Aww thanks for the warm welcome 

so I purchased an aftermarket front bumper as I kinda…. Umm let’s just say had a minor mishap with my current one, however the one I purchased is just waaaay to low, I bottom out on almost everything.. I don’t know if there’s some way I can lift the front end or do I need to get bigger tyres? I hope that makes sense?? 
 

just wanna know… is it doable without making the car look wak with the front end higher?

You need to get higher profile tyres, or if your car is lowered (which it looks like it might be), put it back to standard height. Yes it won't look as low and sleek, but alas, you will be able to drive without being terrified of scraping on everything.

Pro tip for your next bumper bar - source a urethane front bar. You basically have to bring one in from the USA, and it will cost a lot, but they are significantly more flexible and forgiving. I killed 3 aftermarket fibreglass front bars before I learnt this tip, and then got a Nismo style urethane and it was amazing and unkillable. You can literally fold them in half and they spring back to their normal shape.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
