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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
