How Much Should I Pay For An R33 Gtr Series 3 Front Bar?

Hi,

I've recently purchased a car through an importer over in Japan, I'm very happy with my purchase excluding the 400R front bar that it has.

I've seen a few other after-market front bars and I don't really like any of them more than the 400R front bar and I'd prefer to have a stock front bar.

I'm just wondering how much a Series 2 or 3 front bar would cost? I've had a look on yahoo auctions as the car has not yet left the country and I've found one but the owner wants >$1000 for the bar, however the front bar is "brand new" according to the ad.

Any idea how much an R33 GTR front bar is worth?

This is for a white 1998 GTR.

Regards,

Gareth

P.S. searched but only found people trying to buy R33 GTR front bars.

You can buy the front b/bar skin from Nissan in Australia for about $600, all R33 GTR front bars are the same .

The front lip is the expensive one about $1000 for series I+II and a bit more for series III ( they are different).

Thanks wrxhoon, but are not the Series 1 and Series 2 bars different?

I assume that Series 3 is the same as Series 2 excluding the lower front lip?

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get one made up in fiberglass or another material (plastic-like)? (front bar or lower lip, I think it was ~$250 from unique auto sports for a fiberglass lower lip).

All 3 series GTR b/bars are the same, only the lower lip on the series III is different.

You can buy aftermarket all in one b/bar-lip f/glass but I wouldn't.

You can buy series III lower lip f/glass as well but they crack as soon as you hit them underneath.

      Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."

      You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....

      Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.

      Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
