Hi all. I'm on the hunt for a new front bar for my s1 r33. I currently have a top secret bar which is in need of replacing but the problem I experienced with this particular front bar is that it scrapes quite often. My car isn't lowered at all and it appears to be from the massive lip these bars have. Any recommendations for a front bar that looks the goods and is less likely to scrape?? Cheers.

have a look at www.carmate.com

im looking for a new kit aswell. i have the same as their T Style front bar, same problem as u... not too low, but still scrapes. im still gonna get a new 1 the same... i like it too much :P

I suggest you get the Do Luck kit...looks trick as...but if you want something simple and has a classic look, get the GTR Front Bar...

Hm I don't think I'd be doing the car justice by putting a gtr front, even though they look hot. The do luck isn't too bad. No scraping problems? JCaSs1001, be weary of carmate products. I've had friends who've been caught out by some of their products before

whatever you do, dont go the do luck if your worried about height, i recently installed a do luck and it came out far and sat low, i couldnt even get up my slight inclide drive, i switched to a 400R kit and havnt regretted it, its nice and practicle, sure it might scrape here and there but my car is lowered to so it can play that field to!

Dont touch carmate, quality is crap, fitment is way off got my from bar from them

As for kits the Do-Luck, 400R, Trust all sit low and on some driveways can scrape even with a car thats not lowered,

I got the TR Front bar, fitment was alright at the front apart from under drivers light there is a bad as gap...now my car was lowered like half an inch when coilovers were put in and cant get up a driveway with that bar...

MS Sports maybe

There is the JUN Kit, but preferably dont like it

Id go Do-Luck kit but thats just me

Is your GTR bar a rea lone or a copy designed to fit the r33 joey ? Is there decent urethane stuff out there ??

Gary

its a gtr bar for gtst in fibreglass....

the stock gtr bar can be made to fit, but you may need to pull your guards a lil

s1 style but opened up a bit more. if not there are a couple others on the site.

www.uniqueautosports.com

cant vouch for their quality though

my T style (like carmates) bar does scrap, especially when it was as low as i bought it... but as long as i turned on an angle it wouldnt touch...

thanx for the heads up about carmate.com ShyBoi!! ne 1seen the same bar in melbourne or another shop??? unique autos is pretty expensive by the looks of their site...

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
