Hi all,

Im trying to complete the body kit for my car and the last thing on the list is a front bar.

I have narrowed it down to two options:

Explosive front bar

or

GP Sports front bar.

Now all the pics ive seen of both these bars have been from the sellers,and all of them use the same pics! (same car)

Does anyone out there have either of these front bars on their car?

Please post them up and help me make up my mind.

For reference the rear bar is Nismo and side skirts are Top Secret. My car is also white.

don't mix n match body kit parts people can tell and they look shiit.

go the full explosive kit.

Yes people can tell,

But if you choose parts carefully it can look even better. For example:

Explosive,TopSecret and GP rear bars are way higher than the side skirts and front bar, so if you look at the car from the side the front bar and side skirts are level, then there is a big step up at the back.

The Nismo rear bar is lower therefore giving the car the same line all the way around.

Here are a few pictures of our demo car with the GP Sports Front Bar and Side Skirts (please excuse the hideous indicators, they are long gone). Also some others I found too.

Im really liking the GP sports bar, its better than the other rubbish thats around. The explosive front bar is to Fat and boring!!!!

Im more into the standard look of the S2. I dont even have sideskirts on mine.

Where can the GP front bad be purchased?

We usually stock the GP Sports Front Bar and Side Skirts, however we have recently sold out of front bars.

If you are looking for another look you can always go the Do Luck GTR Kit for GTS, as seen on our project car:

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
