ill be fitting it either tonight or tomoz nyt. from the looks of it and the measurements that i took off my stock bar i got at home, its pretty close. wont need much to fit perfect. with all the interest in kits if we source a good supplier we might even be able to organise discount prices for forum members but still 220 for most of his bars is cheap and a full kit for 520 plus postage. dont get much cheaper

it is very tuff bar. bought 2-3mm thick not just some flimzy thing. no dips around head lights but it is visible around wheel wells where he has hi filled to cover slight imperfections when being removed from mould but hey its been cleaned up already for me. has some slight little marks on it not in obvious spots but a small amount of hi fill and a sand and ready to prime.

IMHO it is great. highly recommend any1 to purchase his kits if they all have the quality that mine does and also fittment, still havent put it on. will do either later tonight or tomoz.

I've seen a few bodykits in my time - trust me, what you bought is deefinitely at least medium to high-class quality... look at how smooth the texture is and there are no air-bobbles etc... what you have done is saved money for other mods.... well done... only 2 things now... fitment... how does it fit... secondly... is it heavy-duty or will it crack in a couple of months...

But seems great....

You got a link to one of the dude's items??

ground clearance is about the same. i think there is about 3mm difference with the trial sitting slightly lower.

to get a shop to fit, prime and spray probably 400-500. to do your self is easy, just a light rub with 600grit wet/dry, hit it with a primer, you can by them in a can now days from supercheap, rub again with a 800 or finer grit to ensure no marking and hand over to a panel beater to spray. then like 200-250. with fitting its a matter or drilling 4 holes on the side for the gaurds and 2 at the front section for under the grill.

its definitly of a more heavy duty bar, very strong and not flimsy. ill post once i get it fitted today, am working atm but later me and a mate are doing the fittment. easy.

link foir this guys other items: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-new-Trial-Rea...1QQcmdZViewItem

thats for his trial rear bars, but when in there go to view other items from seller and it will have more. or other wise send him an email and he can let you know what he has in stock.

ok guys

i fitted the front bar last nyt and too my shock it fit pretty well. all that was needed for me to do was to drill 6 holes, normal mounting points for bar and it will need a small packer under each headlight to minimize the gap, and cooler hole deepened.

around the guards was perfect. it sat real good. no manipulation needed. indicators sat in the holes correctly and yeh was a good fit. cant forget to mention tho, i had to cut some of the ducting at the back for the cooler to squeese in, it is evident that the bar was designed to be mounted without the front mount and only the standard side mount. no biggy tho, angle grinderworked good.

oh yeh, with regards to d1 slots in the bar, i had to remove some of the reo to allow them to sit right but thats necessary even with the gtr style bar.

and if anyone gets these guys front bars and needs a hand with fittment, im more than happy to help out.

Thanks Cheez Michael Michaels (hi hi hi .... Blades of Glory)... hi hi...

Wow, it looks really nice... from what I can see - the quality is pretty good bro, good job!! You've spent pretty much half of what you were suppose to spend on the bar, paint and fitting - more money for other mods... doesn't it feel good when you spend money well and wisely? Good on ya bro... thanks for offering to help out... Might drop you a PM soon as I might get a new front bar...

Regards matey!!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
