Forgive the newbie question, but what's a reasonable price for an R32 GTR front bar and bonnet?

I got careless and bent the front of my GTS-4 - oops :P I've got a quote from someone local with a GTR half-cut (they are a straight swap, right?), but it's a bit more than I was hoping.

Any ideas?

On a positive note, this gives me a good excuse to get that respray :rant: Now to pick a colour...

Ok, we've sorted that out ($350-400 seems to be a good ballpark figure)...

But no one has been able to give me a definite answer as to whether an R32 GTR front bar will fit without modification onto an R32 GTS-4. Some people say yes, others say you have to swap the front guards as well.

Can anyone give a definitive answer, preferrably someone who has actually done it?

I am in the process of doing this now...

A GTR bonnet requires hinges and modifications to the latch (or a GTR latch support).

The front bar will not fit unless you trim the front bar support or source a GTR front bar support. They do need to be squeezed a bit to fit - so make sure you have it done at a workshop that has done this before to ensure that it will look good.

You then have the issue of no grille... To fit the grille, you need GTR headlights as there is clips on them which hold the grille in place.

Bonnet $450-700

Bar $380 - $650

grille $150 - $250

hinges $20 - $80

latch $free - $50

headlights - $150 - $600

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll have to talk it over with the guy at the smash repairs. Whichever way I go, it's going to cost - but if the insurance is subsidizing the first few thousand then it might be worth it.

why spend the money on the lights when you could just custom make some clips or brakets for them? or just not have the grill and make it look abit different

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
