If done correctly, there is no reason not have a reo bar. It should have. There again, it was built by Viva

If you use the R34 GTR genuine reo bar ($1000-1200 new approx) it pretty much bolts directly onto the stagea chassis rails and has plenty of room for a FMIC.

My car is fully insured and listed with the front end conversion. The only f/glass in the front end is the front guards. Techinally they are not adr approved, but it is possible.

MIKE, unless the R34 support is used, you have to trim the stagea support to fit the headlights

Hey Mitch, don't sell it too soon, hopefully catch up with you before xmas for a few photo's

I have decided my car is no good now for a tow vehicle as well, can not see me leaving it at the boat ramp in the dark hours. Just ordered a new Kluger for the job. Have a 3 week road trip in Jan with jayco camper.

X2- insurance company are aware of all the mods done to the front end. All genuine R34 GTR parts used- however as with Darrin the front guards are not metal, but are excellent quality! Car has no dramas getting roadworthy

My understanding is the rad support has been modified slightly for headlights. See the previous owners build thread here- you will see this was a top job using quality parts:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
