Gtr Bar On Gtst?

[croat]

as above, is it possible to modify an original GTR front bar to suit a GTST? (R33 in this example).. How is this done? Reason being i am sick of the cheapo fibreglass cracking non-stop, just want to get it done properly..

Any pics?? Ta

[croat]

anyone??

I was under the impression that they were the same chassis so it would be just a bolt on situation.

Just like ive heard you can put an s13 front on a 180sx and vice versa (strawberry conversions)

Either way im not sure but since noone has replied i thought i'd state my opinion even though you are looking for fact, sorry man.

I've heard you need to get the factory gtr bars modded to fit onto Gtst's as they are a few mm's out of alignment, also maybe different mounting points?

Sorry I can't be of any further help, but it would be worth your while to ask around places like Unique Autosports as they specialise in nissans.

YEAH APARENTLY THEY ARE WIDER AS THE GTR HAS FLARED GUARDS.. JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH IF I DO IT AND A GOOD PLACE TO TAKE IT TO..

First of all it wont fit. You're better off buying a GTR style bar made to fit a GTS-t from someone like East Bear Sports in Japan.

Secondly, putting an S13 front on a 180SX IS NOT a Stawberry face conversion. Putting an S15 front end on any Silvia is a Strawberry Face Conversion. The name comes from the Japanese translation. In Japan, S15's are referred to as "ICHI GO". Now ICHI GO literally means ONE FIVE. However ICHIGO also means Strawberry. Hence why it's called a Strawberry Face Conversion.

i have seen a photo previously of someone that had a GTR bar fitted to a R33 gtst and it looked flawless

You sure it was a GENUINE NISSAN GTR bar and not a remake to suit a GTS-t?? The East Bear ones look FLAWLESS. If you didn't know you'd never pick it.

Also you don't know how much the bar was modified to fit as well.

Looks can be decieving

i heard the bar was just bent a bit etc to make it fit, was not 100% sure though. where can i get an east bear one like that white 33 in the pic? they make them for series 1?

[GtstCoupe]

series 1 and 2 are the same and also what are the quality of the jetspeed and uas ones like

[Tosh]

I can supply all east bear products and yes they are available for series 1's

if you have the front fenders, hood, bumper support bar and bumper off a GTR, then you can do a swap and it'll all bolt up with no problems and nasty gaps.

Probably cheaper to buy an east bear bumper to fit onto your standard mounting points though.
