Hello Mentlegen.

So some idiot reversed into my front bar and tried to leg it last week but i got their numberplate as they drove off. So now insurance is sorting out a replacement.

My car is an Impul R33-R and the front bar was a 400R.

I no longer want the 400R style(Nor GTR-DOLUCK or TOP SECRET) as id like to go closer to Impul style so i have come up with 2 options: BN and M-Sports.

Here is what the original front bar looks like for an Impul:

BN:

M-Sports:

I have to decide by tomorrow and my thinking is that i would like the BN because it doesn't hang out as far as the M-sports(Being a beneficial trait for any R33 whether it be on Coilovers or not :closedeyes:) and has what looks to be twice the size inter-cooler mouth. But then there is the fact that the M-Sports bar has a closer style to the Impul with the size of its mouths and such.

So yeah i think i like the look of the BN better and i believe it would be a tad easier to maneuver because it doesn't hang out as far as the M-Sports would

But like you know, Whatever... ive mostly made my mind up but i just thought id see what you guys think and maybe hear some points i havent thought of yet.

Cheers guys.

Have a good one :)

Hi mate, I love my genuine Series 3 GTR front bar on my GTR so can't really say that I'm a big fan of the Impul or M-Sports style front bars on the R33. However, if I were to choose in your situation, I would personally go for the BN style as the bottom lip compliments your Impul-style sideskirts and rear bar. It looks proportional and have a similar taste to it to complete the look.

Hope that helps you decide.

Much appreciated!

Is your GTR a Series 3? Loving the best 5 speed and projector headlights? :D

Personally, id go with a factory Impul, but, if i were in your situation and wanted to go aftermarket, then im rather partial towards the M-Sports, but the BN looks alot more flowing, so long as you put the indicators/foggies in the side gaps like the factory Impul.

Yeah definitely want an Impul bar but this is a free choice so i have to take what i can get.

Cheers man! :D

No worries mate. I got a series 1 actually but recently bought a genuine series 3 front bar from someone. No projector headlights.

Definitely go BN Sports mate. Just looks more flush and seamless.

Fair enough, cheers :)

Projectors are so expensive brand new :O !

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
