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.

Nismo R34 GTR.

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
