Hi Guys,

I have cut my front intrusion bar (or reinforcement bar) of my series 1 R33 get more airflow onto my intercooler. I now understand it is illegal. Anyway, can i reinforce the standard bar to meet regulations or do i have to get another front intrusion bar.

Cheers,

Jerry

probably easiest to go and get another one they arnt too expensive

They're actually very expensive due to number of people who have small front end prangs and require new reo. Importers take advantage of this and charge what ever they like and you never see any in the private forsale section of this forum for this reason. You're better off to just leave, unless you've got fulll comprehensive insurance in which case it needs to be fixed or the insurance company will not pay out your money if you crash.

yes you can strengthen it, you will need to weld in some steel to ensure full regidity of the front bar, this can be done by a metalshop. I am going to do so to mine and then certify it myself. It pays to be mechanical enginner sometimes.

      I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.

      My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.

      I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all.

      I always drive with the tire pressure gauges showing the PSI because I'm paranoid about getting a flat tire and not knowing then keep driving and tear it apart. No amount of goo is going to fix a shredded tire. My Q60 has the goo and the V36 had the goo too. Never used it but I have used the pump to pump up the tire to get home. Then I fixed it with a plug. Wasn't keen on the goo.
