do genuine r33 front bars bolt up to the existing mounts of a r33 gtst or is there an amount of work to get it to fit?? i know that i would need to purchase gtr indicators and wire them up if i was to find one. But is there any modification required to fit the actual bar?

only reason i ask is that im looking for r33 bodyparts to fit my gtst, and since im not in a huge rush, im just looking about for genuine parts in the factory deep marine blue, so it matches up to my paint instead of paying the extra for spraying and fitting.

on that note, would anyone know of a place or person/s that would have gtr parts, or just r33 bodyparts in the factory deep marine blue (BN6 is the paint code) that i could source?

You can't use GTR front bars on a GTS-t's as the GTR is wider as far as im aware. Anyone who has a GTR style front on there GTS-t is a copy.

fair enoughski, might have to just look around for copy bars, that doesnt worry me at all, im just trying to save a bit of money and find some parts that match the colour of my car. im not really too interested in playing around with the reo or spending a lot of time mucking about getting one to fit, it all just gets a bit too costly for my peasant wages haha

on another note, does anyone know what kind of front bar is this?? i really want one

u cant just bolt up gtr front gaurds to your car, u would also need to buy new head lights and a gtr bonnet and also modify the bonnet latch.

and from what u said above about the factory paint, if you buy it new from nissan or who ever its not going to come in a factory colour, your still goin to have to get it sprayed

mate if you want the gtr look just go down the copy path and be done. If you buy a genuine GTR front... your going to have to mod it to fit... if you buy a copy... your going to have to mod it to fit, BUT its hella cheaper and with it no doubt being made of fiberglass it will be easy/cheap to repair if you make a mistake during the modification stage. (rather than finding someone who is willing to plastic weld that type of plastic)

In both cases they will no doubt need to be painted to match your car so no savings there.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
