Not sure if this is any help, but there was some pics of a yellow R34 GT-T with GTR guards going round on the forum a little while back.

I think the guy was trying to pull a shonky deal by selling it off as a GTR, but it was definately a GT-T.

The thread itself isn't relevant, but the pics might be helpful to give you a better idea on apperance and fitment etc - might be worth doing a search (or perhaps someone else remembers who can help out?)

iv always used the boys at Queen St for any pannel work, i know they pump guards, and roll them etc.... and i have found them to be reasonable, for a job i wanted done parramatta smash repairs quoted $2000 and needed the car for 2weeks, Queen St did it for $170 and took 10mins.

Genuine R34 front guards are very light. I have picked one up with one finger. I think I know someone who has a pair. Might still have them, dunno.

But.. your bonnet and front bar wont fit up to GTR guards and I think there is some issue with the radiator support panel because the GTR one is a few cm higher than the GTT one. Cheapest option would have to be pumping the stockers.

Thanks, will give them a call soon!

Ruk; the fronts need to be flared to accomodate wider rims up front and to stop any scrubbing that happens when the car is dropped :action-smiley-069:

??????

my front and rear guards are rolled inside. We fit 20's (with 255/30 tyres) on and it was barely scraping on full wheel lock at the front. I think this is more of a GTR "lookalike" case?

Stan it all depends on how wide you go.

You can fit 20s by just rolling the guards as long as you get the right offset and dont go too wide.

What size rims are you thinking of getting ?

My new rims are 18x9 front and 18x10 rear and the fronts have no problem whatsoever, even when I lower it, it should be fine. The rears however are a different story, at the current ride height it is not touching at all, even with passengers in the rear. But the actual rim itself sticks out past the guards so I plan on getting them pumped when I respray the car in a few months time.

So id say determine your rim size and offset first and go from there, you may only need to do the rears.

As Adam said before, GTR front guards will be a hassle as you may have issues with the front bar etc and also the way the bonnet lines up. If thats the case you will not only need the GTR guards, but front bar and GTR bonnet. Unless you plan to go wider than 9 inches at the front than dont bother :action-smiley-069:

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
