Bought a GT R, sight unseen and will be arriving in a couple of weeks. I want to be prepared with everything I need before it arrives.
I have never seen a GT R in person. It certainly looks low in pics/videos and the lack of a front end lift seems to be a terrible oversight. Do I need to get some underside protection for it? Thinking about this:
There's a minimum of about 4" clearance everywhere (assuming the GTR is set to same height as GTR Pro). The front end has not been a problem for me and it looks worse than it is ... likely because GTRs have a short wheelbase (in spite of looking like a long car) and due to the low "rake" on the front end.
I installed the TiKT brake-cooling ducts and so have only 3.5" clearance with them. Still, the only thing I have to worry about is the rounded-sidewalk type of curb that joins my driveway to the street ... if back out at too sharp an angle, the bottom of a front TiKT duct can just touch the curb (so I don't do that). The front-end is no problem.
Still (cluck like a chicken, here), I did buy one Sliplo set and installed them across the front end and the leftovers I sanded thinner and put them onto the TiKT ducts (which are carbon/kevlar fiber and do have some flex).
Thanks for the very helpful post and pics. Ordered the Sliplo set just to be safe.
