I originally had a TRIAL front bar on my 33gts, left my car about 85mm off the ground when I wasnt in there. (I weigh 70kg and car has standard springs)

My mate modified it, did an awsome job. Took off everything below the middle holes in the kit. My car doesn't look as mean :O

lol, I want to buy another front spoiler. My driveway is a gutter... so grats Algester. It cant be to low.

I'm looking at

400R

Veilside

Top Secret

or try again with my Trial front...

I just want a meaner looking car again! :'( /sad

all of the aftermarket one will be at least as low as the trial one I would say...

save your money and save for rims and suspension or rims...

or better still if you want looks go custom designed car graphics...

+1 with 75 coupe.

bigger rims lifts car off ground some more so it can help the front bar get less damage. and suspension changes will help too.

and ++++1 for the top secret!! i want it too

there is always 1 on ebay. check it out.

PS ur mate did a decent job on the change to the front bar. good work.

I was looking at buying one off eBay (the whole kit) for 550$ I think off the top of my head...

The guy is in brisbane also so 1 day delivery - Get my mate to paint them again hehe.

If its just as low as the trial I probably won't be able to go for it then :'(

But maybe it's a good reason to get large rims as well :(

I honestly thought though, that the top secret front wouldn't be as high as the trial... you just broke my bubble man!!!

umm bigger rims will not lift your car off the ground, if it does then you will have other problems like speedo calibration and wouldn't that also change your cars handling as well..,

larger diameter rims means lower profile tyres, so you the cars height won't/shouldn't change...

Take the front bar off & go the drift look....

They look decent... but not exactly what I am looking for. There is a dude on ebay that sells new kits - seems really good for great prices. Just got to paint myself and that is 0 problem-a.

I still really want to know which is lower to the ground:

Trial or Top Secret

Becuase I did like my trial... but then again I did get it modded becuase it was just so low lol. Even if the top secret was say... 20mm higher or something that would be perfect... *prays*

A little off topic richie, but do you have any side on shots of your car? I'm looking for skirts to go with my trial front, but i can't seem to find many examples with the same front.

Stay with the trial front btw, it's the best one imo - not too over the top, but still pretty badass.

Yeh I know... just ONE of my mates convinced me to have it cut so it wasnt so low.

I'm really thinking hard about just buying a new trial front lol...

Also, I dont really have any side pictures, but I am just using the standard sides

http://mezmamedia.com/richie/photos/skylin...u/skyline_2.jpg that would be the most side on one I have.

But, if you are looking for sides, I think these ones look pretty nice:

Have a look at that dudes ebay shop...

The top secret sides look pretty cool to:

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
