R34 Type R Front Bar

[R34GT4DOOR]

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.)

[shinobi_s14]

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

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

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

[R34GT4DOOR]

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

[shinobi_s14]

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

Yeah I reckon that'll work with the front bar. Leave it white too to give it that GTR look

[R34GT4DOOR]

Some pics of yours would be sweet too shinobi

[shinobi_s14]

Okay. Will upload when I get to a computer mate

[shinobi_s14]

this is the lip I was talking about, it protrudes a bit so it'll line up with the front bar nicely I reckon

[R34GT4DOOR]

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 You cant notice unless you are up close to the bonnet.....

Heres another photo,

Still has to be sprayed yet but first im off to melb for a tune ect..

[shinobi_s14]

Looking good, you def need that bonnet lip though.. Either that or shave the pillar things so they line up with the bonnet

[suwidji]

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!

Looks good from the front, how does it line up with your side skirts etc from the side?

[SkyBlu2000]

[shinobi_s14]

<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>
