get a top secret front bar they look unreal

everyone post some pics of what bars they like!!!

I want some ideas...

I like that 40th anniversary gtr front bar...

but like if you got a dodgy fibreglass or whatever one from somewhere..

i just dono if theyd be ne good .. theyd prob b flimsy as..

So the story gets better. Me and Dad spent the afternoon pulling the front lip spoiler off the factory S2 front bar. I have never seen so much sikaflex and dodgy repair work in my life. It looks like there was some front end on Japanese driveway action and only the lip was repaired, and not very well at that. A coat of fresh paint quite nicely hid the repair work...

Is that Factory GTR bar shown above a special or custom part or can you retrofit any GTR bar to go onto the GTS cause at the moment im leaning towards that option.

P.S. Sorry to whore your thread Stevo but i reckon we are in the same boat. I dont want some dodgy piece of shit hanging off the front of my pride and joy either.

yup no wucking furries......... everyone post pics of bars we should get ;)

i would probably rather a bar like the 400 r one above keeping the series 2 lights..

as they look sick..

but the gtr bar would accomodate my intercooler better... and gtr bars without wide body guards dont do it for me... really

if you've screwed up the bottom part of the front bar then the lip will cover it up, if you've somehow managed to hack up the entire front bar...............then I guess get GTR front bars....a lot of people like 400R front bars, but I only find the skirt and rear bar to be appealing.

JUN kits are hot as well

and um......NO VEILSIDE!!!!!!!!

sounds the goods.. hey where do you guys buy the lips from and who makes them??

quality ones!!!!

yer my bar isnt mangled its just got a deep grinder mark right near the cooler lower right hand side

its truly hardly noticable but its the little things that shit me

How about Unique Autosports, are their kits any good? http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/priceli...er33styling.htm

They have some nice looking bars, but im still not sold on the fibreglass.

Have you guys thought about the Trust bar??

Here's mine I had fitted on Friday after my GTR bar was custom modded by an old Asian guys Echo.

looks unreal that one mate...

steve i think its a toss up between the trust one or a gtr 1

^^^^

that looks good man.

i like the smoothness of the shape.

there's a guy on here selling 'banana' bars.

do a search, i think they look pretty good.

personally i dont like the hard straight lines, and sharp corners of gtr and similar bars. 400R = blah.

While I originally had the GTR bar it just didn't show enough of the front mount for my tastes.

Whereas the Trust bar shows enough that it looks like it might suck up children and small animals from the side of the road.

Hehe.

wazzup kane..

yeh... well i am gonna keep the bar i have.. but that 1st pic someone uploaded of the 40th aniversary the top one is different... and its standard the dude selling it says its an option bar and its nismo...the dude is dreaming though he wants 26gz hahaha..

i really love that bar..

i am just going to get a front lip for now ... a nismo style one or the same one as mr_crust who runs a d speed front lip from Powerplay.. think its made by eastbear. called d speed pretty fkn hot!...

and the lips will cover the part of my bar that is slightly damaged.. but its honestly barely noticable ...

front lips are cheap as and they look mad .. just gonna b a bitch with cops now .. my car i :mad: s 100 mm off teh ground.. adding a front lip will make it like 40 mm off the ground (lowest pt).

LMFAO! well said

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
