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.

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
