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!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
