Has anyone put a roof rack on a R34 four door? (ie two cross bars that attach to the top of the door frame front and back) I'd normally take the stagea when I need to carry long stuff, but am about to head off with the skyline instead.. Thus I need to be able to put some long stuff on the roof..

Went to a shop this morning, and they said that thule did make one that should fit, but it would take two weeks to get in - which is when I'm going, so I need a backup plan in case it doesn't arrive/doesn't fit! :laugh:

Anyone done it??

If you were going skiing (i realise what time of year it is) i would recommend magnetic ones. Dad was sick of buying new roof racks every 2 years when we got a new car so he got magnetic ones and just put a soft cloth between them so they didn't scratch the paint.

Did a great job.

Done. Got one - made up of two different parts ie the feet and the clamp to go under the door frame (both meant for a citron).

Wasn't cheap (about $300) but it is very solid and will do what I need. I'll post a picture if anyone wants to see.

I got roof racks from a place in Artamon, Sydney. Cost me $200 and I carry my Ocean Kayaks on it.

Was surprised to be able to pick up a roof rack catalogue and find my car on it. They are adjustable as well so I can take them off when I dont need them.

Ill find out what brand they are tonight.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
