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>

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
