There is a bulbar for sale near me for a series 4. I'm just wondering if it will fit mine which I think is a series 5 (Only just got it)
So it's this bulbar,
on this car,
Thanks in advance![]()

Series 4 to current are Identical. View his car, if its the same shape then it will bolt straight on. The flares are the same.
The Series 3 is the last of the older shape.
Don't pay too much for that bud, a dime a dozen to be honest. If it was Stella then you will pay good money but plenty of people ripping them off to fit a decent bar.
The Alloy bar will provide you with very little added protection, in an animal strike like a Kangaroo you will still be rendered undrivable.
Go to your local ARB and see what they have lying about around the back.
How much does he want for it?
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks MudRunner. I'm really only wanting it to mount spotlights at the moment. Not planning on doing any driving where we might be hitting kangaroos at high speeds, nowhere we don't take our other cars without roobars anyway. He's asking $300 for it but it's still a bit of a drive from here so I will want it a bit cheaper to make it worth it for me.
Ok, so I ended up finding a reasonable priced steel bull bar not too far away from me. Genuine Nissan with a spot for a winch.
Much better than the alloy ones I was looking at. Thanks for the advice everyone.
I was very surprised at how easy it was to put on. After the initial assembly on Saturday night it only took about 2-2.5 hrs to fit by myself.
Very happy with the result![]()

Alloy are ok, irrespective of what many say.......

Agree alloy bars like from TJM are ok
Factory alloy is generally cheap n nasty and not very effective in an animal strike
