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!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
