you can actually get the genuine item from nissan,

but they dont fit a gtst (they obviously dont have flared guards)

so i think a body kit shop would have to be contacted.

Or keep a close eye on the classifieds and wait till one pops up, and they usually do

it just doesnt stick around for that long!!

Ive actually got a genuine R32 GTR N1 bumper n lip on my GTST and the gap between the bumper n fender is bout 1.5cm...which isnt too bad...i just pushed it in bolted it in n then cable tied it...ill get some pics up soon as my car is gettin a bit of work done to it mechanically so the front bar is off atm

So the front quarter panels on a Gtr a wider then a gtst as well? I only thought GTR rear guards were wider

Yep...the GTR front fender is wider...as well as the rear...but u can pick up GTR front fender off ppl on this forum...i seen ones for around $400 each side...ull also need the front grill and also the GTR bonnet whether be modded GTST bonnet or genuine (light as) and ull also need to either mod the existing bonnet latch or go GTR item

Master bo bo - that's great, thanks. My last fibreglass bar didn't fit up too well anyhow (maybe a .5 to 1 cm gap)!

Yes, both the front and rear guards are pumped on a GTR (or slimmed on a GTS depends on your perspective!). FYI the front guards on a GTR are aluminium as well making them lighter - though the GTS guards are not 'heavy'.

i wanted to convert the front guards on my car to GTR items but they seem sooo expensive and i also need to respray them..so it seems like a waste of money..n i think i wud be too try hardish to do it..but thats just IMO...looks good tho

mmmm....... all very helpfull. seems like it could cost alot of money to have GTR front bar. Is there places that make aftermarket GTR front bars that will fit on GTST? Does anyone else know anywhere that may sell something like this?

Are you still able to post up pics as i have a genuine N1 bar at home and i havn't tried fitting it yet.

Here's photos of my shitter with genuine GTR bar. You also need to cut the reo or get a GTR reo to fit the bar as the "mouth" is much bigger than the GTS-t bar.

I can take some better ones if people want. They're not too hard to fit though, so if you've got one lying around, throw it on :)

So is there any gaps at each side that other people speak of when having a gtr front bar on gtst without gtr bonnet and guards?? what the reo you speak of?? i guess some better pics wouldnt hurt if you dont mind

also can you have a gtr bonnet, grill and front bar and still keep the gtst side skirts. i just had a look on car sales and there is alot a gtst skylines with gtr bonnet, grill and front bars but they never mention bout having gtr front guards

The reo is the reinforcement bar behind the front bar. What gaps are you talking about? There aren't really any on there now that strike me as obvious.

Bonnet and grill have nothing to do with the sideskirts... If you get GTR guards, you need GTR indicators too GTS-t indicators dont line up with the GTR guards. With the bonnet you also need the GTR bonnet catch as the latch is in a different spot on the bonnet.

Will try and get some better pics tomorrow. Any particular angles you want?

Well thats a shit load better than the copy one i had!

Plus i have the grill and the GTR bonnet to so i think im gonna be happy!

All the fibreglass copies I've seen have been crap. They're made to suit GTS-t, but dont fit! What's the point of having the copy then!?

Cant go wrong with genuine :worship:

If you dont want the GTR bonnet and grill and want to let them go real cheap, let me know :P

The gap i was talking bout was that someone mentioned earlier in the thread about there gtr front bar having gaps when fitted to there gtst. Yeah about them side skirts...... i dont even know why i wrote side skirts..... too long at work i think, anyway, what i want to know is if you can have gtr bonnet, grill and front bar on gtst and not have to swap to gtr front guards as well???

Yes, nothing wrong with that, will work. Bar will just look like it does on my car (not perfect fit).

There was a gap on my drivers side between the guard and the top of the bar, about 20mm. Fixed it by using a bolt with some big washers instead of cable ties. Has pulled the whole bar up nicely so no unsightly gaps there :wave:

Everywhere else is just held on by cable ties... :wave: Bit lazy, haha

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
