Cheers big ears

See stock is sexy...

Make a copy of the bumper.. Tweak the mouth a bit.. Maybe turn it upside down so it doesn't "smile"

And extend the front lip / replace it with a shakotan chin spoiler...

I'd do that. Just clean with no swoop

Not a fan of the stock bar/lip at all. I can see the advantages of it on a street car though, no uber flares or superlow cop-bait features.

Quick update: Company I'm talking to is chasing down the possibility of producing a symmetrical Autech S1 kit in plastic.

i want in on this gangbang.

I get the feeling I'm going to get shot if this falls through... so i'll throw it out there. NO PROMISES!!!

Personally I'm happy with a fibreglass kit if it's not going to cost a squillon dollars and there's a mold but I'll keep everybody posted on the progress.

My only problem with the stock bars is that they bend inwards too much / become to narrow.

Compare inside bottom of bumper to where the doors / body are on the chassis.

Should atleast be inline with that. Or where the park light / indicator is where it joins the fender, straight drop downwards, rather than merge back in.

By comparison, all aftermarket kits overfix this by going bullshit wide with the flaring (ie Uras)

IMO This is why Autech is sought after, it keeps the car "stock looking" somewhat as Rowan suggested, and also squares up the shape of the body a bit without going over the top. Subtle yet very effective.

shot? no. banned? yes. :D no pressure.

lol I need plastic cos my stock front bar (no splitter) sits 2inches off the ground at the current height. Autech is lower so it'll sit nice and low. At that height fibreglass will shatter when I go over a lane marker/rock.

Instant gentleman would be sweet, but:

1) too much work to make a mould

2) doesn't really suit the square faces of the ceffy. Chaser etc are much more rounded.

Autech's the only one that goes straight down and doesn't look mad homo by flaring out. You can buy good quality fibreglass Autech kits from aeromaster.jp pretty cheap... but it's kinda pointless.

I'd like to see Autech series 1, "widened" mouth, symmetrical hole on the drivers side,

and something I've always wanted to see....... what about incorporating the factory side illumination lamps?

^^ this is a good idea , i wouldn't go too much wider with the 'mouth' probably 3-5cm each way?

Widened mouth? How big are the coolers you're running to need a widened mouth?

I'll ask about the add on lip next time we speak but i'm going with the symmetrical Autech bar for now as it's simple (which hopefully means cheap). Baby steps, IF that works out then I'll start looking at other stuff like the lip, roof spoiler and so on.

If this happens and I get one, I'm just gonna cut mine to put the lamps in... should be pretty straightforward.

Latest news: For legal reasons any design has to be different, so...... an Autech bar with a symmetrical intake would be enough. As would the TBO bar with a less pronounced full lip (doesn't recess at the mouth). Same goes with any other kit pieces.

Plastic molding is not a financially viable option - one place was happy happy to do it but wanted $25K up front to make the mold - metal molds, plastic injection. On top of that would be materials, labour, etc.

Still waiting to hear back about FRP. Fibreglass is looking like the best option at the moment.

Ideas on tweaks for these rear bars? (I've chosen these for ease of molding)

I prefer the last Autech pic. With the "bubbles" around the number plate section.

I know, all you haters hate them on the front and rear bars, but stfu, I reckon it looks better with them,

As for tweaking them, I dunno...I'll let others decide.

+1 , Make the D part beside the number plate slightly shorter (or the number plate hole bigger to accomodate adm numberplates) and make the exhaust cut out wider . AAAaaand if you look at a stock rear bar , they have a groove just under the tail lights , you could add that in?

Combine both those Autech bars.

The S2 is flat at the bottom, the S1 (1st pic) isn't.

I dont like how the S1 flares on the sides as it heads back to the wheel arches though.

Keep it even along the sides, have that cut out in the middle rear, THAT, on a series 2 Autech.

If its even, it'll make the whole car look better when slammed. A bumper that is uneven in edge (ie S1 Autech, Uras, Dianna, etc) looks shitty. More "boxed" shape like S2 Autech. Does that even make sense?

As Toffy said, widder to accomodate Aus plates.

    • 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?
