I reckon the labour to fix the fitment + fix scratches/chips and paint is gonna cost the same amount as buying a new front bumper... 

also if i get an OEM front bumper i think it would fix a lot of the issues 

 

the aftermarket bumper was bought by previous owner - everything was flush before i took the front bumper off to work on the car and washers came off (i think they were used to correct the fitment but was only a bandaid fix 😭)

 

thinking between these two if i ever replace the front bumper

It will only cost a little more to fix the existing bumper than to paint a brand new bumper. And you won't have to buy a new bumper.....

yea but the issue is every time im gonna take off the bumper the fitment is not gonna be right + the material of this isnt that great since its duraflex so its gonna have more issues with cracking in the future

 

i think my current one is this one - https://www.andysautosport.com/products/extreme_dimensions__113655.html

Looks like you might have an IPL style front bar. Super hard to get and quite rare over here in aus. Itll cost you around 2.5k just to get one shipped here if you want the same style.

 

Either replace with an OEM one or take it to a body shop that can handle fibreglass and they'll fix it up to make it fit perfectly and repair/respray.

 

Probably looking at about 1k but still better than 2.5k + painting.

but ye ill see what the quote would be - ive got an appointment with them to get my side skirts done, tried to install new ones but the previous owner used silicone to paste the current one all around 😢 and i wouldnt have the time/tools to clear it all completely

Besides the fact that they're all shit?

yes just wondering if the universal ones would fit 🤣

just need options since all the good lips are from america otherwise id have to get a custom one or just buy a cheap one off ebay thats usually like under 100 per pair for side skirts

Perhaps they fit but would they actually look worthwhile?

Honestly, what's wrong with trying to do the job properly and, as a result, once only?

yea true... just looking for options 

asked EZ Splitters for a quote on shipping so hopefully they come through this time (they ignored my dm last month 😭)

Get it all fixed by some local guys.

Looks good as is just needs to be fixed 👍

i would but im dreading the fact that it will be annoying to take it off and on - and the chances of losing the fitment (like what happened when i took it off the first time)

 

also dont know how well the flush would be since it feels like the measurements of it is shorter - since theres gaps between the fender and the bumpers itself which was filled with silicone to cover it (shown in the pics above)

 

i like the look of this better tho its not as eye soring as my current one and looks more clean 🤣

Get it fixed or try find one locally, To get a new one shipped from overseas would be really expensive. I have just tried to buy a R34 GTR bumper from Amayama and they will not ship it. They say it is an oversized item.

im already buying heaps of mods from the same store im buying from overseas so might as well chuck it in all in one order 

but yea understandable when i put the IPL bumper in the order before the shipping was 30-40% of the price but now im going stock which is x4 less than the IPL bumper 

 

i would check out the wrecking yards but i doubt theres any front bumpers intact 😐

Unfortunately I'm looking for the rear bumper, I've seen plenty front ones for sale because so many people have installed the Nismo front one but the rear is a different story. I just got to be patient.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
