The originak GTR bar is polypropylene, not ABS. And its not a perfect fit. My intercooler doesnt sit flush with the bar as the bar isnt deep enough...and it doesnt align properly with the wheel guard...but is close. I had a guy plastic weld and modify mine, so its looking pretty good. I woyuld have rather a GTSt bar but i couldnt find one in good nic :(

...oh and dont use Carmate

Fibreglass Gtr Bar to suit gtst from JS Auto Imports. fit well and weel priced. about $500 with N1 vents.

i just had mine installed troy, and it fits like the gtst bar did.. really nicely!

my bad on the ABS.. can we just go with an umbrella term like "its plastic" then..

oh, and did you get those pics i sent? i never got a reply from you!

Id be interested to see the fit of the std GTR bar around where it bolts to the inner guard. When i lined mine up the edge didnt sit flush with the line of the guard. Only monir, but since i was going to the troublwe of getting it resprayed i figured i wanted it to be a better fit.

Yeh got the pics...ordering after i get my car registered

roy,

mine fit well.. i don't think i'm that much of a perfectionist with some things so what i call "fits well" and what you call "fits well" might be different..

there's a small gap between the bumper and the guard, but it bolts onto all the other parts of the front perfectly..

the reo had to be cut for the N1 holes but that's it

i'll get some pics soon hopefully...

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
