) but fitted for a gtt.only the two end bolts were holding it up until the other week when i drilled a hole through one side so i could raise it up alittle because it was sagging alittle around the headlights.

[being second australian owner cant find any reciepts from previous driver buying or installing the bumper, so i can only assume it was put on in japan.]

this is top secrets gtr which is the lip i want to acquire but cant manage to find it anywhere, will the universal one fit maybe?

Im guessing it will, since it fits gtr u shouldnt have a problem,

its really similar anyway if u really want you could paint it a nice glossy black would look really nice on yours but i rekon keep looking.

For the price though it is really cheap so i though i show ya haha :)

yeah its a definate option for me now, just buy it > fit it on and in the event that i manage to find the real deal - boom bought and swapped.

just wish there were more options for side skirts/bumpers for the sedans as there are for the coupes.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
