I went ahead with the Type R front bar from Viva Garage.. And im pretty happy with how it came up so far.. I have had the bar pre fitted befor painting and have attached some photos..

The only problem is the bonnet lip does not sit flush onto my Z-tune carbon bonnet so Im not sure how im going to make it fit.. Still working on it.

And also it doesnt quite fit flush with the bottom of the headlight on the drivers side. It sits in about 10mm but the other side is ok. As u can see from the angle of the first photo.. But is really only noticeable from the right angle.

Will post some more photos when 100% complete. This is also the first time iv posted photos so not sure if this is the right way hahaha

It probably wont work with a lip because that bonnet wasn't designed to be used with a bonnet lip (top mole), those are just for when you use a gtr bonnet and a gtt front bar, the gtt front bars are chopped flat where it meets the bonnet where the gtr front bars have that extra 'lip' at the top as the gtr bonnets don't curve downward at the front.

If that makes any sense (makes sense in my head, maybe not in words though.)

Oh yeah, i know what you are talking about, so i assume you suggested it more to mask the fact that the bonnet doesn't sit flush with the bumper rather than as a fix per say lol.

I actually considered getting a carbon one, but i don't know, i wasn't 100% sold on the look

Haha yeah that made perfect sense but I don't mean the top mole that's used with GTR bonnet and gtt bumper. I meant the bonnet lips that attach to the front of the gtt bonnet, like the one I use to have

You mean like the one i have? Will it work with that front bar -

Yes I think it makes sense.. It's a bit confusing.. The bar came with a bonnet lip but I'm assuming it's made to fit a standard gtt bonnet.. Maybe the z tune carbon one is a little difference shaped at the front.. I'm not sure

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the same lip that the bar came with.. It just doesn't quite fit right.. I suppose ya can't expect much when your only paying that price.. Il work somethin out..

Mine isn't a perfect fit... But close enough :thumbsup: You cant notice unless you are up close to the bonnet.....

Hey guys,

I'm also interested in buying this front bar from viva, however I'm not too sold on the bonnet lip from the photo's i see from the first page of this thread lol.

I have a black gtt, so hoping it would look good with this front bar. Shinobi, when you said to shave off some of the pillar things to make it line up with the bonnet, how would go about doing that? Just for future reference if i end up going with this bar lol.

Thanks!

<p>It sits heaps lower than the rest of the car.. It also sticks out more..  I would recommend getting somethin that flares out abit like the impul skirts to match up better but i bought the Z-tune style ones a while back and am outta cash to change my mind about it -.-</p>

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
