Combine both those Autech bars.

The S2 is flat at the bottom, the S1 (1st pic) isn't.

I dont like how the S1 flares on the sides as it heads back to the wheel arches though.

Keep it even along the sides, have that cut out in the middle rear, THAT, on a series 2 Autech.

If its even, it'll make the whole car look better when slammed. A bumper that is uneven in edge (ie S1 Autech, Uras, Dianna, etc) looks shitty. More "boxed" shape like S2 Autech. Does that even make sense?

As Toffy said, widder to accomodate Aus plates.

Yeah it makes sense, I like the sound of it. It's simple, but combined with the larger rear plate opening will be enough to no be considered a copy.

No plastic, no care. Fuck fibreglass.

I'll just wait for a gen Autech to show up at a wrecker in japan. Or plastic weld the stock bumpers... doin my golf's ones atm... it's not that hard:

shan can weld plastic hey ? :whistling:

Easter break is gonna be balls out work on golf and ceffy. have you seen the cef lately? full sun fade on the roof. I need a fkn carport.

Everybody wants plastic.... anybody willing to put money behind their comments and help pay the $25K up front fee to make the mold?

I sure as shit don't have that kind of cash and if I did it probably wouldn't be spent on making something that potentially only 50 people over the next 3 years would buy.

We'd have more luck conducting an email spam campaign on TRA Kyoto to make a ceffy kit than getting a plastic one made here at a reasonable price.

lawl. I know a mob in China that will copy anything with no regard for copyright, and all their stuff is plastic. They make the kits for Wald.

Costs are:

USD$18,000 to set up a mould

USD$500 per kit (Front/sides/rear)

Minimum order 300 kits.

So if we get 168 buyers at $1000 a full kit we should break even. :ph34r:

That's not so bad if it was a more common car like an S13. $16.8K outlay for everything, sell the kits for $700 each and you make a profit.

Plastic welding isn't that hard , as long as you know the basics about the different types of plastic .

^^^ This.

It's actually easier than fibreglass when you get the hang of it. Hard part is matching up the different plastics.

Symmetrical Series 1 Autech.

Needs a lip IMO.

Series 2 FTW.

And on that note, how about bigger side openings....perhaps big enough to show off a small oil cooler, instead of intercooler piping? ;)

Here's a quick chop - it's far from perfect - of a cross between the Autech S1 and TBO bars. Has a lip, larger & symmetrical air intakes and no indicator holes.

Thoughts? (aside from 'learn to photoshop')

That what's I was talking about when I asked about the indicator holes - not the side ones. I've never had any issues with not running indicators in the front bar even when the front bar fell off on the street a few times & I got pulled over for it, still no defect as the bar was in the car with me and I was 'on my way to the body shop' :)

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
