Hey folks. I'm looking at getting a new front bar for my R34 GTT but just not sure what to get. My current bar I love the look of but it scrapes everywhere as it seems to be longer in the nose than other bars ive seen and i plan to lower it in 2 weeks so i'm thinking it wont be long before i smash it off... Here's how it sits now

Anyway, just wondering what standard bars there are that look good, can anyone post up pics of standard factory bars?

Also, i'm considering this front bar, which i think is a Nismo copy, http://cgi.ebay.com....#ht_1834wt_1165

It says it sits 25mm lower than a factory bar though so after i lower it say 2 inches the front bars gonna be sitting 3 inches lower than the factory bar at factory height... So yeah it's gonna scrape heaps too isn't it? Maybe i'm shit at driving or i'm a Pussy haha... How does everyone get away with having their cars "stupid low" and not scrape or are most of the fully sick 34's you see in pics set up only for either looks or for track driving?

That front bar you linked from eBay is the factory Altia kit (Nismo kit to others). I've got that kit and I personally think, all R34's should have that kit. The Nismo bar looks great tbh, I was going to get a body kit for my 34 but have grown to love the Nismo kit.

See my sig. I scrape it from time to time, but only at my gf's place since her roads are stupidly uneven. Cars that are "stupidly low" avoids scrapes by going up on an angle, depending on the height, which I'm very sure you would know. Or they live in an area with very smooth roads.

Yeah I do my best to take certain "obstacles" at the proper angle but there are a few places around town that are pretty much impossible already know to take certain routes to avoid them. My own driveway gives me the shits though.

How much lower than standard are you?

Genuine Nissan ones are relatively hard to find new. You'd be able to pick one up new from japan somewhere, but it would be stupidly priced. You could probably pick one up on ebay every now and then, for sale section here or wreckers. I'm in the process of replacing my one (only cause I'm an ass of a perfectionist) with one made with carbon fibre, currently talking to one supplier at the moment. If you're interested, I can help you once I test fit my one. Genuine, your looking at around $800+, even for seconds. You can imagine the cost of a new one.

My series 2 bar hits and my car is legal height plus the roads suck , go slow and at angle ad dont pull to far into parking blocks

My new custom bomex /top secret / my mods body kit is now rebuilt with carbon and kevlar weave to make it scrape proof and not shatter on impact , weight is similar to all carbon

just needs painted and fitted

Haha yup its a tough life, this skyline ownership lol... Mines a little worse coz the concrete sits up an inch where it meets the asphalt but yeah i sure people have far worse to deal with hey.

The first car has a longer overhang which is rhe issue

Mine is nearly flat on stock s2 34 and will grind off on just about everything if approached straight on

on angle my car heavy bracing turns the car into a teater totter pulling opposite wheels off the ground it makes people look lol

so stiff in the chassis you can floor jack 1 spot and it picks up 3 wheels at once lol

like a go kart handling flat and rides better Not so loose feeling

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
