Heres a link to one of the companys that do urethane injection. you basically drill some holes in your side sills and b pillars and pour in the mixture that hardens inside and stiffens up the chassis.

these guys sell it for 19000yen and another 50000 to 60000yen for putting it in your car, or you can DIY but if you make a mistake while putting it in the sills it is impossible to remove.

All the positive reviews ive read are from people who've used it and had success. All the negative reviews are from people that havent tried but point out all the things that could potentially go wrong with it

lol, well I've done it but got no feedback yet, the car is awhile away from the track...we just used boring old heatproof expanding foam. Sills, A and B pillar and chassis rail (still to go)

did it on the ae86 without any other forms of bracing (only because it was gonna be acid dipped) as a test.

Flex was about 10mm along the B pillar with a jack on full height under the engine crossmember without any form of bracing.

with the urathane expanding foam in the door rails flex was 6mm.

with the roll cage mounted, the flex was 1mm.

I didn't find it doing wonders for the car, a good solid rollcage is much better IMHO. If you are gonna use it, make sure its not a polymer (urathane has many different variants) that absolbs moisture... although the whole idea of expanding foam is the air bubbles in it, which could be home to condensation.

obviously welding it would provide more strength and a permenant fixture...however if it needs to come out at somestage then its gonna be a bitch. Bolting might be the case then. Personally i would weld it in, but im a fabricator so im completely biased haha.

Sorry Duncan, never answered. I've never done it and find the concept difficult to explain in the lack of structural improvement it will offer other than crush resistance. A cage and seam welding/added stiffening is the only solution.

The only ways to measure a real difference are to use a calibrated floor and point measure device or a chassis dyno. In a sloppy car it may help, but there are other more realistic ways of dealing with sloppiness.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
