Gtr Bumper On Gtst

[skyline2485]

ok so ive talked to a few people adn they say if you want to put a gtr front bumper on a gtst you have to buy new fenders and hood, that the lights are the same. they said there will be a little bit of a gap on between where the gtr bumper and the headlight. does anyone know if this will work. i have a gtr bumper sittin in my garage but wont fit on my gtst without modification. i live in the us so its hard to find parts and stuff

You can get a specialist plastic welder to do the job to make it fit, but otherwise it's a job that will need the guards. Then you need wheels to fill the guards or it looks poxy.

I have one I wanted on my GTS25t track car, but I'll keep it for the GTR instead.

what are the guards?

[chinkeboi]

guards aka front fenders... (metal part above front wheels)

I think someone should make a guide/sticky for this topic.. seems to be pretty common and popular.. (i'd like to know as well)

and all you haters out there that are going to jump on the bandwagon of "buy a real GTR" who cares lol.. GTR factory kits look awesome.. and theres no good looking R32 kits out there

From what I know, if you want to fit a genuine gtr bar to your gtst, you'll need the gtr guards and indicators for the bumper to fit properly. Chances are, you'll probably need a gtr reinforcement bar also. I don't think that you'll need to change your bonnet in any way for your bumper to fit.

thanks, yeah i got the bumper and lip free when i bought the car. tried to fit it and it was a no go. i dont know why i would need the hood. but i heard i need the fenders which makes sense since its a wider car. whats the bar? sorry we use different terms over here in the us. like guards i know as fenders. is the bar just the piece right below the lights that the bumper kinda sits on

Oh shit, I just realised that you've got a R33.

All I said above was for the R32. Sorry

[adam-__-]

'bar' is just bumper

[adam-__-]

reinforcement bar is the peice of metal behind the bumper

[skyline2485]

so do you think ill have to change it on the r33. what about a hood for mine?

[adam-__-]

My guess is that you'll have to change the gaurds, bonnet, maybe the reinforcement bar and headlights. I'm not too sure though. Best to wait till someone has an R33 with the GTR front done.

yeah you've got to change the guards on the r33, as geoff stated then you'll need wider offset wheels to make it look the goods, then you'll probably want to do something about the rear as it will look dicky if it isn't wide, and having a wider offset front than rear sounds dodgy imo lol..
