hi all.. I"ve been having some issues with my r33 gtr front bumper, got a new one, a series 3, looks damn nice.

ive mounted the bar up, and bolted the back screw of the bumper the screws into the guard, that one is small and easy.

Im not sure how to bolt this next part up, its a part on the side of the guards, and its the closest bolt to the front sdie of the headlight. its like a 1cm sclip of some type that goes throw the larger hole on the side bumper guard area. Does anyone know how this clips on or bolts up?, ive never seen a clip thing like this.

I have a red circle around the area.

also, my bumper did not have holes to bolt or clip into the reo bar, the part were the grill is.. i have circled these holes on a bumper picture i found on the internet. are these originaly there from factory?,, if so, i should make holes i guess... thanx a heap if some could lend me a hand, i dont want my bar following of sometime :D..

hi, yeah, grill is out, and just the bumper is mounted up. i just cant figure what type of clip or screw goes in this side front connection, it comes of the guard into the larger hole on the bumper.. i have the grill holes for the grill at the back of the reo, and i do have 3 smaller holes down for that, but the bar doesent reach them, and i have no holes on the front top of my bumper to mount onto reo. just feels un safe.. thanx

it should be the same as a gtst.

Generally its a 10mm bolt with a phillips head on it. where it screws/bolts into there should be a plastic insert for the thread to grip

how about an actual picture of what your talking about rather than one you cant actually make out what your looking at :(

Edited by gotRICE?

true.. thanx for the advice.. ill jusdt wait a couple of days until i pull the bar off again and i will take pictures.. i was wanting to know so i could finished the bolts off without taking apart, putting together, then apart when i find out :D.. thanx.. see whati can do :)

found a picture on a r34 diy of how to remove the bar..

its the blue circle.. its a dark clip and hard to see.. mines the same but in white.. wanting to know what goes on this clip once it pokes through the bumper hole

thanx so much.. i was think it might be a screw with a larger head.. because it needs to somehow keep this clip through the biggest hole on the bumper from coming out.. thanx again.. ill try a 10mm and see how it goers :P.. thanx 4 your time hey

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
