Thinking of putting a spec m front bar on my series 1, did a google search and both the series 1.5 and spec m front bumpers look the same? Are they the same thing or are people naming bumpers wrong? I mainly wanted to know if it is much lower to the ground then the series 1 bumper and if anyone knows what it looks like with standard series 1 side skirts?

Is this what you are talking about? I had this on my S1 and as far as I can tell its no different to the S1.5 front bumper

89cal has standard side skirts, yours doesn't have any side skirts on it, that's just the body. His front bar is M spec/1.5 (same thing) and yours appears to be standard S1 base model.

haha...noobs..

actually I got a guy (wont say who but everybody who frequents FI section knows him) who always asks me where i got my special rare front bumper, cause hes never seen one like that..its stock S1...:laugh:

Ok thankyou for finally answering my question about whether M spec and S1.5 was the same bar! Initially I thought that mine just had small side skirts, I now realise it has none. Did side skirts come standard with S1.5?

Yeah well i've been trying to source another series 1 bumper because I quite like them and mine is effed (dad crashed my car, believe it or not! ) but there are none around! all I can source is the series 1.5 bumper so I bought one the other day and will see how it looks without side skirts in a week once the rest of the car is fixed :(

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
