Do you have the s2 reo? or what... The s2 front bar will go on if you have the reo to suit, if you've only got s1 reo you may to modify it to fit. The 4 screw holes in the guards line up those of s2 bar the rest just sits flush with no connection between bar and body.

well its on the car. other than the 5mm overhang from the headlights it looks great. and lines up real well.

it actualy looks kinda tuff with the headlights buldging over because the bar hugs up nicely under neath it n looks almost like its meant to be there. ill put up pics if anyone is interested. cheers

Hey here is my series 1 with series 2 or 3 bumper. Not sure exactly. I think i got a series 2 GTR factory bumper.

that actually looks like a series 2 40th anniversary bar which is what I'm looking for. Here's a pic below of the one I've seen

Thanks

Sorry dude when i brought the car it already had that front bumper attached. I have no idea where you can get the same bumper. You might be able to find a fibreglass copy of it somewhere. Mine is the factory original.

When i saw my car at the dealer with that bumper i thought it looked very good and seemed to make it stand out a bit more from the majority of skylines out there. I feel that it looks a lot nicer on the series 1.

Hope ya get find somewhere to buy one. I have not found any sites or places that sell that bumper. :laugh:

LOL. :laugh: yeah i really like this bumper. I am just affraid that some dumb fark will hit me and wreck it.

As a matter of fact i have had some people already offering to buy it off me. But i dont think that i will part with this one. I like it cos its plastic and doesn't crack if i accidently hit the drive way.

Surely there is somewhere that sells replica bumpers. I figure it must be a rare type cos i have yet to see in person a skyline with the same bumper.

Does anyone know the value of these bumpers?

they're worth about $200, but I'll be generous and give you $400 for it :)

It is very similar to the gtr type yet not as tall, which is what I need as I want to lower my series2 and don't want the hassles of scraping everything I drive over, plus it has a decent size hole for an FMIC to breathe thru'.

An importer here in Perth has one on what I imagine to be the 40th anniversery model and it has a gtr type rear wing. The importer reckoned that he could get a glass one from his supplier and after assuring me that it was the same, I ordered one and was waiting with joy that I would have one. When it arrived it turned out to be the GTR type and I was so pissed off about it,so he gave me my $$ back.

Have tried every site that sells front bars but to no avail.

the car in this pic is the actual one that is in Perth now. You'll notice the holes/slots either side at the bottom of the spoiler are very slim compared to the GTR, otherwise the bar is very similar to the GTR

Hmm sorry mate. I have kinda got attached to this bumper now. :)

Will the importer dude sell you that bumper he has on that car. Surely a good offer of $$$ would get it ok. That bumper does have a large hole in the front for a fmic. My only problem is that i dont really want to be butchering up the bumper to fit one in.

I am trying to find slim FMIC round 50mm thick to fit in there. I might have to look at just getting a better SMIC to avoid having to cut anything.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.

      This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.

      OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
