Hi,

The guards are wider, so the front bar will probably need some work to get it to fit, ive seen GTR bonnets go on GTST's without issue though

If you're in Sydney, i have a bonnet going very cheap if you havnt already found one

The bonnet fits, just need the gtr bonnet latch for the front (and the grill if you want).

The side skirts will need work too, as the gtr rear and front guards are wider. Just put the gtst side skirts on, they look better anyway IMHO.

The front bar fits but not perfectly, many people on these forums have done this. The big plus from using a genuine GTR front bar (as opposed to a fibreglass GTR copy designed fot GTSt) is that it is made from plastic and therefore a million times stronger.

who has a picture of GTR skirts?

Because of have normal type m skirts on my GTST, and I have seen GTR's with a sort of mudflappy looking thing added on top.. wouldn't mind getting one...

I'm trying to work out if all GTR's have this, or just some

The mudflap thing you're talking about is probably the Nismo rear skirt. Option from Mr Nissan, standard on the Nismo edition GTRs.

You can buy them but it'd be a little tricky to fit to your rear skirt Rylan, cause the GTR rear quarters are fatter.

MR Nissan? im not familiar with any place to get these parts from. Im from sydney..st george area. Any got any suggestions? i need a bonnet 100%, and gtr front bar and grille.

thanks for ur suggestions guys!! much appreciated!!

For reference, new GTR front bars are available from Mr Nissan for around $400-$500, depending on your mates rates.

Might be worth a look if you're paying $300 for fibreglass

Yep. You'd be best off to join the SAU NSW club (hint, hint) so you can receive trade/club discounts and you'll also know who to talk to at which Nissan. Otherwise, you'll no doubt have some older guy who wants your VIN and then tells you that VIN doesn't exist and you can't have parts, then tell you the Skyline parts aren't made anymore, etc.

Talk to the right guy and you'll have a genuine front bar in two weeks.

Oh yeah, 180_mph touched on a good point, you'll need a GTR front reinforcement bar or you'll have to cut up your GTSt one. I'd go to a wreckers or SAU for sale to find a used front reo bar.

    • And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.
    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
