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 ;))

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
