I was under the impression that they were the same chassis so it would be just a bolt on situation.

Just like ive heard you can put an s13 front on a 180sx and vice versa (strawberry conversions)

Either way im not sure but since noone has replied i thought i'd state my opinion even though you are looking for fact, sorry man.

I've heard you need to get the factory gtr bars modded to fit onto Gtst's as they are a few mm's out of alignment, also maybe different mounting points?

Sorry I can't be of any further help, but it would be worth your while to ask around places like Unique Autosports as they specialise in nissans.

First of all it wont fit. You're better off buying a GTR style bar made to fit a GTS-t from someone like East Bear Sports in Japan.

Secondly, putting an S13 front on a 180SX IS NOT a Stawberry face conversion. Putting an S15 front end on any Silvia is a Strawberry Face Conversion. The name comes from the Japanese translation. In Japan, S15's are referred to as "ICHI GO". Now ICHI GO literally means ONE FIVE. However ICHIGO also means Strawberry. Hence why it's called a Strawberry Face Conversion.

You sure it was a GENUINE NISSAN GTR bar and not a remake to suit a GTS-t?? The East Bear ones look FLAWLESS. If you didn't know you'd never pick it.

Also you don't know how much the bar was modified to fit as well.

Looks can be decieving

if you have the front fenders, hood, bumper support bar and bumper off a GTR, then you can do a swap and it'll all bolt up with no problems and nasty gaps.

Probably cheaper to buy an east bear bumper to fit onto your standard mounting points though.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.

      The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.

      You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate

      I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.

      I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
