Dolphin front bar $912 plus shipping, taxes and charges. Maximum flow

Just too bad if you want to actually lower your car, that bar is huge!

Also a shame that dolphin uses fibreglass, fibreglass is ewww

One of the guys near me has a takero front bar and had to cut off the bottom of it and refibreglass it as it was so low. Aero is lyfe

Just go takeros lip on aero bar. Just adds little wing things to side to tie in with side skirts

My engine temps did not change from running the stock tiny intercooler to running an HDi kit.

Scotty's cooling mod, and a larger capacity radiator will improve the cooling system's ability to shed heat.

IMO; the OEM (quite noisy I agree) is far superior to thermo fans for heat management.

I've run a number of different setups using high capacity fans, and custom made shrouds to ensure efficiency, and nothing works better than the stock Clutch fan.

I did notice an improvement in cooling system performance when I changed from the stock "smiley face" front bar to the Aero Kit front bar.

i can't accurately compare the water temp between stock and HDi due to the outside temp and traffic condition may different.

for the cooling system, i have nismo thermostat, full alloy radiator, breath tank, Motul Mocool, just missing scotty's mod. i agree scotty's mod could stabilise water temp, but less effect when stuck in traffic on hot day? it is all good if my car is running above 30-40km/h all hot day, just problem when stop on idle, especially when aircon is on. if i go hardly even though at very low driving speed, then water temp will go down a bit. it seems the stock noisy fan or waterpump can't flow enough air/water when idle.

Scotty's cooling mod lowers temps across the board, and allows cooling system to rapidly drop temp after any kind of load related cooling temp increase.

If you did nothing else to the cooling system; this mod would be the one I'd do first.

This will be one of my next mods. I need to do a cooling overhall with alloy radiatior and cooling mod etc

Talk to Scotty about the radiator; he now uses an OEM style replacement (alloy core/plastic tank) uprated core that is much easier to fit than the off the shelf all alloy units.

The Nismo front bar is 11ty billion times better looking than that abortion.

Shame about the head in the car... ;)

I think the Dolphin front bar is priced 300% what it should be and it's actually quite ugly if you look close at it.

Heaps of hard edges, brake ducts way too big, exposing too much, hence the sign in the pic.

Looks tough but lacks sex.

Nismo kit beats it hands down.

For me the Axis Autech looks the best.

I really dig the bling of the Axis chrome grille.

It just brings that elegance this car deserves..

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
