more pics.

the roof doesnt have a cross in it mainly due to the fact i wont be able to fit in it since im a tall bastard. so having cage steel hitting helmet is not ideal. the next best we could do was a single bar down the centre, tied in with the roof.

also added some more rear bars for extra strength. rear stays are tied to the strut towers for max strength.

yeah its looking that way... bit of a bitch to get ducting through the two cages legs if i choose the quarter window path haha. if i do it though therear 1/4's im gonna need some custom fibreglass work done... got any suggestions?

Yea I know how to get the fiberglass work done but the problem is it costs a few hundred to make the moulds and I don't have any left lol. Might be cheaper to fabricate it from sheet metal, rivets and auto glue.

i might do a boot intake instead... might be more effective i think



pretty much done in the rear in terms of tube work.. there's rear 1/4 reinforcement, a jacking point, a rear bash bar, the frame for rad all done. just need to do ducting and fans.

^looks like much fun was had

why not feed air form the boot lid, then just thermo fans

The air flow over the boot will actually make it harder to suck air through, vents in the quarter glass or panels actually work a little like an air ram getting more air to the rad.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
