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.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
