:P

Yeah, having no bar is a bigger reason for a defect than a damaged bar. Leave it on. :thumbsup:

your front bar looks perfect in your avatar :thumbsup:

Yeah it does, I can see the damage and on the right side there a big crack by the near the tyre and the whole bar is pretty flimsy.

True. They'll argue: no fixed location for the plate, sharp edges exposed, etc etc, and if you've hacked your reo bar for a fmic you'll be in strife.

i got around for 2 weeks with no front bar, untill it was repaired and replaced, passed cops on the road had no problems,

Got the new front bar on and still havent put the front number plate on and its almost been 2 months now..

If u can cover your arse well enough ull get off. I always push my luck tho. untill they pull me up ill leave it. looks better without it.

And if they do and ask where it is ill say. just picked my car up from the painters and here is the plate. ta dar... and the braket... on my way home to install it now constable :-)

Just depends on where ya live as well too i guess

yea just on that, ive never heard or seen anyone been book before for not having a front bar, there are even alot getting around town at the moment,

i think it must be that time of year that most skyline owners around here are getting front bars fixed or replaced lol

dont do it mate

its not worth taking the risk

just drive with caution with your cracked front bar

the equation is:

cracked from bar = good chance of not being defected

no front bar = asking for a defect

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
