Hi Guys,

Hopefully an easy one, I've just picked up my car from the crash repairer and amongst other things wrong the rear bar is different. In the pic the right bar is my original one on a 1996 M Spec R33 gtst, on the right is what the crash shop has put on. You can see around the exhaust is clearly different as well as the shaping of the bump.

Does anyone know what this new rear bar could be off? a non m-spec maybe?

You can see the exhaust cut out is larger on the original bar, also the styling is slightly different.

I've had a quick glance at others driving around and the new bar certainly is different, however I'd like to know what model it is from so I have a better leg to stand on.

hrmm from the pics look the same could be different when you see it in person. As far as I was aware the only difference with the r33 rear bars was if you have the model with sideskirts they have additional rear pods on the rear bar but I thought the actual rear bar was the same.

Perhaps a pic that includes a bit more...

Cutout around the exhaust on the original bar (left) appears to be over all larger & rounder, certainly taller, on the new one (right) you can see the bar is practically sitting on my exhaust due to this smaller cut out, less clearance all around. 

Maybe I'm being a bit pedantic :(  I'll try and park it next to a few other 33's to compare I guess.

i think due to the damaged bar deforming after impact it looks different but its most probably the exact same style bar.

Could very well be, unfortunately I don't seem to have any photos of the other side. A few people have pointed out the bar seems to be mounted about half an inch too low, plus theres unrepaired damage to metal work behind the bar along with a list of other little things that have been "overlooked"

Car goes back in next week to hopefully be fixed properly.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
