R32 Gtr Bar On Gtst

[R32Abuser]

Hi all,

Now iv just fitted a R32GTR Front bar on my GTST. Changed the reo bars over so its fits etc etc. However, i know the guards are thinner on a gtst compared to a gtr, but iv seen GTR bars which fit almost perfect WITHOUT GTR guards and im wondering just how some people have done this. I have tried adjusting the reo bar but all this has done is make the bar fit better in the vertical direction. My trouble is with the guards, where the bar sits too wide on the guards. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers David

i would just leave it until you can afford the gtr guards.....

yeh i know...i just dont see how all these guys do it...I tried adjusting teh reo bar, but generally speaking that only adjusts the virtical position and not the horizontal position.

Have you tried using your GTST reinforcement bar?

I'm not too sure where you problem is, is it that you can't get the side of the bar to line up with your guards or?

if you fit gtr guards on the front, the whole car will look odd.. i wouldnt personally reccomend it. i have a standard gtr v spec 2 bar on my gtst, and it fits up perfectly. by the picture of yours, it looks the same, fits up fine, really cant see whaere the problem is? i dont use a reo by the way, i dont see the point, you hit something, your going to hit it, who cares about a reo.

The reinforcement bar does its job quite well actually. And another thing you're risking is getting your insurance voided for not having it in.

Sorry that wasnt my car i was just showing an example....ill put up a pic of how mine is sitting tommoro. I currently have the GTR Reo in there atm with N1 slots cut out which is why i cant see why it doesnt fit rite.

Bezender where u located...probs best to pm bout this stuff...talk to u soon.

who cares about the reo.. i drift my car.. i can change my bar in 2 minutes.. i dont need the reo.. if you hit at speed.. your going to hit.. simple as that.

[R32Abuser]

if you dont use the reo, teh bar sags in the middle as you cant attach the middle mounts to anything. And besides that, the reo bar is made for smaller hits. Without it one of these smaller hits could do substantial damage which could have been reduced using a reo bar. Id rather have mine there than not.

Here are the photo's i sed id post. See the first one is the drivers side and it sits almost rite but still outside the guard a little. The second one is the passenger side and there is a serious gap. Last one is the vertical fit from front on which is about rite however i reckon i might move it down a tiny bit due to the indicators being a bit hard to get it with it sitting that high. How have people managed to get their sides lining up with the guard with genuine GTR bars ona GTST.?!?!

BTW Scuse the dirtyness of the car-it rained last nite haha

The front on shot doesn't look too bad, but the birds eye few shots you can tell the gaps are pretty big. haha.

Try PM'ing salad on these forums. He's got a genuine GTR bar on his 4 door GTST.

[R32Abuser]

i know! thats what i mean i cant work out why the gaps are so big! I talk to salad on Msn sometimes and he rekns he just put his on and it was ok. BUt surely there is something i cna do to at least improve how it is atm. i was talking to bezender and his bar is actually further back past the wheel arch (i.e. the end of the bar extends slightly into the wheel arch area so that the guard and bar clearance for the tyre arent even. But the overall fit is almost perfect. But i cant see how that would work on mine as the holes on the bar (at the top for the attachment to the reo) lineup with the holes ON the reo.)

[mtopxsecret6]

mine fits, no problems at all... try it with out the reo.. i think you will find it will fit.

[R32Abuser]

ill give it a go, see how it fits. But dont want to run with it for that long like that. Would rather modify the reo again to get it to sit right.

[mtopxsecret6]

you have to shorten the reo's length if you want it to sit properly.. the secret is the mounting points at the indicators.. you have to mount the bar there first.. the "wrap" it to the car from there.. so to speak.. goodluck. they do fit.. you just need to know the sequence to putting it on.
