hi everyone,

I've got a question or two or three about the R34 kits..

I was checking out some cars and noticed the 2 different front ends on the R34's...both factory.

The first pic is the common one that most seem to have, and then the 2nd and 3rd pics is this other one, which I really like the styling of.

Does anyone know more details, like, was it definately a factory option thing, and did it have a name, and was there any others? I've noticed that there are some side skirts and a more aggressive rear too, so i guess you could pick them to go along with it if you wanted?

The bottom ones are known as Nissan Aero or Nissan Sports. That's what I have.

I've seen them referred to as a Nismo kit but I don't think that's right. I know that whenever that is said it seems to come with the big ugly wang that bolts into the rear quarters. YOU DON'T WANT THAT ONE!

There is a slight variation I've seen a couple of times where that black bit in the middle down the bottom (where it says Skyline) is the same colour as the rest of the car and the vents on the side of the front bar are different but those vents look much worse I think.

Abo is spot on.

The top one is Standard (Series 1) and the bottom two are Nissan Sports.

It's also what I have.

I have the standard rear bar, and Nissan Sports front bar, Adz has the Nissan Sports rear bar and skirts too.

adam, i know the nismo kit with the wing...and you're right I DEFINATELY DON'T WANT THAT ONE!! worst wing ever..

That black bit at the front with Skyline written on it, what's it made of?? It looks like rubber..

The whole front bar is made of black plastic (most cars are these days) and that middle bit is just not painted is all.

You could paint it if you wanted and I think I've seen a few that are but I don't know if that is factory paint or not. I could have had mine done recently when I had the respray but I just left it the way it was. There are plenty of other black bits on the car for it to go with no matter what the actual colour of the car is.

I hate the wing. When I bought my car, I asked the seller to replace the wing to the standard one :argue:. So now I have this Nissan Sports/Aero front bar, rear bar (my car is black so the 'SKYLINE' letters, which have the same colour, are not in contrast), and skirts, but with the standard R34 GT-T wing, and for me it is much better and looks cool :P, even I don't like bodykits very much.

Mine is like the first pic, personally I prefer it over the other sort, looks more aggresive. I also prefer having the chrome Skyline badging, rather then the indented wording. Although I do prefer the indicators inside the inner hotplates style of rear end, but ah well :(

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
