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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
