Hey all,

Probably a simple one for you guys.. just wanted to know what's the easiest way to go about removing the front bar for a R34 GTT. I've seen the step by step article for the R33 and it looks different... but then i haven't tried so I don't know.

Can someone give me some pointers?

Cheers all,

Howie

Hey Howie,

Undo the splash guard under neath the front bar if there is one there and then there are two bolt on either side of the front bar in the guards.

One is where the guard meets the front bar and the other is about half way in between the first bolt and the headlight youy will have to feel with your hand if it is even there. If the bar has been taken off before it will most likely not be there as most people dont bother puttin gthe second bolt back.

I think that is it, if you have any issues let me knoe and i can probably come and give you a hand.

Cheers

I'm trying to remove my front bar at the moment and I can feel there's in between the guard and headlights. It's pretty tight for me to squeeze my hand in there to undo it.. any easier method I should take? Do i need to remove the splash guard completely?

Hey ducki, you can just see it here where i removed the bar.

I found it easier to remove the inner plastic guard, then full right lock it to remove the two drivers side bolts.. then full left lock to remove the two passenger side bolts. I used a long screw driver with an extension to help.

Also there's two plastic clips behind the numberplate and two screws on the grill you need to remove.

All the best.. and thanks to Evil34 for putting me on the right track in the first place mate.. here's what i ended up doing over the weekend.. fixing up an east bear lip (had to make a fiberglass mould from the bumper hence why it had to come off).

yeah.. hehe managed to removed my bar.. today too...

had to really shove my hands under the bumper to get the 2 last one out.

I didn't need to remove anything behind the no. plate.. think its different for me since its the standard bar but also thanks to Evil34 otherwise I wouldn't have known the bolts in the guards existed.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
