Hey i'm about to buy a type m front bumper for my r33 series 1, and was wondering if i can just unbolt the section where the no.plate goes, so it leave more air open to a front mount.......

or do i have to get a panel beater to cut off the section......?

the pic shows where im talking about

Grab the jigsaaw and cut baby cut.

Put some masking tape on top of the area's where you want to cut.

I learnt this from doing a little cabinet making.It holds the area arround the cut together better by helping to keep it from chipping away.Same as the paint will if you go balls out on it.

Then you should cover the hole with mesh and rivet it in place.When you rivet the mesh in id have the front bar off.It will then be easier for you to fold back the mesh for riveting or cable tied.

If you dont fold the mesh back it will look dodgey from the front with the exposed cut edge showing.

Now you should have the cut holes in the front bar covered up.

Dont go taking this as gospel though,and use your own common sence.

You should make a step by step guide on how you do it and post it up in the diy section.

hey iv done it to mine

<<<<<

but there is a catch, you need an engineers certificate so if a cop pulls you over, and its been engineered they wont defect you for it, i say just leave it as it is so there is less hassels, if i found that out i wouldn't of cut mine.

I'm curious aswell, as i'm about to do it

my M spec front bar is off the car at the moment , ready to cut.

problem with my car is i have a metal bar behind my front bar

i was thinking cutting that so it shows the front bar or take the whole thing out.

Let us know

Thanks

looks like im probably not going to cut the front bit out of my front bar

as i have read on another post

that reinforcement bar is a good thing to have there, supporting ya front end in a collision . One thing i thought is depending on the collision you have , ya still going to f#$k shit up.

but anyway also thinking of my insurance

it will most probably be void taking it out .

So looks like im just going to leave it.

Might get it a spray while its off .

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
