I am very interested, but would like to see a picture of it on a car to be sure.

Dont take this the wrong way, but what is the quality of the bar like? My car is beeing painted by one of the top (most fussy) painters in SA, and if it dose not sit in correctly, or isnt straight he wont touch it. (dont want to waste your time and money shipping it back to you)

I am going to pair it up with an impule bodykit, but I am unable to get a front bar at the moment (nor for the forseeable future), hence the need to look at alternatives.

PS what would it cost to ship it to Adelaide? (in the next week (2 weeks at the most))

My car is in pieces at the moment (and has been for 8months) and wedged in a corner, so you wouldn't see much.

As for the aero dynamics, the bar is designed to give a good amount of front downforce, and is also designed to go with the carbon fibre cannards we are currently finishing off.

The bar is also designed around a 600x300 intercooler, so you can receive maximum flow.

i just wanted to know where u tested its aerodynamics. as to do this properly you would need to put it on a car then put it thru a wind tunnel you would also have to put the original car in a wind tunnel to see the differences in downfoce. Only monash clayton has these facilities in australia. the wind tunnel their goes to 200 km/hr. and its very expensive to hire...

dont want to start a nerd-fight in someone elses thread - but you sir, are a goon!

No we have not tested the bar for exact aero dynamic properties. As I said we have "designed" it to give a greater amount of front down force, using the wing shapes on either side of the bar, and as I mentioned before, with the optional carbon fibre canards.

If someone on here wants to know the drag coefficeint of the car before and after the kit, they would be hard pressed to find it for any kit. This factor will also change for most cars at any rate, as it depends on may other factors as well, including ride height, and the other aero parts they have fitted to their car.

This said, most people buy body kits for purely cosmetic reasons. We are offering an alternative to the limited range of R33 kits available in Australia. There are very few companies in Australia producing NEW stuff. If you like it that's good, if you don't that's fine too. We are just offering you guy's another choice.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
