Hi fellas,

I've had a GTR front bar on my R33 for almost 2 years now. Although I really like it. I have a widebody kit on my R33 now so want to change it look of my R33 a bit.

I will keep the GTR side skirts, rear pods and wing but just want to change the front bar - so please help me decide.

At the moment, here are my top 4 preferences:

1. TopSecret style front bar.

2. Nismo 400R v1 or v2 style front bar.

3. Do-Luck style front bar.

4. Trial style front bar.

5. Jun style front bar.

I'm currently leaning towards either the Top-Secret front bar or the Nismo 400R style ones but I don't know if replicas look nice as I've never really seen any nice replicas. Does anyone have a picture of any of the above front bars on their cars?

I'm wanting to put my car through a full respray with a new front bar on in the next few weeks and would appreciate as much feedback from you guys as possible.

Thanks.

Never been a fan of the 400r. Just looks too flimsy and weak everytime i've seen it not to mention the excessive holes all over it. Top secret i vote although i really really like the look of the do luck..

I have a TopSecret one in the garage ready to go on :)

I think they are horn.

Yeah, I too am leaning towards the Topsecret one... are you going full Topsecret, e.g. sideskirts and rear pods etc or just the front bar with Mspec sideskirts or GTR ones?

Got any pictures?

PS: most of you are right...the 400R look a bit flimsy ...don't know why this is but you're right...

ive got a trust one (trial) theyre nice but only downside is the lower vent section, the section below that cracks easily. if getting a fibreglass one, get it reinforced with a few extra layers put on top (well its actually underneath)

GTR is the bizz.... think i might get a genuine one next time....

Thanks fellas...I went and did some inquiries today...

The original 400R front bars from Nismo cost over $2K each plus freight whereas Fiberglass copies just don't cut it...

The Topsecret front bar still maintains the signature R33 GTR look whilst making it a bit more stylish. Anyone here have some pictures of a Topsecret front bar on their ride that they would like to share?

Thanks all...

I think I'm leaning 80% towards the TS one now...however, like JJJSD said, the GTR one does look nice but am quite over it now.

You said you have standard M-spec side skirts? I'm a bit worried they wont match the front bar. My mate has a 400R with standard skirts, and it looks strange. The others would look even worse! Just a suggestion.

Hey mate, I got fully GTR kit at the moment.

I gotta say, the Topsecret full hit doesn't look that nice. I just like the front bar.

Oh well.

Top Secret front bar and side skirts with Nismo rear bar and pods.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
