Hi all,

Just wondering if someone can fill me in on the different types of front bars that seem to be around on R34 GTRs... I have seen this type which I guess is the standard type with no openings on the sides:

Also this type with a single opening/slot - is it Nismo?

And this type with two slots:

Do all GTRs come with the first type from factory or is there a difference with V Spec/NUR/Nismo editions?

There's a lot of BNR34 front bars that's for sure!

First one in your pic is the standard oem Nissan plastic front bar. Next one down the the Nismo Z tune front bar which is the most expensive option, although you don't need the lower front lip with that bar. Third bar is standard with aftermarket front and side ducts. It's not a Nismo bar.

This is a Nismo front bar, before the Z tune bar was released.

I don't know the exact price but there was a used z tune bar that was sold for about a grand in yahoo and it needed to be repaired. There's also a full dry carbon version you can buy but most people would cringe if they found out the price. Imo the best bar is the oem plastic one. It has flexibility as well as perfect fitment. Add those front and side ducts and would be perfect.

Does anyone know where I can get these front side ducts to mod the standard R34 front bar?

I know Aaron from ImportMonster had a complete front bar with the oil cooler vents. Contact him and see if he still has it.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
