Hi guys I need some help!

I bought a new top secret front bumper off ebay for my series 1 r33 skyline gts-s. Unfortunately I didnt get around to attempting to install it for a few months later and found that the bumper was the wrong size. I think it is about 6 inches too wide (didnt measure at the time). After realising this i tried to contact the seller to no avail even though he is still selling the same kit on ebay (mybodykits)

Anyway i know there are differences between GTR front bars and GTS-T front bars. As such do you think that this is a GTR front bar?? Or does anyone know the dimensions of both bars?

Atleast if I can confirm it is then I can try to sell it such that I don't throw $300 away.

Cheers

I checked out the seller's bumpers and I'd say the problem is due to the fact the bumper you purchased is made of fibreglass, which 9 out of 10 times wont bolt up perfectly like a FRP bumper would.

A GTS front bar should measure 175cm from mounting point to mounting point. From memory a GTR bar is 6 cm wider.

Just because it's wider than 175 doesn't always mean its a GTR bar though, it could just be a poor mould or stretched due to heat or catalyst composition.

    • Thanks mate 👍 The car was brought into the UK by a USAF mechanic until he was stationed back to the US, one owner later I bought her back in 2009. Luckily the only corrosion was on the sill seams, so once taken back to metal and treated and sealed all ok, I then undersealed the car myself and check yearly and treat any corrosion which to be honest is zero. She's garaged most of the time and hardly ever driven in the rain, but as you say most are rotten unfortunately, I was lucky in finding her as she was and still is in excellent condition.  
    • Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.
    • not a date code? or a foundry code? 
    • I have up to date pics of the engine build and turbo conversion over on my instagram @skpro_jects if you want to take a deeper look.   Basically the exhaust manifold is straight bolt on and the ports match (they arent any smaller than a 25 or 26 head).    the intake ports are different shape so the 20/25det manifold will bolt up but wont match properly or seal. You will need to port match using the 25det gasket as a stencil. Personally i ran the entire stock 20neo intake setup and have configured the swirl valves and torque valve to work based on my custom parameters to help with off boost response and spool. But this is using a standalone aem v2 ecu. The stock 20det ecu wont be able to control them.     
    • Hi. a little later but if the topic is here. So...the exhaust is the same and you can use 25/Turbo or any aftermarket? What about intake side? Is it too "plug n play" or? (i do not remember for 100% but i think that one intake to head gasket was little bit different than on the RB25 - i bought gasket kit way back) I know that even if it "plug" those butterfly swirls would cause ECU to be confused or?   Just asking for the info 🙂 and of course the RB25 things are easier to come by
