Hi guys,

I just learned late last night that my R33 Skyline Sedan Series II was just hit up the ass (fortunately not too badly). Now I need to at least a rear bumper (all I could see in the dark). Does anyone know of any good places where I can find this part? Also any good importer who may be able to get it for me from Japan? Lastly, do you think it would be cheaper if i just bought an aftermarket rear bar (if there are any)? any help would be great.

thanks,

steve

I personally think it's almost impossible to get genuine part for a skyline, if you can it would cost probably more than $800. I would get an aftermarket bumper. The only thing is alot of the shops are in NSW, and this includes

But most of them mainly sell aero parts of 2 door skylines. I am not sure there are suited for 4 doors or not.

Good Luck

You can get nearly any new part for any R33 from any Nissan dealer. They know about them and can look up any part number.

Most of the time they will be able to get it from overseas in a couple of weeks. The cost is generally pretty expensive however.

That's true... but my friend did his R34 rear bumper... and was quoted $945 (not sure including shipping or not)... but he's been told to wait 2 months for it... so he just got full body kit from somewhere else for about the same price... (fitted painted in 1 week)

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
