I've been pleasantly surprised with my lack of clearance issues, totally different from my R33 mspec front bar that took a beating every week.

I'm stock ride height though.

Must be a lot of GTT's over in Japan in wrecking yards with undamaged painted factory kits? Challenging bit is to find a reputable supplier and organise a container I guess.

I believe the red one is the standard nissan aero kit front bar....

On the topic of badging...does any R34 owner have all gold badging on theirs?? "S" on bonnet, GT on the sides and gold skyline letters at the rear boot....reason i'm asking is mine came with this...was wondering if it was a factory option or someone went to a lot of trouble to plate everything gold! :)

The red one is the Nissan Aero Kit. The silver one is the Impul Kit. I have one of those red ones from carmate sitting in my garage.

@ silver_r34_gt-t, check these links out:

I have an original R34 CWest kit.

After a couple of years I wanted to get the front bar repainted, so I bought a Cwest copy off carmate to put in place whilst I got the old original one redone.

All I can say is that the one off carmate, is not half as good as the original. It did not align perfectly and the finish was not the greatest.

Not saying its not worth the 450 that I paid though, in fact most people could not, would not tell the difference. Its just not as good as an original is all I am trying to say.

if you've got the coin to spare...get the east bear GTR lookalike kit for the GTT...need to get the bonnet to go with it too...

thats what i was planning to get, already bought the east bear bonnet mole but short of cash now

east bear gtr style carbon bonnet $1450 and front lip $550: http://www.hkskylineclub.com/new/forum_pos...p?TID=3888&PN=1

impul side skirts and rear bumper ($550 from motorkitz): http://www.impul.co.jp/garage/products_garage/R34_535S.htm

what do u guys reckon?

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
