Not sure if this is any help, but there was some pics of a yellow R34 GT-T with GTR guards going round on the forum a little while back.

I think the guy was trying to pull a shonky deal by selling it off as a GTR, but it was definately a GT-T.

The thread itself isn't relevant, but the pics might be helpful to give you a better idea on apperance and fitment etc - might be worth doing a search (or perhaps someone else remembers who can help out?)

iv always used the boys at Queen St for any pannel work, i know they pump guards, and roll them etc.... and i have found them to be reasonable, for a job i wanted done parramatta smash repairs quoted $2000 and needed the car for 2weeks, Queen St did it for $170 and took 10mins.

Genuine R34 front guards are very light. I have picked one up with one finger. I think I know someone who has a pair. Might still have them, dunno.

But.. your bonnet and front bar wont fit up to GTR guards and I think there is some issue with the radiator support panel because the GTR one is a few cm higher than the GTT one. Cheapest option would have to be pumping the stockers.

Thanks, will give them a call soon!

Ruk; the fronts need to be flared to accomodate wider rims up front and to stop any scrubbing that happens when the car is dropped :action-smiley-069:

??????

my front and rear guards are rolled inside. We fit 20's (with 255/30 tyres) on and it was barely scraping on full wheel lock at the front. I think this is more of a GTR "lookalike" case?

Stan it all depends on how wide you go.

You can fit 20s by just rolling the guards as long as you get the right offset and dont go too wide.

What size rims are you thinking of getting ?

My new rims are 18x9 front and 18x10 rear and the fronts have no problem whatsoever, even when I lower it, it should be fine. The rears however are a different story, at the current ride height it is not touching at all, even with passengers in the rear. But the actual rim itself sticks out past the guards so I plan on getting them pumped when I respray the car in a few months time.

So id say determine your rim size and offset first and go from there, you may only need to do the rears.

As Adam said before, GTR front guards will be a hassle as you may have issues with the front bar etc and also the way the bonnet lines up. If thats the case you will not only need the GTR guards, but front bar and GTR bonnet. Unless you plan to go wider than 9 inches at the front than dont bother :action-smiley-069:

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
