Hey guys,

I'm looking for a stock front and rear bar for my R33. I posted in WTB, but I'm just generally wondering if I should bother looking at wreckers, and if there are any on on the North Shore because I reckon that'd be the cheapest.

I don't really wanna buy a non-standard looking one because I like the look of the stock one.

hey walkoau: thanks for your offer, excellent price but i'm looking for an S2 one unfortunately.

benm: i'll get back to you about that, i'm interested. i'm going to bring my car into a repair place and see if the dents can be repaired or if they suggest i buy a new one.

thanks guys.

if you take it to a proper bumper place (the places that offer exchange/ reconditioned bars) they will have no problem repairing it. i seen a plastic bumper bar off some rare car (cant remember what it was) and it was smashed to pieces but they fixed it up better than new.

all i know is the price of a second hand r33 4 door rear bar is $650 and i had to learn from the hard way.

a stupid 19yo girl with no insurance and no job ran up the arse of my car in a vn commodore last week. and im heaps pissed off about it. ive been trying to contact her for a week and all i get is an answering machine.

she did a total of $4800 damage to my rear end!!!!!!!!!

by the way do u happen to have a rear bar off a coupe lying around cause i need to find out if a coupe one will fit mine, cause then i will know if i can get a veilside copy rear bar to fit the 4 door.

dam!!!

i need some one to come to my house so i can take there rear bar off to see if it fits on my 4 door........

can some one in sydney do me this big favor?????????????

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
