R34 Type R Front Bar


Recommended Posts

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

I just got my shit painted too, I'll upload some photos if you wanna see

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>

    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
    • Yeah, so try to post images with extensions that the internet can handle, not HEIC files which only arstyphones can handle.
    • I have two questions here, The first is regarding the harness attached to the power window and central locking control on the drivers door. I can't understand why the previous owner would join these wires together on the harness and why they did such a shit job. There was a wire with 10v hanging in the open un insulated. The OEM remote control works just fine The second is regarding the blue, green wire attached to what I believe is the lock actuator? These were running to the old immobiliser connected to the 'UNLOCK - COM' and 'LOCK - COM' wires. I imagine COM means communication and they just send a signal to the immobiliser whether the car is locked/unlocked?  IMG_9032.HEIC IMG_9037.HEIC IMG_9038.HEIC IMG_9041.HEIC
