Well, i got it done. Borrowed a roller from my mate and used it successfully to do the right hand side, but then the fkn thing kept breaking on me. Just keep breaking and stripping the thread on the bolts that came with it, so wend and bought some decent ones instead of the cheap chinese shitty ones that came with it. As it was my first time doing it, it didnt come out amazing but im happy enough, then the heat gun broke and i decided to try and do the left hand side anyway. Bad idea, the paint cracked straight away and looks pretty crappy, but the flare was much better.

All in all im prety happy with how its sits just a bit shitty that i cracked the paint, but it was my first time so meh. Will get some better pics up tomorrow!

mate looks good tho

dude that looks sick. nice and low :thumbsup:

Cheers guys, came out allright for my first time i reckon

have you driven it yet? Whats the scrubbing like if any? Looks pretty sweet though

Nah not yet mate, it does scrub a little though, the guard roller couldnt do some parts of the wheel arch so i have to give it the once over with the hammer haha

Good effort. Make sure you give the inner guard skin way up in the wheel arch some hammer lovin' too.

Like right up the very top, or about 5cm up the guard there is a slight bump in the guard skin that come out, can i hammer that flat as well or will it f**k the outside of the guard?

I'd raise it just a tad and chuck in some neg camber, there is slight adjustment standard, I think it's 3 degrees or something? Other then that looks pretty neat, just stay clear from the popo

Do you actually plan on driving it around like that?

Have to drive it like that at least once :P

Okay, do you adjust it on the camber arm itself or is it somewhere on the hub? Will have a look tomorrow.

SA is a brutal state when it comes to having cars looking cool like that mate. Looks awesome, goodluck with keeping it defect free if driven like that :D

Very true Krish and unfortunately, the very 1st cop that sees it will throw the book at it.

One thing that you should be aware of Josh, displaying your plates on here can get you a letter in the post asking demanding you present your car for full inspection

Thanks pete i was flamed for attempting to provide guidance but im old and crusty lol

Sapol will love it ,

stance and adelaide roads are a mismatch of potholes and tearing you car apart

Good luck driving it in any form or passengers in it

Tax money hard at work ya right Fix the potholes

Ahh okay thanks pete, will keep that in mind in future posts.

I have driven it around at this height for the last 10 months, and the police have given zero f**ks about it, i have never been pulled over in those 10 months. That said, i do understand the second they do pull me over, i'm pretty well screwed haha. I don't live in Adelaide, so those roads aren't of any concern to me :)

I can't believe you just said 'stanced'.

Jesus.

Drive it around a little bit, then look under the arches. If you see a clean spot, hit it. Use some caution, don't go demolishing shit with a 20lb hammer, and it'll be fine.

    • 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
