As the title suggests, is there anyone in Adelaide how has done a DIY fix on their front bar? The other night I took out one of the mount points on my front bar on a rather shocking driveway. I had a laps in concentration, forgot to take it on the angle and heard crunch! :)

Now, one of the front mounting points has been broken clean off so will need what I think may be some fairly serious glassing... Has anyone done it that would like to give me a hand? Live south, and 6 pack would be gladly supplied to someone with experience willing to show me how/help me out.

Cheers

Lee

(PS still dont know how i'll even get the front bar off!! LOL)

yeah thats easily fixed all ya need is a firbre glass repair kit i think they're like 40-50 dollars from good hardware stores... its pretty easy to do your self if ya just follow the instructions on the kit.... once its all hardened all ya have to do is sand it back and paint it..

i also live south so might be able to lend ya a hand if needed

Well I'll be giving it a shot to fix in the next couple of weeks.

My intention is to glass it up myself, and then possibly get crash shop to touch up re-spray.

OR does anyone know where you can get pressure packs made up (in QM1 white)??

I can fix it for you if you want, and repaint the front bar for around $300ish. all top quality work and refinished with 2pack paint, i can take off. pick up and deliver bumper. let me know if you are interested, thanks

I may call for your assistance with a similar issue! $300ish sounds like a reasonable deal to me! What sort of time frame would you need? I use my car as a daily and wouldn't really want to drive around front barless for too long or if at all!

could do a 3- 4 day turn around. because it takes about a day for the fibreglass to properly harden, and once primed the 2pack primer should be left for atleast 24hrs to properly harden as well and i'll do it on a weekend aswell if it's your daily, if that would suit you more, i'm pretty flexible with my working hours, i'm a qualifed panel beater, and i have a an excellent qualifed spray painter that does my colour matching and painting. I have time availble to put jobs in my workshop straight away as of tomorrow. thanks for your interest

G'day guys saw this thread is quite old but still relevant. I need some advise on what to fill the cracks with from the front? do i use the fibreglass glue? do i use some bog? or a combination of the two i.e fill it in as much as i can with the fibreglass resin then bog over the top? just seems to me that if i just pack bog into it they will lose a lot of the structural integrity and a slight bump and she will be busted again. Your advice is muchly appreciated thank you
Regards Nick

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
