The roads around my way are a joke.

Cant even get in the servos around here as it sits.

I had a EiBach lowering kit but sold it ;)

cheers for the kind words guys

I got the Eibach springs on mate, car looks great - Ill have to get some new pics up as soon as it stops raining so I can wash it :down:

Hey guys,

Have added a couple of bits to the car. Took some photos with the iPhone, so excuse the quality of the pics:

• CF Rear Diffuser

• US Battery Cover (to cover the right side of our engine bay)

• CF Hood Hampers

• Eyelids

The USA G35 forums say that the cheapest version on Ebay is a POS, but the more expensive one is rather good fitment and look. From memory the cheap one is around US$200 + shipping and the god one is US$400 + shipping.

After a good two months of waiting for my order to be shipped. My Inven front bumper for the coupe finally arrived from the U.S. Will post pics as soon as its fitted with my impul sides.

good to hear. :thumbsup:

I would have loved to use them but have trouble at the stock hight.

Cant wait to see some pics

^^^ looks great .... what are the width and offset of your wheels?

thanks for the comments.

19 x 9 +22 (F) on 245/35R19

19 x 10 +22 ® on 275/35R19

no rubbing but then again i haven't dropped it and i travel light. read somewhere here that the max width at the rears to avoid rubbing was 9.5" at +22 but the extra rim depth was too tempting.

Thanks for the info. I bought my LMGT4s in 9.5 +20 and the fronts are perfect but the offset on the rear is sadly lacking. Once I lowered the car it severely cambered in (and looked very shite), so I got some SPC rear camber arms, and the alignment workshop brought the camber from 4 degrees back to about 1.5 degrees. Looks a bit better now, but I definitely agree with your 10 +22s on the rear - I am going to buy a pair of 9.5 +12 or 10 +15s for the rear of my car to make it look better. In fact I am going to try some 20mm bolt-ons for a car show this weekend, so we will see how she runs with 9.5 +0 :wacko: - I will post pics next week. Note too I am running a stretched 215 on the front and 235 on the rear (I like the drift look), so will get no rubbing.

Nice wheels :wacko:

My 9.5 +18 rears, wearing 275 wide tyres, were VERY close to scrubbing. In fact one of them was scrubbing until i had the camber adjusted (using the factory camber bolt).

I've since had my guards rolled and dropped the car even lower. I'm now suffering the same problem as nightcrawler. It has caused additional camber and the wheels tuck-in too much, looking much crapper than before.

My plan of attack is to eventually fit some spacers and slightly stretched tyres (245 maybe). Night crawler, if you could throw up some pictures of your setup with 20mm spacers, it would be really appreciated.

no prob. your set up looks great judging from the track pics you posted and the wheels look hot. front is perfect already and putting on the spacers at the rear should bring it out to match it. looking forward to the pics.

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
