i had a look to find if there was a front bar removal guide on here and to my surprise there wasn't so i took some pics when i had removed my bar and thought others might want to know how so here it is :rofl:

first remove the grill by using the 2 clips on each side that attach it to the front bar

then remove the plastic clips that hold the bar to the front re-enforcement bar.

then remove the screws/blots that are on the sides of the bar. to get to these pull the plastic guard back from under the wheel arch.

remove the blinkers from the bar

then remove the screws from under the bar that is attached to the undertray plastic of the car.

we then remove the parker lights . these come off by undoing the screw that is on the top ofparker light then insert flat head screwdriver under and lever directly straight forward.

then you will see a small bolt on the side that goes through the bumper remove this.

then once this is all done your front bar should come straight off...

yep, pretty much exactly the same. you'll be able to tell if you've missed something.. the front bar won't come off! :)

well thank you captian obvious...lol

I just thought it might be different since the high beams are in the grill instead of in the headlights

haha

nah, the high beams are attached to the main headlight units behind the grille, remove the grill as per this guide as it only sits in front of the high beam units (not bolted to them - might have a couple of push in type clips.. can't remember). don't need to remove the highbeam units to remove the front bar

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
