Group Buy R34 GT-T Radiator Guides

[Bass Junky]

Everyone please check their PMs in about five minutes.

I will be placing the order on my subbie this Friday before I got back to Noumea for another week.

Means I should have the parts back to me within a week, then getting the bending done the first couple of days the following week.

Payments now due.

Yeah Erik has a new car, Franks old car and it does have a TS bar

[Bass Junky]

Bugger.

Anyone know anybody in Melbourne that has a Top Secret front Bar??

[NismoR34]

They are not going to tell you if they do - cause its top secret

had to be said!

[Downforce]

That guy with the black R34 auto everyone went to check out last Saturday has a Top Secret copy front bar

[3R1K]

You are exactly right Nismor34 It's totally TOP SECRET

I guess you could go to their website and see the dimension?

Thanks

Okay gents, heres the low down.

I'm going to have the first batch of Nismo guides made up, then I'm going to butcher the 'work-shop hack' guide I have here and make sure 100% that it fits the standard bar. I wouldn't want to make a bunch up and have to angle grind them to fit, because that would be crappy!

That means that those with standard (and aftermarket bars) will have to wait a touch longer, but it means you will get a perfect guide, not a 'suck it and see' guide.

Bear with me, as the wait will be worth it.

I promise to have them done as quick as I can.

Could you please photograph the front bar for me.

Also the bonnet where the radiator guide will be going.

ASAP please, as I need to order the panels at the latest tomorrow.

For all others, the Nismo bars will be bend up today, and ready for delivery any time.

I will photograph it on my car when its done.

I'm then flattening the 'workshop hack' version to make sure my calculations are correct for the standard and aftermarket bars.

I'll keep you posted later today.

Bass,

Good to hear there's progress on the guides.

Any rough ideas on shipping costs?

Will be nice to get a little extra cooling before summer hits.

[Bass Junky]

Shipping wont be too much.

I'll be putting on the work account which means pretty low prices.

I will be wrapping them quite severely in cardboard and bubble wrap to make sure they dont get bent.

I'll get quotes from TNT and let you know.

How about me?

[Bass Junky]

Erik.

I thnk the best thing I can do with your guide is to make you one just like (GTTR34) who has an URAS front bar.

From what I have seen of the fronts bars (Nismo, Stock, URAS) is that the front of the aftermoarket bars is very similar to the stock bar. The edge of the URAS bar needs a little section removed which by the photos on your dar-domain website looks like yours will too.

The stock bar comes forward from the radiator support bar, where the nismo bar actually goes above that bar.

I cannot gaurantee 100% that it will be 100% perfect, but I think it will be damn close.

I will be cutting the rest of the panels late this week.

I wil recieve the finished guides for the nismo bars today, and I will photograph them when I have them.

That's when I'm going to butcher the old panel to make sure all will be good with the profiles I've already devised.

Almost done ppls.

PS. My next group buy will be a replacement pipe (made from alloy) for the AFM to turbo snout. I've been wanting to do this for ages and haven't had the time. I'm thinking of doing one also for the R33 and R32. Kit will included all clamps, silicone and ally welded pipe.

So, any interested?

sorry dude,, but i wasen't able to get any pics of my c-west front bar,,

when is the latest i can get those pics to ya?

[Bass Junky]

This afternoon.

Or tomorrow morning.

See the above post though. I think the URAS guide (which is identical to the stock bar, just with a little snip from the edges) will be fine on the C-West bars.

Any interest?

I was asking about these back in Feb 2003! Check thread:

AFM to Turbo air intake piping one of my first threads

YES I am interested, there may be some useful replies in that thread BASS, particularly regarding having flexible hose / joins at each end!

Let me know how she goes. Also, how are the standard bar radiator guides coming along?

[Bass Junky]

Yeah, I've had some pretty in depth conversations with Sydney Kid about them.

It's my next project.

Stay Tuned.
