Hey guys i am thinking of getting a makeover for my car R33 GTSt S1.... i am planning on getting a front and rear bar but the question is where to get one with good quality...everywhere i been looking is all fiberglass kits where as i seen a few plastic black ones around...where should i be looking????? i am interested in one that is NOT fiberglass and that looks good..

thanks guys i did a bit of research and your right.....it does have to come from overseas.....i tried jetspeed as well they told me the same thing.....the cheapest one i found was $2000 for just the front bar....damn i wish sydney would have some sort of importer of these kits so it would be cheaper.....but any way it looks like i might just have to go fiberglass :( i just hope it doesn't break in a few months

Most OEM bars are actually made of PU (polyurethane) and although there are advantages like shock absorption there are a few downsides. For instance polyurethane can be harder to repair, moulds are more complex and cost more which increases part cost, harder to modify for fitting. The hardest part of selling bodykits for R33's is that series 1 and 2 are slightly different in the front end which makes trying to design a bar that fits both challenging to say the least. This might sound like a sales pitch as I sell fibreglass bodykits, however I have numerous PU suppliers but both styles available and cost has led us to selling fibreglass. I believe that bodykits are very cheap these days. Some people are still charging excess of $1000 for very average fitting kits which fit just as good as the dirt cheap ones. Having said that though, buyers need to be aware that every car is different and might have previous damage that can affect fitment.

psi parts do you have a branch in sydney????? i am just after the front and rear bar...i want to keep oem sideskirts and just change front and back

No, but we can ship to anywhere in Australia.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
