hi guys

in regards to the BNR34, does anyone know why the front/side.....R/H or L/H bumper bar vent is there? (shown in the picture below)

i mean, its obviously there cool something...most likely to cool the brakes or disks.

but why are they not on all BNR34s, was it a factory option?

let us know what you think

cheers

That is the Nismo Front Bar.

I'd say the side vents are for cooling and for aggressive looks.

hi there

i see...yes does look very similar to the Z-tune

so was the Nismo front bar a factory option at Nissan, or was it all aftermarket?

also I've added another picture

yet again, this front bar side vent looks slightly different?

(I've mainly seen these from pictures in the UK. but they weren't a full import to the UK?)

Hey!

The Nismo front bar would be a factory option.

The picture you added is still the stock GTR front bar (non Nismo) but has Nismo Vents (front and side).

Some call it "N1" Vents, but I believe they are Nismo items.

It is an add on for better direct air flow and cooling for the oil cooler if / when installed.

I assume the R34 GTR was a full import to the UK, couldn't tell you if they were a local import to the UK, as in sold at a local Nissan dealer.

In built bonnet lip spoiler on top of the grill.

Front grill sides are more angular in shape for more aggressive look.

There are 2 vents, one on each side of the front bar.

2 extra vents next to the indicators.

The vent under the indicator protrudes out for more of an aggressive look.

Nismo Z-Tune.

Similar to the Nismo front bar, but vents next to the indicator have been removed.

The vents under the indicator have been revised, as it protrudes out further joining on to the lower vent making it a 1 piece.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
