hey fellow qlds

i have been searching the for sale forums and its becoming a pain in the ass.

i just bought a front mount and i now need a different front bar, as i only have the series one stocker and i dont want to cut it up, so theres not gona be much air getting to the cooler!

also, most bars forsale are like is sydney or even further, so its been a struggle trying to get one, also, alot of people advertise then never view their own bloody adds, so it makes things really effeicient.......... :bs!:

so i thought i might direct attention to the queensland section hopeing that sumone might have or know of an aftermarket front bar i could purchase for my r33.

i was chasing a gtr bar, but im open to suggestions?

if i cant find anything than i suppose i will have to go buy a new one:)

i will sell the stocker if anyone needs it aswell

thanks for the help guys, well see how this works!

AFAIK the MSpec front bars are starting to become rare because people keep cutting it up ( :Oops: ) and they are becoming harder and harder to find.

Also, GTR bars dont just fit straight onto GTS-t's as we saw a spray painter figure out. They need some slight/heavy work to make them fit.

Maybe just try some local spray painters that might have one. Or the wreckers... I know people talk about RMA a lot?

hey how much would it cost to get a front bar painted? i dont want some awsome job as the paint on the rest of the car is shit anyway, so i just want id done good enough untill i get a respray?

any places on gold coast i should go to?

rod they wont do a crappy job on the paint even if you ask them too. um i think painted and fitted they were charging around $850? please dont quote me on this because i only got the price for a full kit. the only place that i know down at the coast is Fabtech but is prolly more, you may have to ask a coastie.

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
