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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
