I got some for my GTR - $295 from Roof Carrier Systems in Camberwell. Brand new - custom made to fit using Thule components.

Fit 2x bike carriers/board carriers very nicely :P

Re: Snow season... slightly OT, but roofracks are easy - you ever tried finding chains for 18x10 wheels! Hens teeth are easier. Lucky I still have the Lada :(

Russ: Re: OT - Niva & GTR

After getting the Nissan violated - it was described to me as having my young Japanese girlfriend raped, and having to return to the Russian mail-order-bride for solace :)

Here is my favourite 'family photo':

this is up for auction here

they're goin for 4000Y which is roughly $55, but expect to have paid 3 times that value to get it in your hands (taxes, commissions, postage etc)

I'll look for some roof racks

Found a roof rack.

Its actually a ski carrier (but I guess that's a roof rack) Its 1000Y or $13 (expect to pay about a $100 to have it in ya hands).

On auction here, but it finishes in roughly 23 hours. So betta hurry :P

PS: its off a 4 door r33 so dunno how it'll be on yours, guess its the same coz the roof is the same.

  • 1 month later...

OK - just under 3 months and I get my car back :D Yay!

Here are promised photos of Thule racks:

Just been to IKEA

Couldn't be bothered removing the bike carriers before loading up with a new desk and coffee table :)

Pads on roof are soft rubber, clamping arms are plastic-coated.

Racks and bike carriers all made by Thule.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
