Love the front bar, I'm thinking of getting some side skirts and a rear wing for mine so if you don't want the wing, I'll take it :D Honestly I'd put the wing back on, I have seen some 34's without wings and they look pretty damn nice, but I dunno... either way I like.

Is your colour actually black or is it a dark blue like mine? I can't actually tell!

As for lowering it, I'm affraid to do it to mine, the cost versus the benefits don't make it seem like it's a good idea IMO. I drive in some parking lots and side streets with some very bad speed humps so it would worry me doing it, even on 18's.

Anyway I love the front bar, looks shit hot :D

so what's the deal with a real R34 GTR then? :D

Not sure, maybe the front bar sits lower on your car?

Or maybe the GTR has a bigger diam wheel/tyre - whats the stock tyre size on a GTT and a GTR and i can work it out for you....

Or ask Troy he'd probably know...

OzGTR02 (i think thats his sig) in Sydney has a sweet R34 GTR with all the front lips. It is the sme as yours, in that the front is crazy low even if the car itself isnt.

Paul has awesoem Weds with big dish, but last time i saw his car at Eastern he still has std suspension under it trying to work out how in the hell could he lower the thing without turning it into a street sweeper

edit...actually just found a recent photo of his car and i guess you can see what beign so low has done to it in the months since i saw his car.

while the bar looks like an exact replica or an R34 GTR bar, there may be differences in mounting points etc, and like I said the bonnet of a GTR sits higher. So probably slight differences in the height of your bar vs a GTR bar - any it may be slightly deeper than a stocker

The front tip which normally tips down has been cut, folded over and made to be like an R34 GTR bonnet.

The whole section would have been sanded back etc.

The black is undercoat/sealant to protect the area before it gets sprayed.

that's cos the car is smiling troy, shit... i'd be too if i'd look like that :thumbsup: - give a big cheesy one to the guy with the camera :ermm:

pete's right, just a protective layer before i spray it... i toyed with the idea of having the car done satin black, so a little matte, but a little shiny too... i think i ended up thinking it was a silly idea.

stock R34 GTT tyre/wheel combo's are 17", 225/45 i think?

do i have to keep the same diameter? i'm guessing 18" with 40 tryes would still be bigger than 17" 45?

yeah, it's $1200 i think, without the lower lip parts (2 sections, another couple hunge) and then you gotta spray it... will be a little disappointing when there are dodge fibreglass copies of this floating around... oh well, at least i can say i had the first one :wub: or an original one...

so according to the calulator i shouldn't change rims where the difference is greater than 3%..

must admit, didn't quite follow the site...

said 265/40/R18's were 5.3%, didn't like it...

what exactly does the site tell me?

that doesnt matter

it just affects your speedo, nothing else

its telling you the rolling diameter of the wheels

dan -

i would think that you'll want to go to 235/40/18 and 265/35/18s

same as R33GTSt

to maintain the same (similar) rolling diameter

That is correct. I have the same on my 34

Chinny - I've seen your car, my rims would fit under it easy. The only issue I saw with your bar is the height of it, dropping the car would be a b|tch.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
