who has a 400r rear bar on there r33

[R33-JET]

i just put on 400r rear bar on my car

and noticed there is a bit of a gap between the body (under lights and skyline logo panel) and the top of the boykit

i put the stock bar back on and there isnt as much as the 400r bar

anyone got any pics of there 400r bars or have noticed this

any help will be great

also with this bar the rego plates dont fit

wat u guys do to get it to fit besides bending them

[T0nyGTSt]

Bending or cutting license plates is normal on skylines.

Obviously some copy bars are not as good as the OEM stuff.

correct me if i'm wrong but there is no such thing as an oem 400r kit for a gtst??

[walkoau]

yes i have a 400R front bar on mine. i also noticed the gap is slightly bigger between the bar and the head lights , but no one else has noticed yet.

you dont have to bend or cut your plates just use the middle holes of the plate and put in washers or some sort of spacer between the plate and the bar.

100% correct.

The 400r was a 99 car limited edition 33 GT-R w/ stroked 2.8 litre 400hp motor. Nismo never licensed this kit.

By definition they are all copies (but so what, it's a coolio kit!).

here is a pic of mine(shit old pic, after my mesh fell out) fix now but.

[T0nyGTSt]

Lemme guess...

CYA-L8R?

That's a pretty high looking 400r bar. Could be an photo illusion though.

T.

[walkoau]

no its not cyal8r.

guess again.

i recon the bar is too dam low. i wish i had of got a 2 piece one so i could take the bottom piece off. to late now but.

i have 18s on the car but it may seem high cause i havent lowered it yet. still stock suspension.

I think most of you have seen this:

One piece bar. 17" rims. Lowered HKS susp.

It is too damn low.

This explains why yours looks 'high' and mine looks low.

shouldn't the question be: "Who doesn't have an 400R bar on their R33" ???

[T0nyGTSt]

It's my impression that the 400r bar + skirts are all rather conservative looking.

The skirts have some vent holes that do fark all and the rear bar is just a bit heavier set so it matches a big exhaust better.

It's only the front bar that looks a little loony.

You can get unpainted 400r bits much much cheaper than at UAS elsewhere...

your right only the front 400r bar looks loney, rest of the kit is pretty ordinary thats why im trying to chase up impul side skirts and rear bar for mine (i think the impul kit looks more aggresive.

p.s when are you going to give them trailer blinkers the flick? or atleast change them to clear one like mine..lol

Merli
