: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

    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.
