Hi! :laugh:

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove the front bar off an R33 Series 1?

I have searched the forums and found instructions for the Series 2, but not 1.....

Also, I will be installing a FMIC, so if anyone has any hints or tips it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Pete

Remove inner guard from each wheel arch

Remove 2 screws on each side (in wheel arch) that attach front bar to front guard

Undo electrical connections to front bar indicators

Remove one nut and one bolt on each chassis rail that attach front bar reo to rail

Slide bar (with reo attached) forward

Done

There are also some tricky little plastic clips under each headlight glass between them & the top of the bumper . You need to slide in a thin piece of metal or a thin screwdriver to get the clip to release.

Not if you use the method I just outlined. You are talking about removing the bar and leaving the reo in place (makes life harder). It is much easier to remove the bar from the reo with the whole lot (bar and reo) removed.

Thanks alot Lazy-Bastard & colgf, I'll give it a go and see how it goes......I am worried though as Haynes Manuals normally start with "Simply remove....." which often turns out to be a massive job!

Apologies for my stupidity by what is the reo?

Cheers

Pete

On another note... most my clips have been snapped, and the latest retarded kid on a bike who plowed into my car snapped my last one. Any idea where you can get them from? Nissan?

EDIT: Reo is the reinforcement bar.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
