O/K I see. That setup would require a realitively high pressure strut to work at such a tight angle, unless the bonnet fibreglas or simmilar. I took the measurements for mine off a Camry (distance from pivot points etc)

So has anybody had a stab at a 32? im curious as i had a professional strut guy have a look at my GTR and he reckons that there isnt enough room in there for struts to fit. Tein dont sell struts for 32s. (not that ive found anyways.) Nengun only sell Teins for 33's.

Kezza, long time mate. if you get a chance to have a crack at this, can you let me know pls? i wont be getting my car back from getting the rebuild for another month.

wogboy, you're actually very right sayingn that about the angles. The tein kits are pumped up mega strong.

Arep - strut guys don't know shit (beleive it or not). When I first went onto this quest, I asked a couple of them. This one guy was an absolute wanker bogan, and was really rough, and goes oh, what we'll do, is i'll make up some brackets, come down and try it on the car, then i'll adjust the brackets, come back again, i'll finalise them, then... I was like f**k off (i lived about 75 minutes away - I'm north he's south). Any reasonable fabricator would do it on the spot.

Some other dumbass was saying nah, you only need 1 strut. He was planning on putting the strut going from the strut tower, to the front of the bonnet! the point of these is to make more room, not to make some spastic sort of contraption.

Or why don't you ask rice extreme customs to make a set for you, or do they sell em?

tein do make r32 gtr kits. that is your bestoption

yea true. this strut bloke was pretty dodge. he said it wasnt worth it cos they wont fit. there will be no room for the bonnet to close.

i do like how wogboy has his setup though. back where they are has them out of the way and no damn bonnet bar in the way when workin on the front. plus they look stock as. ill hafta look into the more when i get my car back from the rebuild. Cheers

Any progress?

only skimmed over page 2 but has anyone suggested the mounting point off a VR-VS dunny door for the ball on the gurad, they have a right angle mount with the ball hanging off that and the mount could be attached via the 1/4 panel bolt.

i am thinking of just getting some strong right angle metal and laying it over the side of the bonnet so i can attach the bonnet ball to the instead of directly to the metal.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
