Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I am looking to get a Trust front bar and Explosive side skirts, but because of my dual cannons, I am having trouble finding a rear bar that is not only going to make me satisfied, but fit the rest of the kit. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not interested in removing one of the cannons, even though it is a weird look, it has grown on me and I like it, even if it is a bit rice :P

My advice to you is a veilside combat rear bar, or pretty much any rear bar with the the right modifications it will accomadate the duals.

Which bars are you looking at getting?

TR front bar and explosive side skirts, taking the wing off and putting either a stelth or 'drift' wing on it.

I just don't want to have to cut into a bar and make it look home made. Looks like I am going to have to get something custom made.

I have a Veilside rear bar on mine ready for twin exhausts to be fitted, it required a hole to be cut in the rear bar on the right hand side, as well as removing the spare wheel and cutting out a large section of the metal under it in order to make room for the muffler to line up with the bar properly.

how did you go with the engineering of such a modification to the crumple zone in the rear of the car?

I wouldn't think it would be an issue. The reo etc are untouched, just the thin metal of the spare wheel well cut and a box section welded in it's place.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
