Dammit, first accident ever. Luckily it was only minor. Hit the back of my friends motorbike at a roundabout, thought he was ready to go as it was relatively clear and he stopped, ended up hitting the back. His bike is basically undamaged, but it looks like I need a new front bumper.

The good news is I was going to change my front bumper next year, so I guess it's just an early upgrade. Do I need to get a Series 1 Reo for most front bumpers? I don't want to go Series 2 again. Also, can someone link me to a decently priced aftermarket bumper? I love the GTR look but from what I've seen I'll also need to change the bonnet and quarter panels.

The good news is that its just the front bumper, the better news is that your mate it ok after getting hit by 1.5 tonne of metal :P

Well that's true haha. Luckily it was only at a few km/h, and not something more serious.

I think I've also decided on the Top Secret bar as well, seems to be the closest to the GTR while not costing an arm and leg.

My car was broken into on Saturday night. Doesn't help the I left the keys in the ignition on Saturday and forgot them in there overnight.

The only taken was about $20 in coins from the centre console. I consider myself lucky.

What you need is the headlight supports. (the black bits). The reo bar, the actual big massive metal bit in the middle is the same part for series 1 and 2. The headlight supports are different. A lot of people refer to the headlight supports as "the reo bar" or part of the whole assembly, so the whole "is it the same or different" can both be answered with "Yes" depending on who you ask.

(and of course I have a front bar and reo for sale but its all series 2 ;))

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
