Guys,

my bumper's got a dent and I've got a CF one given to me.

I wanna remove the current stock-as bumper.

How do I do it? I mean, i really dont wanna go to the shops for a small thing like this.

please tell me where the bolts are? I went under the car (at night-damn!) and couldn't find any bolts.

help ,please?

ta!

ok this is for a series 1, but should be the same. there are 3 bolts under the grill, then you have to pull the inner guards out and there is 2 bolts/nuts in each side, 1 right at the guard, the other about 25cm in. i also just completely unbolt the front reinforcement bar. its just 2 big bolts, 2 big nuts that bolt to the chassis.

i;m a bit dumb here so just need to ask - where is the front reinforcement bar?? if u have pics or can illustrate further,that would be much appreciated.

sorry for the trouble,mate

yeah i have a new rear bar(stock) which i am putting in.

Well because it's one piece, are the inner guards separate pieces?

by the looks of this, its pretty unclear.

but yeah the walkthrough i gave for the rear bar should help if its rear bar..

btw, that topic ended really good LOL

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
