Who puts a GT-V front bar on a GTT?


Recommended Posts

So I've had this very confusing question in my head: What on all things that is holy is the front bumper on my GTT and why on earth is it sooooo different to other OEM bumpers? 

The biggest giveaway for me was the different indicators I had at the front. I've done some Googling today and figured out that it's actually a front bumper from a GT-V. After having a panic attack that I might have bought an NA thinking it was a turbo, then triple confirming it did have a turbo, I started wondering how I can get my hands on a proper GTT OEM front bar. 

 

But it also got me thinking, this GT-V bumper probably does not do my engine any good right? I've got the stock intercoolers but they are probably not getting decent air thanks to there being no vents!! It's got some small vents on the bottom of the bar but that's about it. Should I be worried about the amount of airflow coming onto the engine? 

Also, when I get the front bumper, I'm also going to have to buy the indicators to go along with them *Sigh*

You have a series 2.
That is a normal series 2 bumper.

It has that design for GT, GTV and GT-T trims.

The GT-T Series 2 bumper will have a vent on the passenger side, which is where the intercooler is mounted.

Here's a pic from your own thread.

If you want a S1 bumper, you will also need to buy the headlight support brackets as they are understandably different.

If you want to fit a front mount intercooler one day, PM ME because you need to cut up some brackets from the OEM reinforcement bar. I would love to have an unmolested reinforcement bar and you can have my pre-cut one :p

Oh yes!! 
Just put my chassis # in here and it does say series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-er34-vin-table.php


I actually feel less worried about the previous owner sniffing paint now. But honestly, this bumper makes it looks like a Mitsubishi Magna! Everything is nice and square until you get to the indicators 🥺

Could be worse. You could have an R33, which looks like a Magna was rear ended by a Maxima.

Don't fret. It's a four door. No one really cares what it looks like at the front and rear ends.

    • Thanks @GTSBoy - I will see if I can rotate it. The problem is that the cover hits the circular pillar that holds the 2 valves - so unless I pull the piece out, it might still hit it.   @Kinkstaah Yes I did take all the bolts off 🤣 When I first saw this cover, I thought to myself "Oh I have not seen this in any videos, but how smart!! It keeps any junk from going into the coilpacks" Pretty soon, I reverted my thought 😅 Worst case scenario, I'll take it down to a mechanic to have the spark plugs changed for me. But I will ask them to keep the old spark plugs around so I can ake some pics 
    • Oh I just meant the cloudly lens covers but if I can improve them in other ways I'm super keen! I know they're hard to separate though.  On a second note, I have a small and sharp clunk in the front drivers suspension. Everything in there is new (M3 control arms, new sway bar, sway bar end links & coilovers) except the tie rod ends. I'm wondering if a bad tie rod end ball joint will clunk? 
    • Something a little different.... Assembly videos of DeAgostini's 1/8 scale Fast & Furious BNR34 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Starting from issue 28 as the original intention was to obtain all 110 weekly issues then do a 'super cut' video. The boxes were taking up too much space so we start from #28:    
    • Hello. Was wondering if having a dash cam is allowed in the car while tracking it?
    • It is actually a bit dicky to slide out. I'm assuming you removed all the bolts on it :p It does require a certain angle to go in/come out. When you line it up right you will see it will just slide out. You may need to take off the coupler for the throttle body to get the clearance. You may need to remove the engine cover's bracket as well. There's a fair bit of angles and a bit of twisting to get it to slide out which I assume is the issue here.
