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.

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
