sweet..thanx heap ant.. I'm really miffed i gotta pay for a new one.. but if i can get it this weekend, get it to Palm, *might* have my car back before the end of the year (note the sarcasm)

I already got the supports and things cut for the GTR bar so hopefully I can just use that again.

yeah, i ordered some supra pods a few months ago, it took them about 2 weeks, after that long wait the guy goes to me that he ordered R33 ones instead, and that i had to go all the way down there and put a deposit on them on another order which will take at least another week. after that never again

and another time before this incident i bought a set of rear pods for a 180sx the guy gave me the left hand side which was a damaged repaired one that didn't even come close to fitting on the car (you could see a crack in it and its been plastic welded)and was trying to convince me that the mold is never perfect and that the panel beater where i get it painted will fix it up.

ok.. suborn bad then :D

I ended up buying a 400R bar mainly due to lack of choice. Jetspeed has reasonable prices. Only problem is their range for GTS-T's. Most of the stuff seems to be for GTR, and requires modifications for the R33 GTS-T... that involves extra time and $ them stuffing around to get it to fit. Unless you're willing to wait a few weeks getting one, obtaining a front bar isn't as easy as it might sound :-|

Otherwise its ship from Sydney or elsewhere and pay ~$600 for a bar, and then maybe $100 getting it shipped to melbourne. Ends up being pretty expensive in the end.

So for the record guys, be careful with your front bars, as major cracks will probably mean you need a whole new bar :D its not cheap.

btw: evo-r doesn't have bodykits as i found out.

Jetspeed had a similar kit to that Suborn one, i forget what they called it.. but when i saw it on a skyline they had there it didn't look heaps different to the stock. Seeing as i am on tightass and "get whatever i can get straight away" timeframe, I bought the 400R so that is what is going on.. when i get the car back i'll post some pix of how it all looks. Will look a little like this, except my grill will make it all look better :D

To be honest I'd just keep bar i had but it woulda taken too much effort to get it to useable state. And all these other bars require mucking around with to get them to fit (so add $200 just to the basic bar price). Basically if you don't have time (and i don't), get something simple :D or even better, if you don't want problems - stick with the current bar. Low as bars are fine for show cars that never get driven, but for a car you drive every day, something *always* happens fo fark them up...

Palm is 242 Centre-Dandenong Rd, Cheltenham.. 9583 4710 but leave 'em alone Dan, coz i want my car finished first..they got too many in there already :(

i like the stock bars better than the 400R i think its a bit much for me...

hehe gords... Go Dan take it down asap!! lol actually i reckon mine will be ready before yours gordo :D he said to come back during the week as they were only waiting on one of the guys to finish the guards (paint stripped and slight repair as i used the wrong filler when i fixed it rofl.) everything else is ready for paint....

oh also i really need to get some mesh (not that fine crap ppl use for hiding the fact the car has no FMIC) the thicker harder stuff with the larger holes u could almost poke a hole thru.

anyone know where i can get some... autobarn had crap and repco had none... need some b4 the bar goes back on.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
