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.

here are a few pics, one shows how the glass bar broke, the second is my modified 400r bar (no indicators)

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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
