Hey there,

Since I own my R33 it has this rare front bumper and I would like to know what type/brand this bumper is ? On the Dutch and UK forums nobody has a clue, so now im trying here :)

Also if anyone has fitted this bumper with a FMIC, was it a easy job ? As this bumper is pretty small on the downside I'm afraid it's very hard to fit a FMIC.

Yeah its a nice bumper. The only downside is that the licenseplate bracket is placed very bad and doenst look good when you stand in front. Also fitting a FMIC is pretty hard as the bumper is small on the bottom.

Besides that its great !

just bought myself a new front bar and finished cutting it up for the front mount. Didnt come out too bad but i wish i didnt need to cut away at the indicator mounts.

rego plate will be going higher within the next few days.

Wow man, I think the result is awesome !

About the indicators I think I could live with that :) It actually looks kinda cool !

I think I will show this photos to the guy who is going to fit the intercooler, maybe it gives him some ideas :)

Can you also take a picture when you have the rego plate higher mounted ? You also going to cut away the existing mounting place for the rego plate ?

Too bad i'm like the only one in the Netherlands with this front bar :)

Yeh im not unhappy with the result, but would of liked it better if the pipe was not visible.

ill get some brakets for the rego tomorrow maybe and take some snaps. As for the mount below i wasnt planning on cutting it off but i will probably change my mind.

Just got my front bar painted.

Wasn't too keen on being able to see the intercooler pipes, but I dont mind them now that its all together. Next on the list is some clear indicators.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
