Hey, I was just wondering if any brand makes a rear bar for the 4 door R32 which isn't so bulky like BN Sports, Vertex etc.

As you can see in the picture, the sideskirts were a genuine factory option and aren't big like the other brands, so I need something that will suit them, as well as the Type-M front bar which doesn't come down too low either.

Basically I would like to achieve a subtle kind of look.

Yes the front bar is black and will be sprayed soon :thumbsup:

Thanks alot, Brent.

hmm, i can't really help you as far as a brand of rear bar as per say... but have you considered simply painting the black surround you body colour? or matching the rear bar up with the sidesteps you have?

i think just a simple spray of the black bit could be all you need! 1990's JGTC cars had that style, front, sides, but no rear... that looked cool!

Well actually, when we were getting the front bar sprayed (soon I hope) to same colour, the rear bar was going to be sprayed too, because the condition of it is a bit scrappy (can't see the other side).

Thanks for the ideas though mate, I really think it will help just thinking about it now :D

well you could try getting a seccond hand standard rear bar and cutting part of the bottom off then turning it up side down and sticking it to the bottom of the bar on your car. this would make the rear bar come in and the then out again and meker it lower. it may sound like an average idea but like any body work it depends on how much work goes into it. plus rear bars are usealy cheap.

just another idea

I've colour coded the black bottom parts of the sides, and rear. Looks good.

I have coupe Pods and they are about 3" to short to that line between the panel and the rear bar.

Colour Coding the black lower lips does change the car alot. Makes it look better

I can put a pic up if u want

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
