Front Bar For Gts-4

[skyhighR33]

hi guys just wondering i am going thru with the turboing of the car and was wondering if i need to fit a new bar to the car or can i use the existing one. and does the reo bar need to be changed. oww and do i need to get it re complianced under a turbo car???. i talked to the blokes at jis and am getting most the kit cheap, if it cant be done properly it might be time to buy that gtr that looked great in the sunlight, cheers in advance michael.

why do you need to change the front bar and re-compliance you haven't swapped engines if its complied already then leave it if not don't put turbo on wait till its complied

you wont need a new front bar just because you got a turbo installed

but you will want to think about

5stud conversion - for larger choise of rims

GTSt brake conversion - for better stopping

thanx have thought bout the brakes and they will be getting put on. i thought you would need to notify the transport company and get it changed to a turbo car as it came out non turbo.

na just make sure its all done good if you ever get pull over only have factory blow off valve make sure POD filter is very secure make it LOOK stock standard and its all good 90% of skylines are turbo (well maybe not that high but very high) so if you do get pulled over chances are they wont know your model isnt

also turbo or not you pay the same for registration

You will have a LOT of trouble insuring a non-turbo car that has been turbo'd. And you have massive costs including injectors, ECU, wiring loom etc etc. Just not worth the effort. Sell it, and buy a Gtst.

mine is insured no probs Andrew (till it comes to accident time) but on my policy its stated as a GTS4 nonturbo modified with a turbo

Who are you with Steve?

Yeah I guess if it states it on the insurance form then they have no come-back against you.

I would suggest you are with the only insurer who will do it, as I know most won't touch such a car. Until very recently you had ordinary non-turbo brakes and discs trying to stop a high-powered turbo car .... not sure I would like to be insuring you when that was the case

[Madaz]

im with Famous and was with Just Cars Prior both were insurerd as GST4 na modified with turbo

yeah about the brakes that's why i didn't go too full on in the hills i had brake fade on 2 occasions and its not nice

+1 for selling up and buying a gts-t, will save you soooooooooooooooooooo much hassle.

[skyhighR33]

hmmm why stop at a gtst then might as well sell up and get a r32 gtr since they are becoming so cheap.

cheers... michael
