Spunky Munky Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 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.

RBLUV Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 with the do-luck bar you need the rest of the kit to make it work top secret /endthread Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/295614-the-time-has-come-for-a-new-front-barhelp-me-decide-on-which-one/#findComment-4927843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET-25L Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 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..

Spunky Munky Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 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...

bloodsword27 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/295614-the-time-has-come-for-a-new-front-barhelp-me-decide-on-which-one/#findComment-4928773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggaz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Stock with the Vents!

Spunky Munky Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 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.

NA_Goodness Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 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.

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