I will be installing a FMIC soon but i am not too sure what to do about the stock bar that will block airflow.

What have others done to this type of bar?

Would it be better to buy a new front end or chop the one i have?

Here is a pic anyway

The bar is in the centre where the number plate hangs off

chop chop the original its easy and cut it out neatly and it looks fine ;)

heres a piccy of my stagea bumper i chopped which was fully covered in the centre area for the number plate but i removed it all and cut the support bar down behind it also :D

give it a go

air going into your front bar ..at speed.... is pretty lazy it'll go around things to get past....

fit your cooler.. see how it goes.. if your really that concerned about the exposure its getting cut up the bar or get an aftermarket one with a big inlet

thats just my opinion. coz if u can see it ..the cops can see it.

if anything ..personally i would firstly move your number plate up (drill some lower holes on the plate and screw itback in place)..and probably to start with ..remove that rib in the middle...should be fine

take the number plate off. drill holes on the bottom of the number plate, make sure they line up with the original holes just at the bottom, fit number plate back on and screw it in with the bottom holes instead of the top ones.

Have a look at Al's stock frontbar for a good example IMO.

The centre bar has been chopped off, and the panel guy used plastic from the removed section to cover the C cutout section, smooth it out and repaint the

whole bar. It looks factory and not like a DIY chop off job.

just like what rs73 said, we cut out centre bar and plastic welded the C section... also we extended the depth of the intercooler hole about 4cm to give it a better look, but if you do this (extend the depth of the hole) you will need to position the intercooler a little further back towards the radiator, and by doing this you will need to have custom cooler pipes...

as i was getting custom piping anyway i did it so i could have a different look

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
