Group Buy R34 GT-T Radiator Guides

[Bass Junky]

OKAY.

Anybody in Melbourne who really really needs their guides today, please call me.

I have pulled a favour at the subbies and he's cutting the panels for me right now.

Daz and Matt are coming to pick them up this arvo and if anybody needs one, for circuit racing or Auto Salon, please let me know ASAP so I can bend them up this arvo.

I can wait til next week - no need to bust chops, I am sure my car will survive.

But if its not a hassle I can also pick up this weekend - but its not urgent for me mate

Its up to you Pete!

Ok after breaking two ring spanners I managed to get my guide on. Fits very nicely and looks great. Sidchrome tools definitely worth the price as a side note.

Will see what sort of temp improvements I see over the weekend.

Thanks.

I'm glad you like it. I think they all came up quite well.

Especially since I trial fitted every single guide to my car.

Anyway, take a photo for the guys and post it up.

Also, could you please give me a trader rating. Thanks.

And for those with Standard Bars and AFtermarket bars, here's the story.

The subbie who are cutting the bars were going to do them Friday afternoon, but as Friday's go, they didn't end up doing them.

They will be cut early Monday, and I expect to be able to ship them by Tuesday afternoon.

Sorry to Matt who drove all the way out to collect them.

Let you know Monday when they are going to be ready.

P.S. I will also be playing around with my nismo guide.

You can see on the guides you have that there is a section which ic cut out but unbent.

This is for later modification to force more air into the intake.

I didn't want to mees around with yours as I have a lot of playing to do with mine before I can finish it. Also, there's a good chanch that when I try to bend mine it will kink somewhere and I didn't want to damage yours.

When I do complete the mods, I will take heaps of photos for you all.

Gave you a trader rating on the 15th, although all the other lazy mugs don't seem to have .

Will take some pictures once i get my digi cam back next week.

Didn't fit. Well after buggerising around for a bit chopping off two little bits that were stopping the thing fitting on, then accidently cross threading one of the bolts (which stuffed the bracket not the bolt) I went to shut the bonnet and it wouldn't shut. I even tried sitting on it but no go.

It seems my bonnet has some bits on it that yours doesn't Bass. Not sure that I want to pull them off.

[Bass Junky]

Serious?

Can you take some photos of the bit that your bonnet has please?

What little bits were stopping it going on?

[Abo Bob]

I took some photos but haven't had a chance to up load them yet. Will do that tonight when I get home.

It's probably easier if I circle the bits on the photo before I post it tonight.

[Bass Junky]

Bob,

Sorry for the inconveinience.

What series is your car?

[Abo Bob]

Series 1 July 99

[Bass Junky]

Mine's a series one, 98 so I wouldn't think there would be any difference.

And you explain what bits were there?

[adznight]

Mine is a Series 1 99 too. Fits fine as far as I can tell but I'll put in on tonight and check for you.

[NismoR34]

Maybe the 4 door version has differences Bass?

ABo_bob's is a 4 door!

Just a thought.

[Bass Junky]

SHIT. I did't realise that his was a four dorr, but I'm not sure there would be any difference.

Having said that, I do remember a thread about ylwgtr's car and that he had a four door radiator support or something.....

Maybe there is a little difference.

Bugger.

[Abo Bob]

4 door shouldn't be any different from the firewall forward.

see where you have put the foam stuff... I have these rubber flaps that hang down a little bit.

[Bass Junky]

Ah, right.

Maybe they are factory attempts at the same idea??

If there are flaps there, it forces air to be pushed down underneath the radiator support.....

I guess.

[NJR 34GTT]

I have rubber flaps a bit further back on my bonnet that aren't on the underside of Bass' bonnet. Mines a series 1 1998 as well just to make things more confusing.

[Bass Junky]

Goddammit.

Why couldn't Nissan just be consistant??

[AFRO]

does the nissan FAST software show car components... if it does,, it might show all the rubber under the bonnet,,

i don't have any rubber flaps!! and mine is a series II ,, talk about cost cutting bye nissan.. can someone post pics of their bonnet,, i might go to nissan and get some rubber flaps for the bonnet,, just need to know how many there are meant to be, and location,,

atleast i have the bonnet lining,, sheesh!!

Ok here is two pictures. The red circles are where I had to modify. The middle one is because once the guide was on I couldn't get a finger under the latch to open it. The one on the right is not the same as the bit on the far left as it should have been but that's no big deal, I just cut it off with a hacksaw.

The pic of the bonnet is self explanatory really. The rubber flaps are held on with a bit of metal and so when you add the bit of rubber attached to the bonnet to the metal holding it on to the rubber that normally hangs down but can't because of the air guide it's all about 2cm thick.
