Ok Guys I am having a problem with removing the M spec front bar from my S1 r33gtst. I have removed the bolts attaching the bar to the side skirts I have removed the 3 screws under the grill and I have unattached the bar from the lining inside the guards. And unplugged the indicators. The bar still seems to be attached near the headlight area. When I look up under the headlights there is fairly large white square clip. I can’t move this but. Does this mean I need to remove the headlights to get the front bar off? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can’t take it any more this bar needs to come off! Thanks guys…also does anyone know of a book that has this type of stuff in it. I got the tech manual but it is more for mechanics than a backyard tinkerer like me. Thanks heaps guys! :D

Hey mate, i have done this anumerous times now the first time is definately the hardest the best thing to do is get a long skinney flat hear screwdriver and gently pry the clip up while pulling on the front bar, easier if you get someone to give u a hand to hold the bar, do this on both sides and the bar should come off if you have all the bolts un done.

Is it eaiser just to unbolt the reo (2 bolds either side), and the bolts either side near the guards. The whole lot comes away.

I have not done it but I have recently had a new bar fitted and the group who did it took the whole lot off then unbolted the bar from the reo.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
