R34 4 Door Roof Rack?

[ian]

Has anyone put a roof rack on a R34 four door? (ie two cross bars that attach to the top of the door frame front and back) I'd normally take the stagea when I need to carry long stuff, but am about to head off with the skyline instead.. Thus I need to be able to put some long stuff on the roof..

Went to a shop this morning, and they said that thule did make one that should fit, but it would take two weeks to get in - which is when I'm going, so I need a backup plan in case it doesn't arrive/doesn't fit!

Anyone done it??

..not looking good, they got back to me today and said they were no longer making the skyline one...

Looks like I've got a problem!

If you were going skiing (i realise what time of year it is) i would recommend magnetic ones. Dad was sick of buying new roof racks every 2 years when we got a new car so he got magnetic ones and just put a soft cloth between them so they didn't scratch the paint.

Did a great job.

I've seen some cool inflatable ones, they'll keep the car roof safe also

I want to put some long (light) ocean kayaks on, so need something a bit better than the inflatable or magnetic ones. I'm heading down to a big store this morning, I'll see if one made for any other car fits...

When I say inflatable they aren't the gay inflatable type you're probaly thinking, more like the strength of the lifeguard boats.

Done. Got one - made up of two different parts ie the feet and the clamp to go under the door frame (both meant for a citron).

Wasn't cheap (about $300) but it is very solid and will do what I need. I'll post a picture if anyone wants to see.

I got roof racks from a place in Artamon, Sydney. Cost me $200 and I carry my Ocean Kayaks on it.

Was surprised to be able to pick up a roof rack catalogue and find my car on it. They are adjustable as well so I can take them off when I dont need them.

Ill find out what brand they are tonight.

hmm, sounds like I didn't do quite enough research. Though I tested mine last night and they seem good. Wifes out in it now, I'll take pictures tonight.

Did anyone get the brand for the roof racks? I am after a set for my R34 coupe. It sucks having 2 coupes in the family!

Hey not sure if any of those above are still around.

Looking for some roof racks for my r34 sedan. Does anyone have any updates in the last 9 years on a brand that might fit?

Would roof racks from a stagea fit? They seem to be a lot easier to find.
