plan before u cut!!!!

if you dont know where to cut i think u are going to struggle....just recently had one fitted.....thought of doing it myself but luckily i spoke to Mr G who came to my place to do it for $200....well spent....if i tried i would have failed and had no car until someone could help.......

if u still want to try urself have a look on youtube, there is a clip on how to do it....doesnt show it indepth but gives u something to start with...

good luck!!!

The most difficult part it where to cut the wholes in the engine bay, everything else is pretty easy..

to cut the wholes just use a drill to make a circle then chisel them out...

to cut the front bar you will need a special tool for this as its not easy to do wit a hack saw or anything..

Its worth doing yourself for the experience and a good acomplishment when finished..you can say you done it..

But for $200 to get it installed its really worth it..

Cheeers Daniel

Common sense will help you get through it, the kits do allow for some leniency so you do have to be 100% spot on (maybe 95% lol). Just use the guide in the DIY section for where to cut the hole for the piping. Once you have all the piping setup you can judge where the intercooler will go and make front bar cuts from there.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
