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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
