I am very interested, but would like to see a picture of it on a car to be sure.

Dont take this the wrong way, but what is the quality of the bar like? My car is beeing painted by one of the top (most fussy) painters in SA, and if it dose not sit in correctly, or isnt straight he wont touch it. (dont want to waste your time and money shipping it back to you)

I am going to pair it up with an impule bodykit, but I am unable to get a front bar at the moment (nor for the forseeable future), hence the need to look at alternatives.

PS what would it cost to ship it to Adelaide? (in the next week (2 weeks at the most))

My car is in pieces at the moment (and has been for 8months) and wedged in a corner, so you wouldn't see much.

As for the aero dynamics, the bar is designed to give a good amount of front downforce, and is also designed to go with the carbon fibre cannards we are currently finishing off.

The bar is also designed around a 600x300 intercooler, so you can receive maximum flow.

i just wanted to know where u tested its aerodynamics. as to do this properly you would need to put it on a car then put it thru a wind tunnel you would also have to put the original car in a wind tunnel to see the differences in downfoce. Only monash clayton has these facilities in australia. the wind tunnel their goes to 200 km/hr. and its very expensive to hire...

dont want to start a nerd-fight in someone elses thread - but you sir, are a goon!

No we have not tested the bar for exact aero dynamic properties. As I said we have "designed" it to give a greater amount of front down force, using the wing shapes on either side of the bar, and as I mentioned before, with the optional carbon fibre canards.

If someone on here wants to know the drag coefficeint of the car before and after the kit, they would be hard pressed to find it for any kit. This factor will also change for most cars at any rate, as it depends on may other factors as well, including ride height, and the other aero parts they have fitted to their car.

This said, most people buy body kits for purely cosmetic reasons. We are offering an alternative to the limited range of R33 kits available in Australia. There are very few companies in Australia producing NEW stuff. If you like it that's good, if you don't that's fine too. We are just offering you guy's another choice.

    • 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
