So my plates were delivered today, and everything was great, until I see that they won't fit in the recess at the rear, and not in the curve at the front. I could bend them, but I'm not spending that amount on something that I'll do a home job on and I've grown quite attached to the casing... :shy:

So, case and point, does anybody know where I can get some mounting brackets so I can start cruising around with the cars new identity... :P

you will probably need to bend them or cut them for the rear unless you wanted to go to the trouble of getting your rear bar modifyed to suit the plates, these cars were designed for jap plates not aussie ones and jap ones are pretty much square

You dont have to bend shit .. Goto the hardware shop and buy some 5mm thick spacer washers.. Use two or three whatever to make it sit out..

Buy a nice licence plate surround and bolt it all in.. Use longer screws than before obviously and use a bolt on the rear with a washer for good measure..

Bending what a waste..

yeh but one the rear you'd need to space them out quite a bit and they cover the reverse lights a bit, dont know if it'd look that good sticking out that far and overlapping the reverse lights, i mean in the end its up to you, your car so if you like it that way then its cool

on my car the plates 'just' touch the reverse lights, no big overlap, no bent plates. Even fit some plate frames on it too, Just gotta find the right size spacers

besy pic I could find on my comp, but you can sort of get the idea

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
