ill be fitting it either tonight or tomoz nyt. from the looks of it and the measurements that i took off my stock bar i got at home, its pretty close. wont need much to fit perfect. with all the interest in kits if we source a good supplier we might even be able to organise discount prices for forum members but still 220 for most of his bars is cheap and a full kit for 520 plus postage. dont get much cheaper

it is very tuff bar. bought 2-3mm thick not just some flimzy thing. no dips around head lights but it is visible around wheel wells where he has hi filled to cover slight imperfections when being removed from mould but hey its been cleaned up already for me. has some slight little marks on it not in obvious spots but a small amount of hi fill and a sand and ready to prime.

IMHO it is great. highly recommend any1 to purchase his kits if they all have the quality that mine does and also fittment, still havent put it on. will do either later tonight or tomoz.

I've seen a few bodykits in my time - trust me, what you bought is deefinitely at least medium to high-class quality... look at how smooth the texture is and there are no air-bobbles etc... what you have done is saved money for other mods.... well done... only 2 things now... fitment... how does it fit... secondly... is it heavy-duty or will it crack in a couple of months...

But seems great....

You got a link to one of the dude's items??

ground clearance is about the same. i think there is about 3mm difference with the trial sitting slightly lower.

to get a shop to fit, prime and spray probably 400-500. to do your self is easy, just a light rub with 600grit wet/dry, hit it with a primer, you can by them in a can now days from supercheap, rub again with a 800 or finer grit to ensure no marking and hand over to a panel beater to spray. then like 200-250. with fitting its a matter or drilling 4 holes on the side for the gaurds and 2 at the front section for under the grill.

its definitly of a more heavy duty bar, very strong and not flimsy. ill post once i get it fitted today, am working atm but later me and a mate are doing the fittment. easy.

link foir this guys other items: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-new-Trial-Rea...1QQcmdZViewItem

thats for his trial rear bars, but when in there go to view other items from seller and it will have more. or other wise send him an email and he can let you know what he has in stock.

ok guys

i fitted the front bar last nyt and too my shock it fit pretty well. all that was needed for me to do was to drill 6 holes, normal mounting points for bar and it will need a small packer under each headlight to minimize the gap, and cooler hole deepened.

around the guards was perfect. it sat real good. no manipulation needed. indicators sat in the holes correctly and yeh was a good fit. cant forget to mention tho, i had to cut some of the ducting at the back for the cooler to squeese in, it is evident that the bar was designed to be mounted without the front mount and only the standard side mount. no biggy tho, angle grinderworked good.

oh yeh, with regards to d1 slots in the bar, i had to remove some of the reo to allow them to sit right but thats necessary even with the gtr style bar.

and if anyone gets these guys front bars and needs a hand with fittment, im more than happy to help out.

Thanks Cheez Michael Michaels (hi hi hi .... Blades of Glory)... hi hi...

Wow, it looks really nice... from what I can see - the quality is pretty good bro, good job!! You've spent pretty much half of what you were suppose to spend on the bar, paint and fitting - more money for other mods... doesn't it feel good when you spend money well and wisely? Good on ya bro... thanks for offering to help out... Might drop you a PM soon as I might get a new front bar...

Regards matey!!

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
