Hi,

Does anyone know if I can get roof rakes for my R33 Gtst series 1 skyline.

I need to find some way to transport my mountain bike for when I want to cycling.

Another option might be a tow bar, but as the skyline never left the factory with a tow bar, is this even possible. I have had a look at the underside of the rear end, and am not sure how a tow bar would even be fitted, plus there is the 3 inch exhaust pipe that gets in the way.

So roof rakes might be the only option.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get roof rakes for the R33, and what cost is involved, location would be preferrable to South Australia, but will consider options.

Thanks.

Roof racks would be the way to go. And you can buy cheap kits off gumtree or eBay. Some racks allow you to place the whole bike on top. Some others require you to take the front wheel off and attach at the forks.

Thanks for the reply, problem with aftermarket roof racks is that there is a good chance that it wont fit the r33 roof.

I have rung around a number of roof rack businesses, and they all say the same thing, that they cant help me cause they cant find roof racks to fit this car.

The problem is the frameless windows on the driver and passenger doors.

I did find out that back in the day, Nissan did bring out a factory roof rack system for the R33's (part# G38OVAD00), but that product is next to impossible to find. I will check out yahoo auctions, but it doesn't look good.

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
