A friend of ours had an mspec front bar, then swapped it for a 400R front bar, then wanted my mspec bar because he hated the 400R.

I personally don't like the look of a skyline with just a 400R front bar. The bar is lower than the rest of the car and looks yucky.

My 2 cents

400R bar is awesome it was designed by Nismo Specifically for the R33

I love mine, although i have a new one now.. 400r again :D

You need to have sideskirts with it otherwise it does look too chunky on the front

If its mounted properly its not TOO low, however you do need to be carefull on just about every driveway

It is lower than most, but thats what comes with the bar and its looks :)

The GTR style bar on my GTST is about 140mm from the ground. Its not too bad as long as you are careful. I crunched it pretty bad a few months ago but that had nothing to do with the height. Opps!

The Stock GTR is currently 200mm off the ground. Have to do something about that!

Yeah, mines pretty low too.

Just beware of underground or multi story carparks.

At least with an evil speed bump you can back up and go over at an angle or even turn around.

Not so in a carpark thats only one lane wide, with 10 cars stuck up your ass.

Oh and avoid that dirt carpark behind the Regatta. it has potholes that'll tear your bonnet off!

hahaha, yeah i found out about the reggatta car park the hard way.

My front bar is 110mm, but the problem is that my front bar is so much longer than most, it cops a hiding just driving down a bumpy road, its stupid, simple answer is that if u want a low car, cracks and scrapes are inevitable.

I got a 400R bar on my skyline as well. Not only is it sit a little to low, it also sits forward a bit more than a lot of other bars making slightly steep driveways / gutters etc a bit of an issue also.

The skyline still sits at standard hight, so i will be replacing the bar before i drop it.

leigh.

When i bought my car with the 400r front bar allready on it, it was 70 ****ing mm off the ground! When i went crusing for the first week through most of the ' lap ' spots i could not drive over the speed bumps, i could not drive into certain drive ways, i could not drive into my own driveway, i could not get into servo's or bloody anywhere. After cracking the shits and the bar a few times i got the springs done and raised to 110mm, which still i have to go up certain speed bumps and driveways on angles, which sucks big time, but most things are allright, you just have to go up slow, then it's all good. I would suggest about a 130mm ride hite, it's still pretty damn low but you should be able to navigate most things straght onwards, this is with 18's aswell. I also believe that you need some sort of bigger side kirts otherwise the bar does tend to make the car look big at the front with the stock skirts, nismo side skirts are good and look the part. Overall the 400r bar is awsome, it gives the whole of the car a much more aggresive look, it almost looks evil. Get it!

I gave my Bomex front bar a good crack when i misjudged the distance to a kerb at uni. It's the worst feeling in the world. What made it worse is that the bar is still around legal height, n bumps and anything else are no problem. Sometimes the fact that an aftermarket bar juts out a little bit more than usual can get u into trouble too. The bar is now actually cracked, but not where u can see it...just underneath. sux!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
