umm peter also asked me this Q, the only place around are area is carmate right?? LOL ill probably buy it from there and paint/fit it at Xtreme Bodykits in Warwick Farm. You know of any other places??

Also was looking through PowerPlayImports site with their Eastbear conversion kit.. they had nice looking side skirts and rear bar hehe might be anothe option, no idea about cost though

Yeap only carmate that i know of lol

i found a supplier in china who does the full kit for $300 USD + del but unsure of quality and dont want to risk it.

Hi People's. You probably seen my car here but its changed and finally completed. I posted pictures from when i bought it, to what it looks like right now.

Garland you can try to get a hold of Josh by going down to Taren Point.. that's what i had to do. However, there's no certainty he will be there lol

thanks Shenan. lol but by the looks of things of what ppl had wrote here i think theres def no chance for me to ever own a ztune style front bar :blush:

Aznbongsta is that the frontbar from that Ebay dude (mybodykits or something like that) ? How's the quality of the front ..did it need a lot of modifying? easy to paint or did you get that typical fibreglass ripple look after painting?

my front is bugging me too as its higher than the sideskirts and rearbar ... stock frontbar. But I don't want a superlow frontbar thats impractical for a daily or something that cracks easily... There's really not that much choice out there for R34s is there :)

Theres always that nissan optional factory lip but I'm not into the whole snowplough look and plus they're so rare it's not worth even looking for one.

Hi Delta Force. Yes that bar is from him.

The quality? i would have no idea, its my first fibreglass item so i got nothing to compare it to.

Nothing to mod at all unless your talking about my own personal mod i did, ALso my first time.

Painting? no idea either, just went to get quotes and my panel beater did the rest.

Ripples? no idea as well, looks good to me, like a normal panel to me.

Thanks mate sounds like it's probably of decent quality then. How do you find it for daily duties? Too impractical for everyday driving or ok ?

Parking is a bugger, driving is a bugger, its sits alot alower than the stock bumper probably around 5-7cm lower.

So pretty impratical but for the looks its worth it. Haha

could you do me a favour and measure height of the bar from just under the parker light downwards to the end of the lip ? When I asked the seller he said it's only 23mm lower than the stock bar which doesn't sound too low at all (unless your front suspension is lowered a lot)

edit: also from bonnet down to the end of the bottom lip too please if you can

Aznbongsta,

I was thinking about doing the exact same mods to that bar from ebay, looks great now that i see the mods done. did you have to open up the blinker holes to get them to sit in there also? it doesnt look like they would fit unless you open up the hole... any more pics of it from the front?

also, is it two piece or one piece? i looks like you have some string holding the lip together with the bar?

  • 4 weeks later...

For looks i give it 2 thumbs up but it hurts the hip pocket a bit.

$5 HUNDRED AND 7 Tee 3 DOLLARS....a little bit rich considering most full kits available are copies and it would be kinda silly to go genuine on a lip.

also i think aznbongsta just painted the lower section black, anyhow it looks awesome as it is...well done

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
