R33 Type M front bar plastic welding (cut middle out)


Recommended Posts

Hey people, a question for those of you who have modified a type m front bar for a FMIC -

who did the plastic welding for you (to fix the sides of the bar in the middle cut-out) and what did it cost? I'm in the inner east if that helps, but any pricing info is good...

and, how much would i look at to get the front bar resprayed after?

Cheers ronin

Im from Western Sydney and looking at getting the above done when I get my 400R kit painted/fitted.

Got a quote of $500 for....

* Cut number plate section and patch side

* Mesh bottom of front bar

* Re-align FMIC (its about 1 inch to the left)

* Fit UAS air filter box over my HKS Pod

* Connect ducting from that box down to the front bar

* Respray entire front M-Spec bar.

pushead, yep thats the one :P

benm that sounds good, keep the replies coming - if anyone has a specific place they've used to plastic weld the bugger in melb that would be even better :)

my front bar is *cough* a bit worse for wear from driveway approaches (particularly my own drive - the old man has a 911 and every morning i hear is scraping... oh the pain!). i'm going to get the whole bar redone, at the same time get a stealth wing swapped over :D

haha... thats not a bad idea, but i just can't be bothered... i haven't as yet cracked the current front bar, but it has no paint on the bottom :D

Means i can't lower it either :D for the time being

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
