Hey guys, for my Extension Studies class I am studying on fibreglassing!!

All I need is some research of fibreglass front bars.. So I thought I'd have a research of the ones in Adelaide. If your nice enough post up a photo of your front bar if its made out of fibreglass!!!

Thanks!!

Here is my brand spanking new GTR style front bar. It was white, so I sprayed it with some cheap matte black spray can paint for now and trial fitted it. Indicators are not fitted. Bonnet lip and eyelids are not yet painted or fitted either. But you get the idea.

Andrew the new bar looks great, but you are going to have give the intercooler a pollish LOL

thanks guys.

Yeah Guy I will have to polish the intercooler - am probably going to paint the top of the intercooler and mounting brackets black, and the top of the oil cooler as well. Might find some R34 style black mesh and put it back there too.

Pete - yeah the fit is not perfect, but I just quickly trial fitted the bar the this stage, so will massage it a bit more and make it fit better when I take it off to paint it. Hopefully I have a vented real carbon fibre bonnet and boot to come shortly that will complete the look (speaking to a source in China as we speak). Then I have to decide whether to respray the car Obsidian Black again, or go Midnight Purple (which was my original intent). Unfortunately Midnight Purple 3 (the harlequin colour that came on R34GTRs) costs $1k a litre and I would need just under 3 litres to paint the car, so it would double my repainting cost - so might go with Midnight Purple 1 of R33GTR fame.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
