I went ahead with the Type R front bar from Viva Garage.. And im pretty happy with how it came up so far.. I have had the bar pre fitted befor painting and have attached some photos..

The only problem is the bonnet lip does not sit flush onto my Z-tune carbon bonnet so Im not sure how im going to make it fit.. Still working on it.

And also it doesnt quite fit flush with the bottom of the headlight on the drivers side. It sits in about 10mm but the other side is ok. As u can see from the angle of the first photo.. But is really only noticeable from the right angle.

Will post some more photos when 100% complete. This is also the first time iv posted photos so not sure if this is the right way hahaha

It probably wont work with a lip because that bonnet wasn't designed to be used with a bonnet lip (top mole), those are just for when you use a gtr bonnet and a gtt front bar, the gtt front bars are chopped flat where it meets the bonnet where the gtr front bars have that extra 'lip' at the top as the gtr bonnets don't curve downward at the front.

If that makes any sense (makes sense in my head, maybe not in words though.)

Oh yeah, i know what you are talking about, so i assume you suggested it more to mask the fact that the bonnet doesn't sit flush with the bumper rather than as a fix per say lol.

I actually considered getting a carbon one, but i don't know, i wasn't 100% sold on the look

Haha yeah that made perfect sense but I don't mean the top mole that's used with GTR bonnet and gtt bumper. I meant the bonnet lips that attach to the front of the gtt bonnet, like the one I use to have

You mean like the one i have? Will it work with that front bar -

Yes I think it makes sense.. It's a bit confusing.. The bar came with a bonnet lip but I'm assuming it's made to fit a standard gtt bonnet.. Maybe the z tune carbon one is a little difference shaped at the front.. I'm not sure

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the same lip that the bar came with.. It just doesn't quite fit right.. I suppose ya can't expect much when your only paying that price.. Il work somethin out..

Mine isn't a perfect fit... But close enough :thumbsup: You cant notice unless you are up close to the bonnet.....

Hey guys,

I'm also interested in buying this front bar from viva, however I'm not too sold on the bonnet lip from the photo's i see from the first page of this thread lol.

I have a black gtt, so hoping it would look good with this front bar. Shinobi, when you said to shave off some of the pillar things to make it line up with the bonnet, how would go about doing that? Just for future reference if i end up going with this bar lol.

Thanks!

Looks good from the front, how does it line up with your side skirts etc from the side?

<p>It sits heaps lower than the rest of the car.. It also sticks out more..  I would recommend getting somethin that flares out abit like the impul skirts to match up better but i bought the Z-tune style ones a while back and am outta cash to change my mind about it -.-</p>

    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
