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.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
