looks good.

i was thinking of getting one of those little front lips that came on the 4 door r34's with the nismo option i think.they look good.

does anyone know how much lower they will make it, as i want to hide a bit of my intercooler thats showing underneath my car.

There you go guys.

Suspension:

Cusco Zero2e coilovers

Nismo sway bars

Cusco rear camber arms

Cusco rear toe arms

Ikeya Formula rear traction arms

Cusco Front camber arms

Cusco Front caster arms

Wheels are Work emotion XD9 18x10 +18 all round with stretched 235/40/18's

I havent done any guard mods.

Running -3.75 camber on the front and -3 degree's on the rear.

Was at monarto Howie. Had so much fun. Cant wait till the next one.

The car looks very nice luke, still dont know how you got those wheels to fit but im glad you did. You have confirmed for me that XD9's suit the 4 door just prerfectly.....ill definitely be getting them when the funds permit. Ill probably go for 18x9.5 +22 all round even though the offset and size you went for looks awesome. Please post up picks when you roll the guards.

can I get some feedback from some of you guys with very low frontbars/lips .. how much of a PITA is it for daily use ? I'm thinking of putting that JSAI ztune frontbar with the diffuser on my r34 but it's very low so I am a bit concerned about possible clearance issues. It's 10cm lower than the stock front bar so it would leave me with only max 5cm clearance and I've scraped the stock frontbar a couple of times going in/out of dodgy driveways :)

can you raise up your car?

I'm thinking about raising up my car so I can chuck a bodykit on but then I love the low rider look.

if you do get the bodykit, make sure you save alot of $$$ on the side cause it wont be like the stock bar and just leave scratchs..front kit will crack, scratch and maybe leave holes..

was looking on the jsai site and DAMN that ztuned bodykit looks so nice..tempting

you only caring about peoples opinions or you care about the law too :D

I care about both, but no so much "opinions" as "experiences". So anyway what's the law ? pretty much every r34 gtr with that vspec frontbar that I've seen has about 5cm clearance between bar and road. VB .. some people say that but others seem to think that it really depends on how well built the fibreglass bar is, I remember someone recently posting how he's punished his fibreglass frontbar quite a few times and it had never cracked due to it being well built

there's no way I am raising the car, I was actually thinking of lowering it another 2cm or so .. it just looks weird raised eg. factory look

10cm at lowest point of the car. Normally the exhaust.

Reason why I can't really put the diffuser on. It's already giving me problems with the lip.

I've hit it a few times and it's not even low.

Fiberglass or not, you'll crack it if you hit it enough

remember thats fully loaded too

i think i have about 7cm clearance with my East Bear front bumper with full lower lip/splitter. It has taken a serious beating over the couple years i've had it and i've only in the last year cracked the lower lip bit, and that's because i hit chunky tree branches at 100kph+ down near Apollo bay. If it wasn't for that trip, i reckon it would still be holding up ok.

But i dare say my front bumper and lip have survived because the parts are plastic injected moulded, not fibre glass. Yes i have i have 1 kidney, 1 lung and half a liver because of the East Bear kit but it is absolute quality and probably why it's not in a million pieces.

What's it like day to day? ALL speed humps most be approached at angles. ALL drive-ways must be approached at angles, sometimes SEVERE angles. Usually i put the window all the way down and stick my head full out so i can get as much as angle as possible, without gutter scraping etc.

If i can, i like to KNOW where i'm going before i go there. This way i know i'm not going to stop traffic whilst i'm stuck going forward and not able to reverse due to a bunch of people behind me.

I know of some car parks in the city in Melb that i cannot get into, and usually i just go to this one i KNOW I can get into and around all the different levels. Sometimes it requires a bit of a walk to get wherever, but i don't care, because i know i won't get stuck and hold up a bunch of people whilst i try and unscrew the front splitter :D (thank goodness it's never come to this)

If you take full car loads often i'd be careful, especially if you have stock or not that hard suspension. I have in the past asked people to hop out whilst in tricky spots.

I like to drive out to the bush and what not, but really, sometimes the roads don't allow it.

Giving it a fang on back roads which aren't dead smooth will result in scraping the front bumper. I have the full bilstein/whiteline shock/spring setup but at high speeds over undulating roads, i will scrape the bumper. Be careful on highly cambered roads as well.

I'm lucky in that i don't drive the car a lot because i think it would be too much to live with day-to-day driving unless the route taken didn't cause problems.

if i can think of anymore gripes, i'll add them :P

Is the JSAI kit finally finished??? the front bumper looks a little strange on the sides around the wheels...

thanks for that Daniel.

Yeah I'll probably give the JSAI front a miss .. its just too bloody low esp. if your suspension is already lowered. Looking at that pic of the JSAI frontbar it looks very low and thats on STOCK suspension height from looks of things.

Man I wish he'd make just that bottom diffuer thingy (2-3cm height tops) attachable to stock front bars ..I reckon that'd be a huge favorite with any r34 owners.

I might just get the eastbear front diffuser (8cm) and leave the suspension height as it is (about 2fingers clearance) but its exxy...about $850 for the diffuser alone. At least the EB diffuser is that fibreglass/plastic mix (not just plain fibreglass) so it should handle scraping and small hits a lot better than plain old fibreglass

Oh, i reckon the gold ones would suit much better than the silver one.

Regardless, great size.. i can't afford them haha.

+11 are still not filling the guards, yikes.

The fronts probably do right?

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
