Removing z20 front bar

**kemicalx** · 03-01-2006, 03:29 PM

Ey guys,
i want to mock fit my intercooler and tried to remove the bar with absolutly no luck, i found the two large bolts behind the 2 black clip out bits either side of the number plate, along with a couple of small screws in the wheel arches, the bar however still feels very tight and from past experience I'm guessing theres another 2 to 4 large bolts that need removing.

If anyone can let me know what needs removing to get to the bolts it'd greatly appreciate it,

Cheers all,
Ashlin.

are you saying im not usually needed

ok heres how it goes:

firstly you have to remove all the front lights, they are simple enough, simply undo the parkers from the top screw the pull the parker off, dont be scared it wont break its just sometimes they get stuck, i use a flathead screwdriver and pry it out...then remove the headlights, basically all visible bolts and you will be done (thats the easy bit)

Then...remove the two bolts that join the front bar to the guards in each wheel arch of the car, simple stuff, 10mm nuts if im correct, then remove the bolts that hold the black metal peice to the front bar and the headlight support 10mm's again if im not mistaken, then there is a metal joiner at the bottom of the bar (in the middle), some bars dont have this I have found...maybe mine was put there after??

Next you remove the 2 large bolts that hold the bumper to the chassis rails and you are done...shouldnt take more than 20 minutes to do this all

Also could I please have some rep, my family hasnt eaten in a week and I need to sell my flywheel...lol

i got some help from the soarer dedicated thread, just gotta whip up some brackets and my intercooler should be good to go, however you're getting some rep points anyway cos you saved me typing out the "how to" in the hope someone would give me some points lol.
