A genuine front bar won't cost that much. with $3k only you would have a genuine strong front bar, that would be sufficient enough for front impact crash rating. Not a cheap fibreglass copy for $650 that might get you killed or leave you with $10k repair bill on your car, as these cheap copies are only as strong as paper in the event of an accident.

So, I'm saving for a genuine one. Maybe I'll get that $1800 genuine veilside front bar. Whole kit with side skirts shouldn't cost more than $6k. The E1 style is not bad. Looks like it's using the standard blinkers as well.

I might be willing to part with mine....i've got the full C-I kit minus the flares, I also seem to have the GTR CE-I rear wing instead of the GTS C-I one. Front bar needs a bit of work tho.

GTR-B0Y, any pics of your front bar?

What do u mean the front bar needs work? is it damaged, how bad is the damage?

are the legit ones poly eurathane or carbon fibre? if its carbon then jus go the fakes man, jus make sure the ones you get have a wire mesh underlay (othawise they jus snap and crumble)

the bomex kit i got on my old 180 was 50% aluminum 50% poly eurathane... so basically it made it look good and as solid as stock, maybe veilside do the same.

i always thought that the strength was in the metal reinforcing bumper that your bumper skin sits on, surely the strength of your body kit doesnt matter at all aside from the fact that scrapes may damage some more than others..

yeah in case of an accident of that proportion the chassis is the only thing tha stops you from becomign a sardine... the panels don't have much to do with it.

Getting an original helps when you get into a minor accident... (like the one I jus had where sum kant backed into my bumper) all that happens is that your paint cracks and you get a scuff mark das all... wheras if you had a fibreglass one you'd have a massive crack and you'd have to do some major patching up which costs as much as the panel.

Dont know if this is of any help, may be a bit late but BODYFORM is Lansvale do Veilside kits. Dont know the price but the work is very good. Seen a blue R33 there that had the kit put on and it looked pretty good. Certainly worth a look if you are interested in the Veilside bodykit.......

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
