andy panda Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 So the front bar on my r33 is a pretty unique aftermarket gtr style bar but it's in a bit of a shotty condition. I would like to neaten it up to some kind of former glory. Problem is that where the indicators go there's is a gap that should have plastic there like the gtrs so as to screen view to the underbody of the car. It looks hideous from a far and if it was a genuine bar I could just buy the inserts for the gtr but I'm pretty sure I can't. If I try and fabricate something myself I know it's going to look just as bad, so I was wondering if anybody knew any body works places in eastern melbourne that would specialize in that sorta thing? Also it needs a respray and if it'll cost more to restore than a good condition r33 s2 gtst front bar I'm not going to bother, so was wondering what prices people have paid for a decent respray job on a full front bar. I would have thought white wouldn't be too difficult to do.. I had no idea what to search for this so figured I'd ask.. Any help would be awesome. If u wanna see pics to see what I'm talkin about I'll upload something when I get home Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392389-plastic-fabricator-for-front-bar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR-033 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had the bittom lip of my old S2 bar plastic welded and painted, ended up being somthing like 250-300 for the welding and 250 for paint. Far from worth it i have now realised, as you can buy one for 300 in good condition. But if you are fond of the front bar and its not a regular that you see everyday, it might still be worth it to you.

ECR-033 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If your missing the indicator plastics gtr ones should fit. If there is a import shop in your area ask to try before you buy.

ECR-033 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Nahh i cut a hole out for it to go through. Only need to cut the corner, looks better then taking it out. Do you have a front mount on yours? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392389-plastic-fabricator-for-front-bar/#findComment-6244493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy panda Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I do but it's the return flow pipes to standard so they'd be set up differently to yours. My hot side connector only just shows thru the main gap. I'll try and take photos tonight Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392389-plastic-fabricator-for-front-bar/#findComment-6244515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
