amen to plastic bars! What could you pick up an OEM gtr bar for? I'm sure there's someone here that can tell us for sure whether it would fit or not... there might be enough give to get away with it. how about OEM 400r bar :bananaman :hearts: :headbang: We can but dream :D

There are a few japanese body kit makers that manufacture kits in ABS plastic and are as forgiviing as the original plastic bumpers.

To locate them go out and buy the latest option magazine, or hyper rev magazine and u should be able to locate them.

Cost is usually in the region of 1.8k i tink (excluding freight and taxes)

not sure who makes it but i saw a add in either ralph. autosalon or something similar a while back, about plastic bars, that can bend and contort, and not get damaged, they had a bar being fully twisted and it went back into place perfectly, i think they were expensive though, around 3k if i remember.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
