front bar yes. rear bar no. i only got the front bar because i thought it was what is refered to as a type m front bar (well a fibreglass copy of 1 anyway). i bought it over the phone and i didn't see it till the courier dropped it off. i only had the crappy series 1 front bar. and i was doing my FMIC install that weekend and this was going to look better with a cooler in it. that and i only paid $110 for it. it was damaged, thats why i got it cheap. turned out to be a copy of a bomex front bar.

i was supposed to be getting a set of skirts and pods made by a guy i know thats a fibreglasser by trade (was going to take a mold off another skyline and just make a copy for me), but that hasn't happened (been waiting a few months).

and yes the car does look kinda gumby having on the front bar on. but it does look better than the old front bar, and isn't much lower than a stock bar. i only have stock wheels on it too, since all of my money has been going into making it go faster before i make it look bling. but i want some skirts to make it look a little bit nicer.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..

      Uniclutch install vid, RB Track edition.   Highlight reel is very drive able, not noisy but still heavy with the clutch master he has.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.
