I had the JUN front on mine for awhile. Swapped to VIS Racing Techno-R front. Fit well till a car decided different. :/ I felt the quality was there. Will take a body shop or you some elbow and sandpaper to clean the edges up before paint but that's typical on all aftermarket bumpers/fiberglass.

Thanks mate

For the price id expect it to be almost spot on!

Trying to find a ztune bonnet in fibreglass for my 33 gTR

That's a good looking hood. I tried looking for one of those ways back but ended getting a Seibon JU hood.

Here's the Seibon hood. I own a Zenki but I'm converting it all to a Kouki front. I'll get pics of the VIS Racing bumper when it gets done with paint. It was getting a coat of primer when I stopped in the body shop. I plan doing carbon fiber fenders later and probably gonna paint them white to blend in. Not sure if I will leave them natural fiber because I think that'll be too much contrast on a white car with a carbon hood. I plan to get sell my BBS wheels for some black Volk Rays or something like them. The old bumper seems to already disappeared too! I think my buddy came and picked it up for his project. He's converting his S-14 into a 15 and seems to think the old JUN bumper would work somehow. What have you decided on from Jap Salon?

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
