Hey folks. I'm looking at getting a new front bar for my R34 GTT but just not sure what to get. My current bar I love the look of but it scrapes everywhere as it seems to be longer in the nose than other bars ive seen and i plan to lower it in 2 weeks so i'm thinking it wont be long before i smash it off... Here's how it sits now

Anyway, just wondering what standard bars there are that look good, can anyone post up pics of standard factory bars?

Also, i'm considering this front bar, which i think is a Nismo copy, http://cgi.ebay.com....#ht_1834wt_1165

It says it sits 25mm lower than a factory bar though so after i lower it say 2 inches the front bars gonna be sitting 3 inches lower than the factory bar at factory height... So yeah it's gonna scrape heaps too isn't it? Maybe i'm shit at driving or i'm a Pussy haha... How does everyone get away with having their cars "stupid low" and not scrape or are most of the fully sick 34's you see in pics set up only for either looks or for track driving?

That front bar you linked from eBay is the factory Altia kit (Nismo kit to others). I've got that kit and I personally think, all R34's should have that kit. The Nismo bar looks great tbh, I was going to get a body kit for my 34 but have grown to love the Nismo kit.

See my sig. I scrape it from time to time, but only at my gf's place since her roads are stupidly uneven. Cars that are "stupidly low" avoids scrapes by going up on an angle, depending on the height, which I'm very sure you would know. Or they live in an area with very smooth roads.

Yeah I do my best to take certain "obstacles" at the proper angle but there are a few places around town that are pretty much impossible already know to take certain routes to avoid them. My own driveway gives me the shits though.

How much lower than standard are you?

Genuine Nissan ones are relatively hard to find new. You'd be able to pick one up new from japan somewhere, but it would be stupidly priced. You could probably pick one up on ebay every now and then, for sale section here or wreckers. I'm in the process of replacing my one (only cause I'm an ass of a perfectionist) with one made with carbon fibre, currently talking to one supplier at the moment. If you're interested, I can help you once I test fit my one. Genuine, your looking at around $800+, even for seconds. You can imagine the cost of a new one.

My series 2 bar hits and my car is legal height plus the roads suck , go slow and at angle ad dont pull to far into parking blocks

My new custom bomex /top secret / my mods body kit is now rebuilt with carbon and kevlar weave to make it scrape proof and not shatter on impact , weight is similar to all carbon

just needs painted and fitted

Haha yup its a tough life, this skyline ownership lol... Mines a little worse coz the concrete sits up an inch where it meets the asphalt but yeah i sure people have far worse to deal with hey.

The first car has a longer overhang which is rhe issue

Mine is nearly flat on stock s2 34 and will grind off on just about everything if approached straight on

on angle my car heavy bracing turns the car into a teater totter pulling opposite wheels off the ground it makes people look lol

so stiff in the chassis you can floor jack 1 spot and it picks up 3 wheels at once lol

like a go kart handling flat and rides better Not so loose feeling

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
