Hey guys, for my Extension Studies class I am studying on fibreglassing!!

All I need is some research of fibreglass front bars.. So I thought I'd have a research of the ones in Adelaide. If your nice enough post up a photo of your front bar if its made out of fibreglass!!!

Thanks!!

Here is my brand spanking new GTR style front bar. It was white, so I sprayed it with some cheap matte black spray can paint for now and trial fitted it. Indicators are not fitted. Bonnet lip and eyelids are not yet painted or fitted either. But you get the idea.

Andrew the new bar looks great, but you are going to have give the intercooler a pollish LOL

thanks guys.

Yeah Guy I will have to polish the intercooler - am probably going to paint the top of the intercooler and mounting brackets black, and the top of the oil cooler as well. Might find some R34 style black mesh and put it back there too.

Pete - yeah the fit is not perfect, but I just quickly trial fitted the bar the this stage, so will massage it a bit more and make it fit better when I take it off to paint it. Hopefully I have a vented real carbon fibre bonnet and boot to come shortly that will complete the look (speaking to a source in China as we speak). Then I have to decide whether to respray the car Obsidian Black again, or go Midnight Purple (which was my original intent). Unfortunately Midnight Purple 3 (the harlequin colour that came on R34GTRs) costs $1k a litre and I would need just under 3 litres to paint the car, so it would double my repainting cost - so might go with Midnight Purple 1 of R33GTR fame.

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
