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.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
