Hello all, was wondering if anyone knows of any other alternative to fibreglass front bars. Before you have ask I have searched through these forums & the web quite intensely and have come up with squat! I was searching for poly urethane body kits, part, bumpers and came up with nothing. I'm over fibreglass because the paint never looks right, every little touch and bump makes it crack & they never really sit right IMO. I cant even find the price on factory GTR fronts....

Anyone heard of any other alternatives out there??

There was something in Hot4s a while ago, flexable plastic bodykits. It may have been G-something.com. G-force maybe? Not sure but try that. There was another post here about theat recently, may have been 2 weeks ago? Look back at the last few pages and you'd probebly find it.

I found that thread & I jumped onto ebay for the second time, there are a ton of guys who make urethane front bumpers but none for an R33 skyline.

Found that company G-force in sydney but all of there kits are fibreglass.... Does anyone know if a S2 front would fit onto a S1 without any issues?

How much did you pay for the plastic GTR front?? How much bending did you have to do?

they say that s2 dont fit, ive made gtr plastic fit gtst s1

due to it being plastic, got abit of heat into the bar and bent it enough to fit the gtst

im sure this could be done to a s2 bar

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
