How does everyone mount their rear plates? I just got my replacement plates and only just noticed that my rears have the sides bent to fit. No idea how I'm gonna get the new plates to bend like it is currently and I've heard cutting them are a no-no as well...

Ideas?

cutting is a defect as is having it bent, ive had a cop warn me over mine being bent.. theres just no other way tho.. cop was stumped as to what i should do, thus why he let me off with a warning.

As for if u do go ahead and bend it, pretty sure mine were just hit with a hammer to bend them lol

i had to cut mine to fit in the import garnish. Bending would have been worse on mine as it would have blocked the side mounted number plate lights. if you bend with a vice, remember to put a cloth or something over them so the reflective crap doesnt peel off on the sharp edges

I've heard that some imports have slots cut out of the rear bar so that you don't need to cut/bend the plates to fit, wonder how hard it would be to do. I know my bar is plastic so at least it'd be easy to cut. Anyone out there have slots? If so, how was it done?

I had an issue with my front plate. The car yard a bought it from fixed it by snipping the top two corners out. I thought that I could get defected so I contacted a friend who has a friend who is a Senior Sargeant in SA Police and he said as long as the plate is visible and the rego number is clearly visible and not defaced in any way then it is ok. So I don't know. I have driven past a few police cars now close enough for them to see my plate and they haven't stopped me.

You can make a decision on that I guess

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
