cops will defect you for that.

:P

Yeah, having no bar is a bigger reason for a defect than a damaged bar. Leave it on. :thumbsup:

Yeah sounds right but its f**ken hell low and scrapes on the smallest bump! lol Just have to take it easy till next week.

your front bar looks perfect in your avatar :thumbsup:

Yeah it does, I can see the damage and on the right side there a big crack by the near the tyre and the whole bar is pretty flimsy.

True. They'll argue: no fixed location for the plate, sharp edges exposed, etc etc, and if you've hacked your reo bar for a fmic you'll be in strife.

i got around for 2 weeks with no front bar, untill it was repaired and replaced, passed cops on the road had no problems,

Got the new front bar on and still havent put the front number plate on and its almost been 2 months now..

If u can cover your arse well enough ull get off. I always push my luck tho. untill they pull me up ill leave it. looks better without it.

And if they do and ask where it is ill say. just picked my car up from the painters and here is the plate. ta dar... and the braket... on my way home to install it now constable :-)

Just depends on where ya live as well too i guess

yea just on that, ive never heard or seen anyone been book before for not having a front bar, there are even alot getting around town at the moment,

i think it must be that time of year that most skyline owners around here are getting front bars fixed or replaced lol

dont do it mate

its not worth taking the risk

just drive with caution with your cracked front bar

the equation is:

cracked from bar = good chance of not being defected

no front bar = asking for a defect

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
