Yeah, I purchased the car as is in the pics.

This style of bodykit sticks out from every angle on the car, making it really fun when parking. :/

The deep dish definately gets shadowed by the kit, and the rims already protrude slightly past the standard guards.

I'd prefer to throw on a set of JDM black-spoked rims, however performance upgrades are of more importance at this point in time.

BTW: That pic was taken b4 the coilovers went in so looks better now cause its lower.

But yes oem is much better fit but as powerplay told me almost impossible to find... normally they can source anything for a price. Someone post up if u find original one and pricing.

Thought I'd put some pics of mine up.

Only difference now, is I've swapped the indicators for the clear Nismo items, and removed the licence plate cover for a much cleaner look.

i never was a big fan of snow plow style kits........bit i can see it workn on yours for s0me reason, defiently needs bigger rims

I totally agree with you, and understand where your coming from.

I'm a fan of only adding kits that enhance the natural lines of the car , if adding any at all e.g. a GTR needs nothing added to the body, already looks tough from factory IMO,... a more minimalist approach is more appealing to myself personally.,... as opposed to something hideous like a Supra with a Veilside front bar for example,... which totally detracts from the naturally curvacious front end.

The "Vertex/Uras" style kit such as mine, looks more at home on a drift car, however it has helped my car to stand out a little more,.. although that bottom lip protruding so far is a hinderance on driveways,.. thus the reason why my car will not be lowered.

19" rims are definately on my wish list, yet performance is all factory at the moment, so I'll be putting up with the exterior for some time.

OK, why not...

:D

I've never seen a body kit that I thought truly enhanced the existing lines of a Skyline.

That said, I would like a new front bar... but I've yet to find the right one as yet!

Nice model car if anyone else noticed lol.

The front bar doesn't suit your car.

Would get some pics of mine up asap. But its been at the paintshop since 10Dec.

Excuses excuses. Was going to pick up today. A worker crashed into a fence slightly most likly cracking the front bar, pick up tomorrow morning.

Nice model car if anyone else noticed lol.

The front bar doesn't suit your car.

I noticed the model car,.... it's an die-cast R32 GTR from Initial D "Night Kids", manufactured by Jada Toys. :rofl:

The front bar is the standard R34 GT-T series 2 item if I'm not mistaken. I much prefer the series 1 front bar, however I'd much prefer a series 2 model for it's a later model.

thats very clean man. if u want a good frontbar, y not look at either the normal gtt fb with a lip or the nismo one that a lot of cars have?

(Thanks for the reply & sorry for taking so long to reply, been too damned busy!)

Agreed in that I do prefer the older style FB on these - not sure what the Nismo version looks like but if anyone has a link or photo handy I'd sure appreciate it.

Also love the GTR bumper - but that sounds like an expensive proposition as IIRC you'd also need to change the bonnet?

Mind you, the GTR bonnet also looks great :(

Cheers

hey man big fan of your titanium zorst :( what brand is it?

ill put a few pic up tonight :D

My exhaust? If so, it's not titanium (I wish...)... just a 3.5" Xforce system. Only had it fitted 2 or 3 weeks ago but am seriously considering replacing the muffler with a Varex muffler as I find this one too loud for daily driving whilst too restricted with the silencer fitted. So it might be on the market shortly...

Only problem is that apparently they don't make a 3.5" version of the Varex - only a 3", I'm thinking though that it shouldnt make too much difference performance wise.

Also looking for other options in the variable department - but not much seems available in Oz, and the others I have looked at O.S are bloody expensive. If anyone knows of others available in Oz i'd love to hear about 'em. Cheers :)

Correct :D

The front bar is the standard R34 GT-T series 2 item if I'm not mistaken. I much prefer the series 1 front bar, however I'd much prefer a series 2 model for it's a later model.

Again correct - and I also prefer the series one bumper - although if I got one of those I'd also have to replace the indicator lenses with some clear ones... well, I should anyway I reckon.

BTW the number plate is only temporary as i'll be moving to Tassie shortly, will get one of the slimline type of plates as well, and trying to find a good custom plate - but all the good ones are taken of course! I really wanted just 'R34' but it looks like they don't allow so few letters/numbers combo. Also, I might move the plate away to the side to show off the intercooler...

some of my girl taken at camelot castle on the weekend :(

we really went here at the wrong time of day but still looks ok

Nice, very nice... what bumper is that, aftermarket? Also like the number plate placment, do you have a side view showing off the bumper?

Looks good with no wing - I'm undecided whether I want to remove mine or not, one day I like it, next day I'm not so sure... So I was thinking that once I've moved interstate and resettled, I might simply buy another boot and have it sprayed to match - that way I can simply change boots from time to time as the mood takes me :D

Sooo many hot 34's!! :(

I don't have any flash pics of my R34 GTR :) But here's a couple of new ones of her with the new FMIC & Coilovers thanks to GReddy :nyaanyaa:

She'll be looking alot different in a few months... The plan is all coming together very nicely now :D Can't wait!

what power did your car lay down on the rollers wayne j?

The whole kit on the white R34 is an IMPUL item

Hi Grant,

Had the car tuned at Croydon last week. (Great guys by the way)

Before I had any work done I had it run on the Dyno, it did 170KW - that's with an Xforce 3.5" turbo back system, Splitfires & Blitz panel filter - otherwise stock.

Then had a Power FC fitted, along with a FMIC and GReddy PRofec B-spec II boost controller... oh, and a new O2 sensor as well.

Did 210KW @ 14psi, so a nice improvement I thought.

Certainly a noticeable improvement in acceleration, particularly in the mid-range. Turbo kicks in much earlier than before.

Fuel economy seems same or similar... maybe a bit better than before?

It's a bit hard to tell because I've been pretty heavy with the right foot since I picked it up from CRD and filled the tank...

Also thanks for the Impul info Grant, I'll definitely look further into their front bars, cheers.

Sooo many hot 34's!! :(

I don't have any flash pics of my R34 GTR :) But here's a couple of new ones of her with the new FMIC & Coilovers thanks to GReddy :nyaanyaa:

Looks very nice! It looks fairly low - any scrubbing or other clearance problems noticed yet?

I have Nismo coilovers in mine, from what I can tell not set up as low as yours, but I've scraped the resonator on the exhaust once in my driveway already... hmm.

And the front tyres do scrape on the guards ever so slightly when at a fairly hard lock and going up a driveway... but not so badly as to be a real problem.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
