Apparently some people have had luck getting roof racks for R34s but others not so much. Can anyone direct me in regards to what specific racks to look for?

I am only interested in the full roof racks (cross bars) suitable to carry heavy loads rather than just skis etc.

Apparently Thule make some for 4 door R34s but has anyone actually installed racks on a 2 door? Can you use ones suited to another car perhaps?

I'm actually looking fro some removable ones for my R33 if there are any available I need them to hold my Snowboard, as it wont fit in the trunk, when I go up for the season anyone know if this is possible?

I haven't heard of any for an R34 4 door... I've been looking for some for ages for my snowboard.

I ended up getting a set of soft racks from ebay. But it is for light duty.

I have a large Burton board roller back to carry all my gear, do you think the soft racks can support that weight? What are they made out of exactly and how do they work?

It should be fine as long as the soft racks are spaced enough - so that it is balanced - but I do reccommend you put everything else in the boot except the snowboard and bag - just to keep the roof light and aerodynamic.

It basically works by putting the soft racks directly on your roof (one towards the front and one towards the rear), you then open your doors and loop the straps via the inside of your car - like how a bicycle helmet straps under your chin - then you tighten.

But some disadvanteges to note - make sure your roof is clean - make sure there is no grit or else the rubbing during the drive will damage your paint. I don't think they are designed for high speed, 100km/h should be ok (hence my reason for just having the snowboard and bag on the roof), just don't overtake too much faster, but of course we never go above 100km/h :(

If you have no one riding with you - I recommend putting the snowboard inside - recline the passenger seat all the way back and attach the seat belt.

Can you get onto them quickly Bryce 'cause that dead body in your cellar is getting on the nose.

thanks for the suggstions all. Yeah I need to carry big stuff every now and then. Like dead bodies!

Just try fitting 4 passengers - and - a body! that R34 boot is just too small

I am forever cutting off feet or hands trying to get them to the grave. Its doing my head in!

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
