looks good.

i was thinking of getting one of those little front lips that came on the 4 door r34's with the nismo option i think.they look good.

does anyone know how much lower they will make it, as i want to hide a bit of my intercooler thats showing underneath my car.

There you go guys.

Suspension:

Cusco Zero2e coilovers

Nismo sway bars

Cusco rear camber arms

Cusco rear toe arms

Ikeya Formula rear traction arms

Cusco Front camber arms

Cusco Front caster arms

Wheels are Work emotion XD9 18x10 +18 all round with stretched 235/40/18's

I havent done any guard mods.

Running -3.75 camber on the front and -3 degree's on the rear.

Was at monarto Howie. Had so much fun. Cant wait till the next one.

The car looks very nice luke, still dont know how you got those wheels to fit but im glad you did. You have confirmed for me that XD9's suit the 4 door just prerfectly.....ill definitely be getting them when the funds permit. Ill probably go for 18x9.5 +22 all round even though the offset and size you went for looks awesome. Please post up picks when you roll the guards.

can I get some feedback from some of you guys with very low frontbars/lips .. how much of a PITA is it for daily use ? I'm thinking of putting that JSAI ztune frontbar with the diffuser on my r34 but it's very low so I am a bit concerned about possible clearance issues. It's 10cm lower than the stock front bar so it would leave me with only max 5cm clearance and I've scraped the stock frontbar a couple of times going in/out of dodgy driveways :)

can you raise up your car?

I'm thinking about raising up my car so I can chuck a bodykit on but then I love the low rider look.

if you do get the bodykit, make sure you save alot of $$$ on the side cause it wont be like the stock bar and just leave scratchs..front kit will crack, scratch and maybe leave holes..

was looking on the jsai site and DAMN that ztuned bodykit looks so nice..tempting

you only caring about peoples opinions or you care about the law too :D

I care about both, but no so much "opinions" as "experiences". So anyway what's the law ? pretty much every r34 gtr with that vspec frontbar that I've seen has about 5cm clearance between bar and road. VB .. some people say that but others seem to think that it really depends on how well built the fibreglass bar is, I remember someone recently posting how he's punished his fibreglass frontbar quite a few times and it had never cracked due to it being well built

there's no way I am raising the car, I was actually thinking of lowering it another 2cm or so .. it just looks weird raised eg. factory look

10cm at lowest point of the car. Normally the exhaust.

Reason why I can't really put the diffuser on. It's already giving me problems with the lip.

I've hit it a few times and it's not even low.

Fiberglass or not, you'll crack it if you hit it enough

remember thats fully loaded too

i think i have about 7cm clearance with my East Bear front bumper with full lower lip/splitter. It has taken a serious beating over the couple years i've had it and i've only in the last year cracked the lower lip bit, and that's because i hit chunky tree branches at 100kph+ down near Apollo bay. If it wasn't for that trip, i reckon it would still be holding up ok.

But i dare say my front bumper and lip have survived because the parts are plastic injected moulded, not fibre glass. Yes i have i have 1 kidney, 1 lung and half a liver because of the East Bear kit but it is absolute quality and probably why it's not in a million pieces.

What's it like day to day? ALL speed humps most be approached at angles. ALL drive-ways must be approached at angles, sometimes SEVERE angles. Usually i put the window all the way down and stick my head full out so i can get as much as angle as possible, without gutter scraping etc.

If i can, i like to KNOW where i'm going before i go there. This way i know i'm not going to stop traffic whilst i'm stuck going forward and not able to reverse due to a bunch of people behind me.

I know of some car parks in the city in Melb that i cannot get into, and usually i just go to this one i KNOW I can get into and around all the different levels. Sometimes it requires a bit of a walk to get wherever, but i don't care, because i know i won't get stuck and hold up a bunch of people whilst i try and unscrew the front splitter :D (thank goodness it's never come to this)

If you take full car loads often i'd be careful, especially if you have stock or not that hard suspension. I have in the past asked people to hop out whilst in tricky spots.

I like to drive out to the bush and what not, but really, sometimes the roads don't allow it.

Giving it a fang on back roads which aren't dead smooth will result in scraping the front bumper. I have the full bilstein/whiteline shock/spring setup but at high speeds over undulating roads, i will scrape the bumper. Be careful on highly cambered roads as well.

I'm lucky in that i don't drive the car a lot because i think it would be too much to live with day-to-day driving unless the route taken didn't cause problems.

if i can think of anymore gripes, i'll add them :P

Is the JSAI kit finally finished??? the front bumper looks a little strange on the sides around the wheels...

thanks for that Daniel.

Yeah I'll probably give the JSAI front a miss .. its just too bloody low esp. if your suspension is already lowered. Looking at that pic of the JSAI frontbar it looks very low and thats on STOCK suspension height from looks of things.

Man I wish he'd make just that bottom diffuer thingy (2-3cm height tops) attachable to stock front bars ..I reckon that'd be a huge favorite with any r34 owners.

I might just get the eastbear front diffuser (8cm) and leave the suspension height as it is (about 2fingers clearance) but its exxy...about $850 for the diffuser alone. At least the EB diffuser is that fibreglass/plastic mix (not just plain fibreglass) so it should handle scraping and small hits a lot better than plain old fibreglass

Oh, i reckon the gold ones would suit much better than the silver one.

Regardless, great size.. i can't afford them haha.

+11 are still not filling the guards, yikes.

The fronts probably do right?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
