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!!

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'.

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?

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

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

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
