Here are some pics of front bars which I am confused about.

The grey one is the type that was on my car when i got it from Japan. Most GTS-ts I have seen have this one. Unfortunately, after an front end accident, it was replaced with a "genuine" Type M front bar from Nissan Australia. It looked kinda like the black one. At the time i didnt raise a fuss about the different bars because I just wanted my car back from the smash repairs.

But i have just had another crash in the same spot and will be replacing the front bar again. I wanna get one like it was originally (as they look so much better). Therefore if anyone knows the different part numbers for the two bars that would be a great help.

Also curious to know if anyone else has seen the black type around.

thrtytwo my car is also a Type M according to FAST! :laugh:

The Nissan Australia guy who ordered the parts told me that the black type bar was the one that came with the car originally. Either that or he was covering his arse for ordering the wrong one from Japan!

At the smash repairers the guy compared the two and pointed out that the original (grey) one had nothing on it to indicate that it was a genuine nissan part. It also seemed to be made out of a different material so he thought it must have been aftermarket.

If anyone can come up with the part numbers for the different R32 front bars that would be a big help. Parts will be getting ordered for my car shortly.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
