Hey all,

Please leave a comment on why you made your choice.

I am leaning more towards option 2.

OPTION 1 - URAS kit with 19's. With this option the car can not be lowered much as it be too low and hard to tackle drive-ways etc. This was the look (sort of) that we had on Cefiro. Looked great but was a bit hard as a daily.

OPTION 2 - Nissan Factory option kit with 19's and dropped. Low cars look hot in many ways. Would be easier as a daily driver. Parts would be stronger then the aftermarket kit. Leaves a little more in the pocket todo something else like interior,etc

OPTION 3 - No kit with 19 or 20's and dropped. This is what I call the "300C" look. with the right colour will look grat. same advantages as above. Con is less "modified" look.

with all options I will lip/roll and pump the rear a little. Might get a boot lip or no rear spoiler at all (it has a GTT rear wing at the moment). Thinking of a rear window spoiler. Eyelids are a must. Some sort of bonnet mod: ie: small vent on a side, large vent in the centre or BA XR8 bulge in the center. Interior work is on the list but in the air as the seats are mint...just needing a full steam clean everywhere. but having saying that a nice retrim would do the trick.

thanks for your opinions.

"No kit with 19 or 20's and dropped" without QUESTION. 20s preferably...and here are my reasons;

(1) The other options are far too common

(2) More practical to be driven (without a kit)

(3) R34 sedan suits the VIP look perfectly due to the rear arches sitting so much lower than the fronts...which makes it look 'lower'

My 2c!

Cheers,

Chris

I would go the no kit and riding on rims. Just make sure they're not some shitty 7" wide wheels. :)

Not only does not having a kit look better (at times), it'll be easier for you as a daily. I just like cars which look nice and simple. Having a kit will give you attention from cops and I'm sure no one wants attention from cops.

if i went a kit

i would go uras all the way round,

or at least side and back,then use the factory nismo front(with skyline written on the front)

an as far as i no its illegal to have 20's as the r34 come out with 17's

llegaly your only able to go up 2 sizes from factory

I'd pick Option 2:

The nissan factory kits actually look good at the same time being discreet. Wheel choice will play a big part and lowered is a definate.

The Uras kit has been done to death and although looks ok will not look any good if its not lowered.

Heres mine :D

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
