haha i tried to cut neatly using a saw... lol i need to get someone to make it a bit straighter now, then ill put mesh in... i need it repainted anyway so it doesnt bother me how bad it looks for a short time

I got quoted $500 4wks ago to have done:

* Cut number plater part out and patch the side bits.

* Mesh all across the bottom.

* Re-align FMIC.

* Fit airbox over Pod filter.

* Fit an air duct from the Pod down to the front bar.

* Respray entire front bar.

The angle grinders the way to go. I did my M spec bar with one and it came our perfect. No painting was needed. Dremel would take forever and cost a small fortune in discs and I tried the air saw but it was not making a nice clean cut and pulling off the paint. I use an Artline pen to trace where I needed to cut,,,took my biggest cut back by 2mm and then lightly use the grinder to finish it off. I also used some rolled up sand-paper around a can to curl the sections where my pipes go through the outer parts of the bar. Mesh is held in using thick blobs of Sikaflex. I gotta tell ya,,,take your time,,,don't rush it and it will look like a pro did it. A number of people including my mechanic thought I had got it all done by a pro.

I bought the Trust Kit and just let me say,,,it's unbeleivable,,,every nut,bolt,screw,spacer,bracket,,,bloody everything. Even had the replacement washer bottle and a stopper if the cars not fitted with a rear wiper. If you really want an excellent FMIC kit with everything,,,Buy Trust.

Neil, thanx for the info but ur a bit late getting to me on it...

i still need to cut some of the front bar support aswell just to fit this big fcuker ..... i got told it was only 640 wide..... but i measured it to be 670 wide....

Sorry mate,,,no pics on the net,,,I do have an SLR that takes great pics,,,but the Boss of this site has been a little slack and not built a web site for me yet.

Kamikize,,,with the trust one you have the trim two section of the electric fan as well as the plasic knob that sticks out and also trim the a small section of the chassis rails and the front bar reiforcement. Again lifes a lot easier using a angle grinder. Sounds scary but its not that bad.

Neil.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
