bumper support cutouts...

[MaXiMuS007]

just wondering if anyone has a photo of what an r33 gtst bumper support looks like after its been cut for a 400r or GTR style bar?

send it to [email protected]

also is it possible to fit one without cutting the support at all?

you should be able to fit a 400r bar with out cutting the bar support. i only cut holes in my support for the vent holes in the bumper either side of the number plate. sorry i got no pics of the support though.

you don't really need bumper support ... its just there to help the .... bumper ... also it helps in a crash too ... my cousin had a 400r on his car and had to take the support off to fit the front mount ... just don't go crashing ur car no more ...

[walkoau]

thats weird cause mine went on with not much fuss at all????

[MaXiMuS007]

hehe thanks hippy

but the crash is the reason i want to keep it intact! let it be a lesson to people.

is there any chance the support for the 4 door is different to the coupe maybe? (doubt it...)

coupes and seddans share the same chassis, so the front bumper supports should be the same.

ie: the coupes were designed from the 4 door chassis

yeah u should be able to fit a gtr bumper on without removing the support bar completely....thats if its not a dodgy copy. same as with most I/C's too.

[MaXiMuS007]

i'm not asking whether it needs to be removed completely, i don't want to cut it at all!

MaXiMuS007, if u get any useful information or pictures, could u please send them through to me also - it seems u are in the same position as i am at the moment - and was going to post the exact same question as u were!!! have u already got the 400R front bar??? if so where did u get it and how much did u pay - buying my kit in exactly two weeks, can't wait

I just bought a GTR front bar to suit the R33 gtst from unique auto sports and I had to cut a fair bit off the support out to fit it on properly, Its getting prepped and sprayed on monday so Ill let you guys know how it goes...

Cheers..

can u take photos?

has anyone fitted a GTR copy bar (the one WITHOUT the little rectangle holes either side of bumper)? i heard that with these ones you dont need to cut anything, whereas the bars with the rectangle holes you need to cut the intrusion bars, is this right??

[walkoau]

thats exactly right sly33.

if you already have the 400r bar try fitting it first without touching the bar support. i think you will be very suprised at how little you actualy need to cut. because the 400r bar is very deep at the front it should clear over the bar support and you should only have to cut out holes for the rectanglepieces either side of the number plate.

Sly33.. i have the above bar.. GTR bar without the air holes..

My bumper support has been cut.. but its too hard to explain over the forums in words..

basically they cut the lower supports... the main part where it bolts onto the chasis was left.. they cut two rectangles into the support so that it bends more correctly across the bar..
