Hi all. I'm on the hunt for a new front bar for my s1 r33. I currently have a top secret bar which is in need of replacing but the problem I experienced with this particular front bar is that it scrapes quite often. My car isn't lowered at all and it appears to be from the massive lip these bars have. Any recommendations for a front bar that looks the goods and is less likely to scrape?? Cheers.

I suggest you get the Do Luck kit...looks trick as...but if you want something simple and has a classic look, get the GTR Front Bar...

Hm I don't think I'd be doing the car justice by putting a gtr front, even though they look hot. The do luck isn't too bad. No scraping problems? JCaSs1001, be weary of carmate products. I've had friends who've been caught out by some of their products before

whatever you do, dont go the do luck if your worried about height, i recently installed a do luck and it came out far and sat low, i couldnt even get up my slight inclide drive, i switched to a 400R kit and havnt regretted it, its nice and practicle, sure it might scrape here and there but my car is lowered to so it can play that field to!

Dont touch carmate, quality is crap, fitment is way off got my from bar from them

As for kits the Do-Luck, 400R, Trust all sit low and on some driveways can scrape even with a car thats not lowered,

I got the TR Front bar, fitment was alright at the front apart from under drivers light there is a bad as gap...now my car was lowered like half an inch when coilovers were put in and cant get up a driveway with that bar...

MS Sports maybe

There is the JUN Kit, but preferably dont like it

Id go Do-Luck kit but thats just me

Is your GTR bar a rea lone or a copy designed to fit the r33 joey ? Is there decent urethane stuff out there ??

Gary

its a gtr bar for gtst in fibreglass....

the stock gtr bar can be made to fit, but you may need to pull your guards a lil

my T style (like carmates) bar does scrap, especially when it was as low as i bought it... but as long as i turned on an angle it wouldnt touch...

thanx for the heads up about carmate.com ShyBoi!! ne 1seen the same bar in melbourne or another shop??? unique autos is pretty expensive by the looks of their site...

      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
