Fully Sick Of My Front Bar..!


Recommended Posts

went for a drive tonight and my front bar hit the ground about 20 times in a hour of driving. so i have 2 options raise the car or change the bar...! Since im happy with the height the bar has to go... Its a trust style front bar or tr style as jetspeep like to call it. Its the foul orange bar on their site. It really looks wrong in orange they should change the picture and it might sell more...

I have been looking at some other bars but looking is no use as they all look low. So if anyone knows of a nice looking aftermarket front bar that its ride height lines up with gtr skirts or a bit lower... the help would be really apreciated..

thanks

get a stock series 1 mspec bar then, as in my sig, well the centre has been chopped out. You could also do it if u wanted to. Doesnt look too bad, altho mine still scrapes every now and then

you cant get rid of that bar!

its not that bad, just avoid the bumps

ohh it is that bad...! went for a mountain climb last night and couldn't even do the speed limit. bar went crunch on every dip and turn in the road. I have fully had enough.. its like driving a eggshell..

Plus Im going down the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks with some mates and wanna have to think about my front bar cracking under the pressure.

So if anyone wants to trade a black front bar pm me with a pic all bars considered. can i post this here if not tell me and i will edit it...

Thanks.

Coupe-This: You have done half a job, get the cut-outs plastic welded, that way it doesn't look like a hack job :D (no offense intended :D )

Mook1: Saw your car crossing Toorak Rd, in Toorak, last week (i was in my work ute). Was happy to see Nathan's old car still looking sweet.

thats correct Dez.

when noof and i went down the GOR i think maybe 10-15 times it made scraping, but that was hard cornering and un-seen bumps.

i didnt think it was that bad  :D

? what do you mean thats correct dez?

what did i say?

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
