Someone managed to reverse into my parked car the other day and totalled my front bar. They didn't leave any details or anything so I'm going to have to pay for a new bar myself.

UAS wanted $480 to paint and fit their VeilSide copy bar ($695) so all up it would be $1175. This seems a bit expensive to me but I don't want to just get it done cheap as I'm a bit worried that I will end up with someone dodgy like last time.. cracks at the slightest touch and just doesn't quite fit properly.

Has anyone had any experience with UAS putting on a front bar or does anyone have any suggestions of good quality bars and places to put them on??

Without trying to alienate anyone, get a few quotes.

What is this 'fitting' stuff? I can fit one and I know nuzzing.

You just need the thing sprayed and the indicator lights added. There are four bolts that hold the front up.

Is this a trust,jun,waste copy? They look kinda good.

Pictures and details of Andrew's car (including his front bar) are at:

A guy I met in person a few weeks ago has a cousin that ownes Vision, so you may be able to work out something through him.

I think his alias/nick here is "Mac33T" or something similar. He too was wanting a veilside front bar.

EDIT:

I'm back again.

take a look at this recent thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=13281

Dont all aftermarket front bars crack easy as they are fibleglass and chip away to pieces? Is there anywhere where u can buy aftermarket plastic ones?

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
