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! :laugh:

Anyone done it??

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.

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.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
