Hey there,

I've being having a shit of a week dealing with this guy on ebay who sells aftermarket bars for R34's.

The front bar doesn't meet up with the bottom of the bonnet, however the seller says 

"you can either modify your own car steel bar or get a gtr from nissan.  he probably tell you you will need the headlight support as well which you can also modify your own one to fit."

 

Can anyone give me help as to what me means by this? Would a front reo bar from a GTR help? or is there a bar that runs behind the overhanging piece?

I feel a bit silly for asking here but I can't go look at my own car because it's at the shop.

Thanks guys.

Is that a genuine GTR bonnet? 

Looks like a Z-tune replica bumper?

It's not genuine anything, turns out it's a fake copy of an eastbear kit.

The ebay listing said "East bear" in the title, but it's not genuine.

Heres the ebay page http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172048552624?euid=f488992ae7db454a8ef4fb8dab37aa20&bu=44495797078&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu

and I've attached a photo from it.

Ah yeah, I've seen that eBay listing. I was very curious about fitment.

Shame about the poor fitment and poor support from seller.

I've ordered a GTR part that should run along the back of the top part of the bar, hopefully that pulls it up a bit.

I can't refund it because I don't have the original packaging to ship it back, If it doesnt work at all the GTR parts can be used for a genuine GTR conversion, but funds is an issue.

The original front bar got pretty badly damaged at Wakefield so I've had to order something in a hurry because this is my daily, but thats gone out the window now.

Thanks for your help.

lol screw that. just put the label directly on the bar and send it back. 

 

Did it really cost you $1,300?!? Get your money back! You can get cheap replicas for a few hundred that will probably fit better.

Well it's come to an end the GTR parts helped the bar out slightly, but the fitment is still pretty shithouse. 

Anyone looking to buy a kit from this guy on ebay, "godsmind66should seriously reconsider.

Seller also sent me a bunch of text messages and called me a few times, but I didn't pick up.

Luckily I not much of a show car kinda guy, and if it can take me to a track i'll be happy with that, but sucks getting scammed.

i know its far from ideal but to cover the bonnet and front bar gap would a bonnet lip help?

Yeah probably would, but I'm looking to getting a GTR reo bar and fenders and going via that route.

    • 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.
