Dude.... I want that rear bar.

I bought one off ebay (silly me) and it doesnt fit...... Where can I get a rear VS bar like that, that will actually fit my r33 and how much should I pay???

don't get one! mine wasn't any good either! i'm a bit over veilside now anyways but at the time i picked it up from a place called pulse autostyling, who i don't think are in business anymore but were in south east melbourne.

where are you from shaun_perry?

if in melbourne, freddy from topstage.com.au can customize you anything you can dream of! or help you dream of something! check out this latest bar on my 33, with the flush boot all painted and finished... :)

I looked around for one of these for a while and Viva Garage did on in carbon and (no offense) doesnt fit like shaunsr33 one either. I saw pictures of them installed on some r33's and they came out the same way. You better off paying $200 for the Stealth Wing man.

If you want one that will fit, powerplay imports can get a genuine east bear one, but be prepared to pay for the privelidge....

Alternately, if you just want the look you could take it to topstage or similar and get them to fill the toop with glass to make it flush (as a bonus you know it's going to fit)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
