R33 Gts-T Spec Ii: What Front Bumper Is This ?

[Mr.Vain]

Hey there,

Since I own my R33 it has this rare front bumper and I would like to know what type/brand this bumper is ? On the Dutch and UK forums nobody has a clue, so now im trying here

Also if anyone has fitted this bumper with a FMIC, was it a easy job ? As this bumper is pretty small on the downside I'm afraid it's very hard to fit a FMIC.

Are you sure about this ? This bumper doenst have fog lights, while there is a option to turn them on in my interior.

Also my car is not a 40th Anniverary Edition and I never saw one with this bumper

This.

Is it a 1998 model?

[Miguelone]

It's a 40th Anni bumper, doesn't mean your car was built with it.

[AAARGH 33]

As Doobs said, I think there were some 98' models that came out with this as a factory option.

[Mr.Vain]

Yes my car is from 1998. Though the most of the 40th anniversery editions are with the normal Spec 2 front bumper.

[chiksluvit]

its a gts25t type-MR, comes with the bumper and GTR wing standard with this model

there was a thread about this somewhere

not 40th anniversary

Whatever it is, it looks pretty awesome, probably the best R33 front bar I've seen...

[Mr.Vain]

Yeah its a nice bumper. The only downside is that the licenseplate bracket is placed very bad and doenst look good when you stand in front. Also fitting a FMIC is pretty hard as the bumper is small on the bottom.

Besides that its great !

[AAARGH 33]

Well if you can't fit a FMIC in there,a R34 side mount is a decent upgrade

[Mr.Vain]

Well I just ordered a FMIC so I will know if it fits in a few days Is R34 side mount really better dan the stock R33 ?

[AAARGH 33]

Yeah, its slightly bigger in size. Stock R33 SMIC tends to get heat soaked faster.

[Charles89]

Why don't you drill 2 holes into the bottom of your number plate, then mount it? So that it sits higher?

[AAARGH 33]

Maybe a Cusco number plate re locator even? But then agian, that would be sacrilege drilling holes in such a unique bumper

[ECR-033]

just bought myself a new front bar and finished cutting it up for the front mount. Didnt come out too bad but i wish i didnt need to cut away at the indicator mounts.

rego plate will be going higher within the next few days.

[Mr.Vain]

Wow man, I think the result is awesome !

About the indicators I think I could live with that It actually looks kinda cool !

I think I will show this photos to the guy who is going to fit the intercooler, maybe it gives him some ideas

Can you also take a picture when you have the rego plate higher mounted ? You also going to cut away the existing mounting place for the rego plate ?

Too bad i'm like the only one in the Netherlands with this front bar

[ECR-033]

Yeh im not unhappy with the result, but would of liked it better if the pipe was not visible.

ill get some brakets for the rego tomorrow maybe and take some snaps. As for the mount below i wasnt planning on cutting it off but i will probably change my mind.

[ECR-033]

Just got my front bar painted.

Wasn't too keen on being able to see the intercooler pipes, but I dont mind them now that its all together. Next on the list is some clear indicators.

[HEKT1K]

Dude your headlights are amazing... i'm jelly

maybe spray your cooler pipes black?
