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!!

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
