Gtr Front Is Colder

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Ive always had cooling issues.

I put a GTR for GTST front bar on the other day.

Its made a BIG difference to temperatures. the fan isnt on all the time, its hardly on at all now.

Even the oil cooler seems to be getting more air flow.

So airflow makes the biggest difference of all to the cooling ability of a skyline, cos they have such small holes to begin with.

So after adding an oil cooler, a fleabay radiator, twin thermos and removing the aircon; it was the GTR bar that did the most.

Next improvement would be a GTR bonnet to open up the gap between the lights.

so you put a GTR bar on the GTSt? Much modification needed? Not sure how easy the bonnet would change over either?

Looks the goods but, Would love a R33 gtr S3 front bar on mine

It's an easy swap as both parts are of the same chassies.

If you want GTR grille and bonnet you really need GTR headlights (they have the mounts for the grille) and you need the GTR bonnet latch support because it is quite different to the GTSt one. My car has GTR front (originally done in Japan before I imported it) and they actually put a GTR rad support panel in it too. I know this because it recently got crashed and the repairer had to get a GTR rad support and not a GTSt one - otherwise stuff wouldn't have gone back together the same.

Yer ive looked into it for the 33's, Seems quite the job to get it done 100%

To fit the GTR bonnet, you won't need GTR headlights as mentioned in Post #4. You already have projectors and they come with the attachments for the GTR Grille.

I have done this mod, and all you need is latch, grille and bonnet.

dont need a grille, just bonnet and catch

and the bar is gtr for gtst, its narrower than stock gtr so it fits straight up

Just cut the bonnet and put an carbon/fibreglass copy N1 lip on it. That's what I did when I was GTRifying my GTST, looks good, some sikaflex holds it on no probs, a lot cheaper than a GTR bonnet.

good one . . ive thought cutting the gtst bonnet to look like a gtr one would be possible and (as of last year)the grilles are still available new and just jap stocks new fibreglass gtr style bumpers that fit the gtst reo.

What about the catch?

Wouldnt that cut it off? then how do you hold the bonnet shut?

ill have a look when i get dressed(and finish coffee)

Sound like a good one if i can make it work

N1 lip? ill have a search and see what it is

Ps: any pics of that bonnet mod?

[cherring]

Ok a few pics, the finished product from the outside. Will look better when I replace the grille, the fibreglass one I got is a bit warped, thinking a sweet carbon fibre one will be nice. Also a pic of where we cut it.
