ajdinp Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hey all, Wondering what are my options in terms of fitting a rear bar/pods Was wanting to get the rear a bit lower(and also hide a ding in the lower rear quarter) so was either thinking to go for pods - or get an M spec rear bar What is the go with the pods? Which ones will fit the R33 sedan? How much do they cost and where would i be able to source some? Thanks!

ZiAzon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 To be honest, you don't have much choice. You either go custom or you go with the "GTR Style" pods from Carmate. I haven't used Carmate before so I cannot comment on quality however, from past discussions, they aren't the best quality as fitment can be an issue.

ajdinp Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks for the reply mate, Yeah gtr style looks shocking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459154-r33-sedan-rear-barpods/#findComment-7594496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiAzon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) If you want a really nice half kit and don't mind spending the money, purchase an East Bear Front Bar, Bonnet, Rear Wing and Badges. It'll cost you a pretty penny and you will have to purchase it through the East Bear jap site. I think for the R33 GTST 4 Dr Series 2 Front Bar, Rear Wing and Badges cost just over $2,400 unpainted and not including shipping. The fitment and quality is basically perfect. EDIT: If you don't read japanese, use translate (google). You can just make out what the options are for the configurators. For example, the Front bar has options such as Painted (Factory Codes) or Unpainted, Series 1 or Series 2, Vents included or not (I assume these are the back plates for the indicators) and Crystal Indicators included or not. The Rear Wing has a variation of painting options as well as an option to have the center piece in Carbon Fibre. With the Badges, you have 2 models of Badges, the model 1 is the best looking in my opinion. As far as the Bonnet goes, it is the same as the Front Bar but you have options for Vent Covers instead. EDIT 2: The other option is to purchase through Nengun (Custom enquiry as the online store doesn't show all the products.). C-Red in Australia used to supply them however they do not anymore.

ajdinp Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks man, i see you have a sedan too - Have you gone with a body kit also? I was considering it but i already have a M-spec front bar so would only need skirts and pods, was hoping to delete the spoiler too. I keep seeing photos popping around with sedans with the pods but can't find a supplier lol Appreciate the reply Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459154-r33-sedan-rear-barpods/#findComment-7594763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiAzon Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nah, I've kept with stock. Had to replace the Series II front bar with a Series I as I had a crash. But once all my engine and suspension upgrades are completed, I'll be purchasing the East Bear kit and doing a full respray.

Lifted Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Unless someone sells something they've had custom made I don't think you'll find anything as I've been looking for quite a while as well! I've got the coupe rear pods that I'll be extending so that they fit my sedan...it's either custom or nothing at all it seems Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459154-r33-sedan-rear-barpods/#findComment-7655585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
V28VX37 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Am I right in assuming that you're already running coilovers and have dropped the rear substantially? My R34 sedan was sky high with stock suspension, the rear still feels a touch high with stock body kit but it's a lot more tolerable with a 35mm drop Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459154-r33-sedan-rear-barpods/#findComment-7655707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdinp Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yep coils and dropped a reasonable amount, since this thread was made i ended up fixing the dent on the rear quarter and decided to run with original bar and without rear pods. Would still be interested in a pair of rear pods though if it does pop up though. Seem to be hard to find!

wooa Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Dude - I think you are a very lucky punter. I have a set of rear pods for an R33 4 door. They are very very rare and I got them when I was living in the UK over 6 years ago. I will try to post some pics tomorrow. If you are interested you can PM me....

Robocop2310 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 If you choose to install rear pods on your back bar - make sure you get the corner put on real tight and filled if possible - some cheap copies don't fit well and have gaps - makes it look cheap as flimsy !

ajdinp Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) @Lifted I agree to an extent, i would rather the M Type ones over the GTR styled ones purely because it looks more cleaner and a touch more classier. I'm running 350/340 ride height on R33 GTR wheels so i think a GTR style would be over the top, if i was running more low and super dished 18" wheels however i think it would suit for sure @Wooa Thanks, already have a pair of genuine ones, i guess i forgot to mention that they are in fact for the 4 door - and getting painted as we speak I'm sure if you posted it for sale on here or facebook pages you'll get interest @Robocop I don't think i'll have any problems with fitment Robocop considering they are genuine, but noted on filling them Edited April 27, 2016 by ajdinp Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459154-r33-sedan-rear-barpods/#findComment-7718980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
