I have a pretty common front bar (see pic) which has been damaged on the left hand side (mainly underneath). The guy I bought it from said it was a 'Nismo' bar - but I don't know if that is true. The bar had been split on the L/H upright and repaired prior to me purchasing it (a fibreglass back-fill job). However, a few bumps and scrapes (not all mine!) have resulted in it splitting (delaminating) and getting much worse. So now need a fix-up or replacement of the lower section.

My questions are:

1. Where can I get a replacement bar (or pref lower section) as I have not been able to locate this style of bar. And are they bloody expensive as I have been warned?

2. Does anybody know a Sydney repairer that can make this as good as new and fix it so it does not fall to bits if it gets another slight bump?

3. Are there any special tricks or tips for the uninitiated?

4. Is this really a Nismo bar or was my leg being pulled?

Would really appreciate your help as this is my first experience with body kits.

IF you have the $$$ i guess you could get another one from nismo.com.au but it would be cheaper to get it repaired i would think

though i have seen them for around $250 before just cant for the life of me remeber where.

put some light on the left hand side part just in front of the wheel and take a photo, will let you know what bar it is

Thanks guys, here's another shot. Looks like it's tha std item with a chin spoiler - thanks for the help. Where can I pick up a new chin spoiler from (in Sydney)?

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
