Hey guys id like to get my type m front bar looking like the one in the picture below, what precautions do i have to take, or how should i tell the panelbeater to get it to what i want???

its a stock type m series 1 r33 front bar, i want the middle cut out, i heard that some parts will show cuts through it, and needs plastic welding back on.

most importantly, how much should i be charged for such a job, inc respray???

thanks in reply

p.s, big ups to the dude that got his looking so mint:)

cool, so the plastic welder will cut and smooth the plastic, thanks for that, no how much do they tend to charge for such a job?

not too sure, as al or babia on the forums as they have both had their front bars plastic welded (al's is the car you posted)...

be careful when doing this, apparently there is a bar support behind the bit in which you wanna cut off. I've been told when i hit my panel beater up to do this that you have to refabricate a new support.

maybe i need to find a new panel beater....cause i want the same effect

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
