I am suprised you didn't show me that bar when i was there on the weekend lol, Very nice front bar indeed. As with anything you have i know its immaculate and genuine

Free Bump Ian GL with sale

I forgot!.. Its upstairs in the lounge room at the moment. I didnt want to get it wet when we had flooding not that long ago.

Awesome bar mate, just wondering why its fibreglass? Thought it would be plastic? Or is it a different sort/stronger fibreglass?

The bars are moulded under pressure, so it squeezes out every last unnecessary drop of resin, and also compacts all the fiberglass cloth so they are very dense, strong, no air bubbles, and are only about 1mm thick. This makes them very light too for how strong they are.

Thanks for the bump...

Thats the chassis us under my 1966 vw beetle. The center tunnel with the chassis number stamped on it is standard but thats about all that is. I've modified the front and rear end of the chassis to allow 1994 Porsche 968 turbo front and rear suspension and braking components to fit. The gearbox is from a porsche 930, and suspension is honda civic Tein super streets. Wheels are porsche 996 with 18x8 and 18x10 RE55 semi slicks. The pics are pretty old now, the car is nearly assembled again. Just waiting on a few engine parts.

Cheers,

Ian

Isnt it funny that all the people that have bitched about your price are people that dont own a GTR. I would not even look twice at cheap knock off parts for my GTR. If they think they can find a cheap part and compare it to a nismo part are seriously kidding themselves.

Anyway Ian, free bump. GL with selling it :P

Isnt it funny how all the people supporting the price arent sticking their hands in their pocket to buy it. :)

Sold, pending payment.

Beauu, I hope you got my email.... I havent noticed a deposit hit my bank account yet so I hope you check your emails first and hold off on making the deposit.

Did the front bar end up selling?

Sold, pending payment.

Its still in a sold pending payment holding pattern. The guy that wants the bar and lip is owed money from other people and until they pay up in parts/money the bar is with me. Im not in any hurry to move it and for the moment I have plenty of storage space

I havent taken a deposit yet though, so if your willing to come up with some coin first then by all means its yours.

Cheers

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
