hey fellow qlds

i have been searching the for sale forums and its becoming a pain in the ass.

i just bought a front mount and i now need a different front bar, as i only have the series one stocker and i dont want to cut it up, so theres not gona be much air getting to the cooler!

also, most bars forsale are like is sydney or even further, so its been a struggle trying to get one, also, alot of people advertise then never view their own bloody adds, so it makes things really effeicient.......... :bs!:

so i thought i might direct attention to the queensland section hopeing that sumone might have or know of an aftermarket front bar i could purchase for my r33.

i was chasing a gtr bar, but im open to suggestions?

if i cant find anything than i suppose i will have to go buy a new one:)

i will sell the stocker if anyone needs it aswell

thanks for the help guys, well see how this works!

AFAIK the MSpec front bars are starting to become rare because people keep cutting it up ( :Oops: ) and they are becoming harder and harder to find.

Also, GTR bars dont just fit straight onto GTS-t's as we saw a spray painter figure out. They need some slight/heavy work to make them fit.

Maybe just try some local spray painters that might have one. Or the wreckers... I know people talk about RMA a lot?

hey how much would it cost to get a front bar painted? i dont want some awsome job as the paint on the rest of the car is shit anyway, so i just want id done good enough untill i get a respray?

any places on gold coast i should go to?

rod they wont do a crappy job on the paint even if you ask them too. um i think painted and fitted they were charging around $850? please dont quote me on this because i only got the price for a full kit. the only place that i know down at the coast is Fabtech but is prolly more, you may have to ask a coastie.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
