Hi,

just would like to run these pics past you guys, see what you think of this new bar.

It's a TRUST.

I have included a pic of my car with original bar, taken a few weeks back....prior to taking a hit.

Anyways, some clown reversed into my car, and via insurance (all paid for by the clown), I thought I'd take the opportunity to change things a bit.

(Lucky I was still in the car when it happened!!!)

At first, when I went to pick the car up from the panel shop, I thought to myself...'wot the faaark have I done!!"...but I like it very much now.

It seems to have been fitted very well too.

I hate speed bumps!! especially now!!!

Now, if I could just get some glass headlights!!!

Regards,

Superspit.

man if u want something unique then dont get the second most common bar around....

hehehe...I had no idea it was the second most common!!

Not sure if I actually wanted something 'unique'...just a little more aggressive without too much 'rice'. (I am not knocking 'rice', by the way!!)

But thanx man.

very nice, but how is the 'line now when youre driving it around town? i could only imagine it scraping it every second speed hump >_<

Hi deriq,

I'm in the process of learning where I can and can't go......I have HKS adjustable coils,...so I'm thinking that I may (or may not) have to raise her a little (bummer!!).

I am taking everything on an angle now, including my driveway!!

So far, just a few little scrapes, not bad though.

I'm getting a few comments on the front indicator lamps, apparently they look a bit 'trailerish'??

I think I might get some low profile ones, but keep them round. (???)

Looking for more thoughts, negs, pos...whatever!!

Thanx,

Hey mate good choice of bar I got the same one and I don't care how many other cars have them very agressive style. I got my park lights turned into indicators so I didn't have to bolt anything on the front, not sure of the legalities but never had any problems, cost me $40 just had to fit a relay and that was it.

it looks great just needs some matching side skirts and rear pods or 400r rear bar. Also the 4 door headlights dont match the white, get some 2 door ones.

it would appear so...

PS: you have too much mesh in your bar... get an aftermarket intercooler in there, it looks WAY better :P

hehehe!...out with the POD and in with the FMIC you reckon!!!!!!

sounds good, I'll be doing this as a final mod soon. (I think it was around $1600 for a reasonable set-up and install?)

It's a bit odd that the guys at the panel shop put 'open weave' mesh in the grill and closed mesh on the bar...

Anyways.,may fool some peeps!!!lol!

Thanx DRD!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
