zerotohundred Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 hey guys, i bought a front bar off a member on the forums a couple of months ago, it looks identical to this : i finally found the time to get it painted and everything. and now that its all done, i cant seem to fit it onto the car as the chasis is in the way of the things where the fog lights go. wat would be the best way to get it to fit without ruining the bar? thnx in advance Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275953-front-bar-not-fitting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy_ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 is it just the reo bar that is in the way? you can either trim the front bar (i presume its a fibreglass copy?) or trim the reo bar depending on how much it hits Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275953-front-bar-not-fitting/#findComment-4673054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR4-GTR Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) are you trying to fit a stock r33 gtr bar onto a GTST? Edited June 22, 2009 by KR4-GTR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275953-front-bar-not-fitting/#findComment-4673268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMW Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Pretty sure it depends on whether it's a series one or two, think there is a slight difference in the shape of the reo and also mounting points.

ShyBoi Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 same as above either trim the bar to allow for reo or trim the reo to fit the bar...shudnt hav a problem if its gtr onto gtr but if its onto a gtst u may Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275953-front-bar-not-fitting/#findComment-4673587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffworld2 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 REMOVE THE REO ALL TOGETHER, there are two 14mm bolts either side. If it doesnt fit stil, it will be because it is a little too wide ie genuine gtr size Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275953-front-bar-not-fitting/#findComment-4673766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
