Custom Lock bar for R33 Skyline

The fabrication company made 3 additional lock bars

Price and Payment Conditions: $150

Extra Info: Replaces standard Hicas system with heavy duty lockbar (bolts straight up and has alot more strength than a standard lock bar)

Contact Details: Post or message

As Below you can see the comparison in the 2 lockbars, if you want something that may warp or bend under pressure by all means go the cheap option. The one that is for sale is the top one which won't warp or bend under sideways motion.

Lock Bar which is for sale:

See the difference,

I've had it on my car for a couple of months and it has made the handling of my car totally different to what it used to be, especially driving over 100km/h. It is worth while modification to your car whether it has coilovers or not.

I've hit a wall at 140 with a "cheap" and no problems. Granted that was an airbag, but it still did a fair bit of damage!

About a year of track driving with mine, drifting, circuit, semis, road tyres.

Yours does look very good quality though. I assume spherical bearings in the inner joints?

I have talked to the manufacturer and yes they are.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

      And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...

      That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.

      R33 general questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
