Hey guys

I damaged my front bar the other day trying to get out of a sh*t driveway. The part in the middle of the bar (see the pic circled in red) just under the intercooler has snapped on the right hand side and also where the bolts are screwed in on the side to the car itself broke off so the bar is hanging on one side. Just wondering if this can be fixed or would i have to get a new bar. i really like my bar so i would prefer to fix it. Anyone got any experience in similar matters and can suggest a shop in sydney to visit?

Sorry that i dont have a pic of the damage itself but as you can imagine i dont like looking at it.

If it is fiber glass and you are a bit handy with it then anything can be fixed, but if you have no idea about it and have to pay somebody to fix it for you then you might be better of getting a new bar. I fixed my own bar and it had cracks and breaks all over it and it came up smick and the i just payed somebody to paint it.

Nice bar - it's not too badly damaged... I don't think it would cost more than $300 to fix if that...

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
