I don't know if there is a 400R front spoiler but I do know that there is a 400R front bar.... for an unpainted one, that sounds about the right price. Just make sure that you getthe one that suits your car, I bought one for mine and got it painted and all, then when I tried to put it on, it didn't fit because it was made for an R33 Series 1 and I have an R33 Series 2. Now I'm stuck with it, and will probably have to go back to the paint shop to get the bar seriously modified :)

Did you check the material on that $800 one? If the material are pretty strong and thick then you got a good quality one. Some cheaper copies are way too thin, make sure the $400 one is not made of the thinner material that will flap around and crack at the slightest bump.

hey NO_RSPECT,

the bummer thing about it is that I got it painted before I fitted it, don't know what I was thinking.....did they juts chop the whole top lip off and remould it to fit the SII?I was just thinking of doing it with some filler, it's just the lights that annoy me cos they don't line up, they look pointy compared to the rest of the bar.... have you got any pics of it? can you email it to me at r33_sidewayz@yahoo.com.au

any help would be much appreciated. :D

cheers mate...

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
