R32 Gtr Trivia Question

[donutdavid]

Hi people, Can someone help answer the trivia on R32 GTR front bar?

How does some 32 GTR's have 2 cut out holes in the front bar and some don't?

Is it because "plain" GTR has flush fron bar and type m or V-Spec does have a cut out for cooling?

I think it's "N1" GTR is that has cooling holes.

Anyone please shed some light on this.

Cheers

Dave

The add on kit was homologated for Group A racing.

It consisted of the two cutouts, a small spolier on the front of the bonnet, larger side skirts, a small additional rear spoiler.

Correctly it belonged to the Nismo verson, built in 1990.

There is no M spec Gt-R.

V-Spec Gt-Rs are no different to the povvo pack one with regard to add on kits.

So V-Spec GTr has no cut outs in the bar?

Thanks for clearing this up.

only n1s had the cut out from factory. but on the street every second car has added them. Its easy to spot a genuine one since it came with cut outs in the bumper reinformcement bar. all the copies have had to cut the wholes out later

There is no M spec Gt-R.

except for some late model R34's

they came with leather interiors and less kidney-belt requiring suspension

they are N1 cut outs

Come like that from the factory as an option or u can do it u self!!

My '94 doesn't have the N1 front bar or the N1 ducts but does have the ducts cut out of the reinforcement bar.

Edit: Oh any my 89 has a factory N1 front bar but im guessing the reinforcement bar was cut out by the mechanic.

ahh very good point and I had forgotten all about it.

I've seen other ones like that before, I think at some point late in r32 series all reo bars got the cut out (ie same part# as n1). but they still have the normal front bar

[benm]

I'm guessing after the '93 V-Spec was released (which comes with the ducts factory I believe) they just made all reo bars with the cut outs.
