Hey Al, i never got to check out your front bar properly after the tint day... after cutting the bumper support, have you noticed any structural stiffness reduction - ie do the ends bend more easily or does the front bar seem less rigid?

You should be able to use the cut out bit as a source of plastic for a plastic welder to patch them up again. I've never seen one patched up, the couple I have seen with the front section removed just have some ugly square holes left over.

Also, where do you put your plate after you do this? I hate plates that are off to one side, reminds me of a bus or army vehicle or something. I'm thinking it would look ok if suspended from the top section of the front (low profile plate only). It would still interrupt air flow a bit, but not nearly as much as the whole crosspiece does.

this is my front bar ,I had to lose the front bumper blinkers cause of the intercooler,so i wired the parkers up as blinkers and moded the headlamps to run parkers and headlights.The bumper was already damaged when i bought it(underneath) so i wasnt really fussed with spending money to plastic weld the gaps.So i just cut it out bigger so it didnt have any:)

Forgot to recheck this thread, sorry for the delay. Tonygtst why is MY pic (that i posted in another thread. months ago) of MY CAR labeled as 'ben_front"?????:D

Is side monted plates illegal, i have never been pulled up on it? I thought that if a bar does not have a dedicated spot (and mine now doesn't :)) that it is ok to mount on side as lonf as it is clearly visible.

Ronin 09: I personally have not seen/noticed a differance, as the support bars, that held the middle bar, are still there, on either side of the cut out.

I would think this mod is illegal, but may not be picked up as it looks factory. What mods are not legal now a days?

Ben has a maroon 33 as well and wants to do the sex conversions... his will look like yours soon LOL

I'm running around with an IC still behind the stock M-Spec bar.

Nah NSW cops are just being arseholes. Heaps of 'em gave me the "Alfa 156 is ok as it's stock, yours is not stock".

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
