as above, is it possible to modify an original GTR front bar to suit a GTST? (R33 in this example).. How is this done? Reason being i am sick of the cheapo fibreglass cracking non-stop, just want to get it done properly..

Any pics?? Ta

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.

      Dry sump? Is that like where you don't put oil in, and leave the car parked in the garage because it's worth so much now and is like a beautiful museum piece? 😛

      Nissan Fuga Y50 2009 VQ35HR 313 hp / 230 kW RWD Also sold as Infiniti M overseas. Performance sedan built on the same chassis as Skyline V36 or Infiniti FX. Great colour with a fantastic velour interior. Very quiet and fast car (<6s 0-100), but can also be very economical for performance (long-term average consumption 11/100 km) I imported it five years ago, and it was well looked after. It has a full service history and a balance of ACT rego. There are no finance or PPSR issues with the car. Has all the features you'd expect from a luxury car. ABS brakes Stability control Traction control Dual-zone climate control Power and memory front seats and steering column Power passenger ottoman Smart key access Push button start 2 parking cameras Steering wheel audio controls Adaptive radar cruise control AFS aiming headlights Xenon HID headlights Security system Original Nissan remote start system Two original keys Dual-channel dashcam Blackvue 750 with PowerMagicPro for battery-aware parking recording Regularly serviced with a lot of major items done: Full new original Nissan suspension shocks throughout Performance CSF radiator Recent tyres, less than 10k on them New drive belt New bonnet struts Brakes recently done The car comes with a fully converted AV system with Australian GPS maps, DVD, and radio ($2k job). I really love this car, but I have too many cars and too many Nissans in the family, so unfortunately, I need to sell it. Priced at $18500 The car can be seen in Curtin. Thank you for your attention.

      Here are a few photos.  The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell...  It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it.  I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.

      I can be grumpy!  After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again.  While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction.  The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative.  I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!

      Did you calibrate the throttle in the Haltech? It might be falling in and out of the closed loop strategy, especially if the car has been tuned on different TPS voltages.
