hi guys. I'm looking for a new front bar for my R34 GTT, thats cause i wana istall a new front mount. my current bar is almost all enclosed thats why i think that installing a new front mount with the current front bar wouldn't be a good idea, cause there wouldn't enough air going through. What do you think? Does it realy matter cause i realy like my front bar? and if i have to get 1 what's the best choice in your opinion? A photo of my car has been attached with the current front bar on it

if i t was up to me i would cut out the bar crossmember (part right in the middle and fibreglass it up. leave the whole front open and just get some mesh for the time being til you put your front mount on.

with ur number plate get a bracket and side mount it nexto either or your indicators or in front of the small side vents on the bar. the bar looks good.

modding the bar might cost like 300 to glass and re-spray and that but would be better for you coz dont need to change front bar

plus will make the bar look more aggressive

Well its somtimes hard to fiberglass to oem plastic bumpers and get a good bond. Best get ahold of somebody who can plastic weld then go from there.

As for your bumper support you can cut alot out of it . It wont be as strong but you cant modify a car without risking a few boundries.

You bought your car from Japlink like me :D ? Looks like the Japlink yard in your photos.

My car has the exact same kit, but a different rear bar.

Front bar is the same, from the replies in this post it looks like it will take a little bit more than trimming the reo to fit a FMIC to the nissan sports frontbar? I'm planning on buying the just jap intercooler kit.

It's a stock wing it came from Nissan with the body kit and I dnt mind it. Trust me man a lot ppl thought same as you but then changed their mind when I took it off

Did the 7 gaping screwholes left in the rear quarter panels have anything to do with it :D ?

I'm going to take off the corner parts of my wing & just leave the middle peice, just have to organise the time & money to get it done.

Yeah u right mate i did get it from Japlink motors. BTW trust me the holes had nothing to do with it I just like it the way it is you know. It's an original bar plus it doesn't look good without it.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
