^^^looks good

the only reason the trust front bar looks good is coz it makes the headlights look very evil, it exposes the whole front mount core(giving u that hardcore look and ppl think ur packin shit loads of boost) and is lower than most other after market front bars

Edited by skyline17

Definately get new indicators. Trailer lights do not belong on a Skyline :P

I would also go for the black inserted headlights.

I would hate to think how little reo you now have and how unsafe your car would be in a front on accident :/

sorry, just my opinion...........

And who charges $1600 for a fmic now-a-days? Unless of course it is a full custom job.

Hi Al,

wow..thanx for your comments!!..,really appreciate them.

There is still a fair bit of Reo in the front,....but who would it be more unsafe for?, the driver or the thing that gets hit?? :woot:

I actually really like my chrome headlights, they're different to the norm, and when polished come up a treat!!!

The black ones are cool though.

Yeah, I am tending to sway towards you on the indicators. I suspect that finding nice ones is going to be a little difficult?

I do like their 'raw' look though, just got no class at all.

FMIC??...what is the 'going rate' nowadays on install and parts,..I was quoted the above figure a while ago, admittedly.

Regards,

Spit.

looks good.

doesn't look like it's colour matched properly to the rest of the body though - looks too white while the guards and bonnet look to have more ivory.

Hi R09,

mmmm...interesting comment...I must say the guys at my work, those who spray paint for a living, seem to be actually impressed by the matching.

I guess digital photography can make things appear that way,(ivory/mismatch/shade) though i can't see it in reality.

Admittedly, my car does need a good polish!!...maybe that's what you can pick up on???

I value your input Ronin, and i thankyou.

Regards,

Spit.

Just found these if you are interested in changing your lights :cool:

Indicator link

I would choose "M3 Series Truck Clearance Marker Lights" and mount them in the lower ducts using some cheap L-shape brackets from Bunnings.

Hey mate I put a couple of pics up in the members gallery under Front bar. I don't know how to transfer them to this thread. They were taken on my phone quite late in the day so they are not that great but you can get the idea. You can see the orange globe where the park lights are. If you want to ge indicators I was told to look for actual trailer ones as they are small and clear. Tell me what you think anyway.

Hey buddy

just an idea for ur indicators, this is what i did on my front bar.

i dint want them sticking out anywhere cos the bar looked hawt without indicators.

ps, dnt laugh at the paint on the front bar, lol, its gettin sprayed again :D

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
