Need Opinions On Front Bar Asap.

[045HOW]

Hello Mentlegen.

So some idiot reversed into my front bar and tried to leg it last week but i got their numberplate as they drove off. So now insurance is sorting out a replacement.

My car is an Impul R33-R and the front bar was a 400R.

I no longer want the 400R style(Nor GTR-DOLUCK or TOP SECRET) as id like to go closer to Impul style so i have come up with 2 options: BN and M-Sports.

Here is what the original front bar looks like for an Impul:

BN:

M-Sports:

I have to decide by tomorrow and my thinking is that i would like the BN because it doesn't hang out as far as the M-sports(Being a beneficial trait for any R33 whether it be on Coilovers or not ) and has what looks to be twice the size inter-cooler mouth. But then there is the fact that the M-Sports bar has a closer style to the Impul with the size of its mouths and such.

So yeah i think i like the look of the BN better and i believe it would be a tad easier to maneuver because it doesn't hang out as far as the M-Sports would

But like you know, Whatever... ive mostly made my mind up but i just thought id see what you guys think and maybe hear some points i havent thought of yet.

Cheers guys.

Have a good one

Hi mate, I love my genuine Series 3 GTR front bar on my GTR so can't really say that I'm a big fan of the Impul or M-Sports style front bars on the R33. However, if I were to choose in your situation, I would personally go for the BN style as the bottom lip compliments your Impul-style sideskirts and rear bar. It looks proportional and have a similar taste to it to complete the look.

Hope that helps you decide.

Much appreciated!

Is your GTR a Series 3? Loving the best 5 speed and projector headlights?

Personally, id go with a factory Impul, but, if i were in your situation and wanted to go aftermarket, then im rather partial towards the M-Sports, but the BN looks alot more flowing, so long as you put the indicators/foggies in the side gaps like the factory Impul.

Yeah definitely want an Impul bar but this is a free choice so i have to take what i can get.

Cheers man!

No worries mate. I got a series 1 actually but recently bought a genuine series 3 front bar from someone. No projector headlights.

Definitely go BN Sports mate. Just looks more flush and seamless.

Found this image showing use of 400R indicators:

Like it?

Any other ideas for indicator location?
