does any one have a plastic aftermarket frount bar

[Let Me Drive]

Befor anyone gets upset i have serched and spent many hours on the net looking and got no where.

Im after a plastic frount bumper an after market one,

I have a R33 gts-t and have the origanl M-spec one on at the moment and wish to have a plastic one due to where i live and how much abuse the origanl one can take.

So the question is where and how much to get a after market plastic frount bar in any style 400R/ trial/ do-luck any, just want to know where to get it and how much?

so if anyone has one or knows where to get one info would be great.

i have rung jetspeed and other companys but no good.

OMG U TOOL USE THE SEARCH!!! FFS OMG OMFG GG!!! lol jk

u really want a plastic one? i dont think anyone makes em anymore... most japanese brand bars are FRP - Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic

Its just as good... u can twist sideskirts around and they dont brake

If you want something like that u better have some good cash saved up.

[inark]

no wait... its not FRp... whats the other one they use that twists??

[Let Me Drive]

yes i have used the serch button as it says at the top but came up with only two threds on plastic body kits and were no use at all

plastic? :wassup:

Sorry Scott, I was in the same boat, did a bit of hunting when i was looking for a new front bar, no luck, pretty much everything is fibreglass

[inark]

nope... not everything... like i said... if u want the flexible stuff then u have to PAY a lot... ie. URAS FRP bars are on average 28,000yen... Their V system which twists without cracking is 50,000+yen...

btw - the search thing was a joke...

so yes im not to shore about the exchange rate what would that be for either one in aus dollers cos i dont want the painfull job of always haveing to get the bar repainted every time i drive home on the dirt roads even going 10km still gets chiped.

thanks inark for this

[inark]

its between 500 and 600 AUD but then u have shipping on top... which puts it near the 800-1000 mark... just for 1 front bar...

what about a stock GTR bumper? i know on the R32's the original GTR bumper is plastic and fits on a GTSt with some modification to the bar...

[Let Me Drive]

yeah but was something different and well aftermarket so does anyone know where to get one of these URAS FRP bars from ?

[inark]

generally you cant mod the original bar very easily as it sits out a fair bit more than the GTST gaurds (this is on a 32)... to fit it properly you need to fit the gaurds and indicators from a GTR like i had on mine.

you can however buy aftermarket ones made for GTSTs... however im not sure theyre made of plastic.

I would say to fit a genuine GTR bar to an R33 it would be a similar setup... gaurds, indicators and maybe even the bonnet.

you dont wanna URAS one for a 33... they look shocking

unless u want ur car lookin like a duck

there are other brands that also use similar materials... do-luck, vertex, BN Sports...

EDIT: scratch that just checked the site and it looks like BN is also FRP which is still better than the cheap copies we get here... but not as flexible

[Let Me Drive]

yep i agree so where and who do i speek to to get one of these frount bars cos im sick of talking to people like jetspeed who say "why dont you just get a fiber glass one" (i dont want a fiber glass one) so yeah

thanks inark if you have any one you know who can get one i would love to talk to them.

and $1000 is not out of the question cos it would last longer and look much better then a fiberglass one.

[inark]

i'll pm u in a sec.

Could i get a mould of my Bomex Front bar and get it remade in plastic? I think it would be better to pay a little more then keep on repairing it because of driveways. I just cracked mine on a gutter last night

[Let Me Drive]

thats why i want a plastic one not a fiberglass

dude i drive home on dirt roads for about 3kms a day, and my front bars fiberglass, and mine goes alright without huge chips and stuff, unless the roads you gotta drive down are REAL bad. plastic still gets chipped and stuff anyways, mate of mine had a plastic front bar on his lancer, still got chipped .. living in a place where there are dirt roads maybe you dont got a choice mate .

I think he means for heavier impacts like scrapping etc, FG cracks and shatters plastic is a lot more forgiving.

[inark]

plus plastic is black not white like most glass bars so when the paint does chip on a plastic bar it doesnt stand out like dogs balls... especially on a dar coloured car

[**JaR**]

true that, point taken
