So last night i was driving along south road near the very end of the expressway (near old noarlunga) and a Koala decided to take his chances crossing the road while i was driving along, couldn't avoid it because there was quite a few cars around me at the time and he completely trashed my front bumper, he also didn't come out of it so well.

anyway, long story short, i have a stock front bumper that i need to grind around my intercooler and mount it, but i a) don't own an angle grinder and b) lack the confidence to fit it myself (call me lame :wave: )

anyway, long story short, would anyone be interested in doing some work for beers or something else we could agree on to give me a hand grinding the bumper back and mounting it? would be greatly appreciated as i cringe every time i look at my car atm :/

Live in the Southern Areas for reference

Hacking up your front bar to fit a intercooler in is highly defectable BUT since it's a aftermarket bar, you might get away with this if it's all cut neatly!

It's mostly when you see the TX3's with the hacked up standard front bar and a huge front mount hanging out of it is when they attract defect attention.

I'm in the Southern area, but I wouldn't have a clue about cutting front bars lol. Jack might have a clue? He's Jack88 on here - lives in the Southern area. Try PMing him!

oh, sorry let me re-phrase

it smashed through my aftermarket bumper, and i was going to mount a stock one but just cut around the guards at the bottom that would hit my intercooler so it fits. it's defectable, but im pretty sure no front bumper is just as defectable :(

any mod is a defectable area,although ive heard that as long as your intercooler is behind your bumper and doesnt protrude it is accepted by regency,as long as you only trim the bumper and dont cut any support rails etc. it works for my bumper and ive been ok with it,coppers look but leave me alone,may be the grey hair ha ha

I was driving around without front bumper 3 weeks while it was being fixed... was driving past cops without it 100 times.... even got pulled over one time and cops said nothing...  >_<

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
