Just got my front bar painted.

Wasn't too keen on being able to see the intercooler pipes, but I dont mind them now that its all together. Next on the list is some clear indicators.

the fitment is so neat with that cooler that it looks awesome..I like the cheeky little polished pipe sticking out..no need to paint it..

So was the bar new or second hand..would look even better with some 400r skirts

the lights have had a sand and polish not too long ago, spend 30mins on yours and they should come up the same.

The cooler does fit pretty neat in there, if a GTR core was used i dont think there would be any need to cut the indicator mounts either... I was thinking 400R skirts the other day just to keep the height even around the car, but im not too fussed about that at the moment.

As for where to find the bar, just keep an eye out. I found one about 8 months ago but was too late and it was gone before I could get to it, this has been the first one Ive found since then.....

WOW. Looks insanely good. God, now I feel like I wasted my time on my 4 door front end conversion lol!

yeah i reckon copies of this bar could sell like hotcakes....

I know i cannot find a bar for a 33 that i like really, all the aftermarket ones are too bulky or too busy..most of them make the 33 look like ass..yet the s series cars and even the 32 and 34 have a nice selection of bars that fit well and look almost factory..

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
