My mates GTR had front brake ducts that ran from the holes in the bottom lip back to the wheel well, and they attached to the plastic wheel well liner. My car doesnt have them, but he thought they were standard. I couldnt see them in the workshop manual - are they standard? If not, where can i get them from?

i remember asking this question a few years ago... standard, and bloody expensive for new ones!

wreckers don't have them as they're usually destroyed the first time racer boy parks up against a kerb unfortunately.

Keen on an alloy version as a group buy maybe?

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone know where you may be able to get some extra ducting to connect Nissan's ducts to the wheel hub/brake rotor?

Billion sells that, nengun has the complete range listed

muhahaha, I have a nice mint condition set sitting here. :D

sadly most 32s have them missing. but they are definitely worthwhile. I would say better than alloy steve. alloy is rigid. these can bend and flex which is good, and if they come off or break the alloy ones won't do any favours to your tyres or other bits, the factory ones are nice soft plastic/rubber. good gear if you can find them as they perfectly attach to the two ducts in the front lip. :(

Yeah i agree they're better if they break, but for the design id pay $100 for both as they dont wrap around far enough IMO

Ill be getting a price on a few different styles, one of which will end with a circular ending so ducting can be attached easily :D

Well it looks like they're not, $189 each - thats right, EACH!!!!!

Egad! That's nasty.

Yep - I'm in for a group buy 100%. Otherwise i'll just get some gal iron and tinsnips. It doesnt need to be too pretty down there.

BTW - John from Unique Autos "We are in final stage of big Nismo style brake air deflectors" for R32 GTRs (the gtst ones have been available for ages) - expects to have something ready in about a month. Maybe a perfect compliment for these. Easier that trying to fit ducting around the wheel.

Shouldnt be a problem, just dont use anything too thick so they can crumple/flex if required.

BTW are they U shaped - ie they dont have a top, which is instead supplied by the wheel guard?

If you want the best way. Get some std ones and copy them in thin fibreglass. Won't damage your car when they fall off, will flex a little before breaking and cheap to make. Say $10 pair and 30 min work

I have some here. Might have a go at copies. As Beer baron said they are hard to get in GC.

Also made some castor rod deflectors out of cardboard as a mould and then fibreglassed over them. They work awesome and were a arvo's work. Cheap too.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
