Theres a crack in the rear subframe on my car. Will post pics tomorrow if I can, just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this problem before? and what they did to fix it. It was suggested that the crack could be TIG welded. Couldn't find any topics on this when searching.

no problems at all welding it up, will be as good as new.

except....these subframes are very strong and I have almost never heard of a problem with one. get them to check everything really carefully to look for other problems, bad bushes, signs of towing large loads in the past etc etc

Had it welded up today, it was in one of the brackets holding the right rear lower control arm in place, all the way through on one side. Suspension shop did say they'd never seen one crack like that before.

      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.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      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
