Hi all, What part do I get to change my factory Japanese style small battery terminals to 'normal' larger ones? Is it something like 'Battery Terminal sleeves'? I have attached a picture of one example... Cheers, Glen

You can get the tamper proof bolts from Super Cheap etc yeah?

Thanks all for your help guys! I have taken out my centre console and can see the small orange box which appears to be the igniter for the Air bags and is bolted down by the 'tamper safe torx bolts'. Is this the only place where I need to use these torx bits? Do I need any other 'special' tools? Thanks again you guys!

I found these Midori Hicas Cancellers... it looks like it will save a heap load of weight! Link: http://www.midoriseibi.co.jp/tuning/others...-canceller.html Also appears that they bolt up to the standard mounts where the Hicas normally goes with no bar in between what so ever. Although more expensive than a 'Cancel Rod' these seem like the closest thing to complete removal of Hicas without much fuss! However, has anyone ever used these?

Thanks heaps for your info okidori! I have a few follow up questions... 1) Is the Air bag fuse where all the other fuses are? Ie - the fuse box under the bonnet? 2) What is the 'igniter' that you are referring to under the centre console? Does that have to be removed as well? 3) How would I go about taking the SRS light out of the guage cluster? I mean is it just a matter of taking out the guage cluster and taking out the small bulb that illumnates the SRS light? Or is there more to it? Cheers, Glen

Hi all, My R34 GT-R is currently going on a slight weight loss program and I have now decided to make it pretty much a dedicated track car. I am now taking out whatever I dont need/use (backseats, spare tire, speakers/head unit, HICAS, interior trim etc etc) and so now I want to remove the SRS Air Bags from my R34 GT-R. I have one on the stock steering wheel and I have another on the passenger side dash board. So my question is this, how do I go about doing this? What do I have to take off/disconnect before even beginning to touch the air bag system? To my knowledge they can be quite sensitive (in terms of the electrics?) and if done incorrectly they can deploy??? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Glen

Thanks for your info duncan. So the hicas motor does weigh a fare bit? Also, does that mean I wouldnt have the problem of having the HICAS light coming on because there is no solenoid in the engine bay? Cheers, Glen

Thanks for your info sapphiregraphics! Yeah I dont plan on using any sort of big stereo systems so the 450cca should be fine for my application as opposed to the 680cca? Also, does a steel case make a big difference? Cheers, Glen

Hi all, Has anyone ever used the Stinger 12V 450PCA Battery in their GT-R? Apparently they are a good alternative for the Odyssey PC680 in terms of size and performance and their also a lot cheaper! Weight is 7kg... similar to the PC680? So im heading towards one of these... Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Glen

Hi all, I would like to completely remove the HICAS system in my R34 GT-R (instead of just a cancel rod etc etc) because of the weight saving (20kg's?) and the benefits in handling but am curious to know the procedure for R34 GT-R's... I have read the threads which describe the R32/R33's but its not a complete removal... just cancel rods and not on an R34 GT-R... Im guessing that it would be pretty much the same, (Ie - remove the rear steering arm, fluid resuviour tank/lines & motor in the boot) but I am interested to know of other R34 GT-R owners who have done this before... Cheers,

The correct Odyssey model for R34 GT-R's is the "PC680" right? Where is a good place to get them? Cheers,

Yeah sure man. Which ones would you like? The location is in Canberra... near the national library/portrait gallery and old parliment house... If that helps. hehe. Thanks for the compliment btw.

I have no idea what camera he used for the shot. hehe. Cheers again for everyones comments/compliments.

Hi all, Which one is your favourite out of these three? I personally like pic #1. Cheers, Glen

Oh I see, sorry man. I just wanted to let everyone know so that they can be aware and avoid buying a knock off like I did from that store. Cheers,

Yup mines an '01 too.

BE AWARE! www.Performance-wise.com sells fake Takata Harnesses!!! They advertise for $340 +postage and so I bought one from them and it arrived yesterday and when I opened it up I thought it didnt look right, so I done a search on these forums and checked on yahoo and sure enough I have all of the tell tale signs of a fake!!! Seven stitching instead of four "Takata Corporation" instead of only "TAKATA" Expires in 2010 Has the three small black allen key bolts on the release So everyone/anyone, DO NOT buy the Takata Harnesses from www.Performance-wise.com!!! They are fake and come from Hong Kong! I have already emailed Paul from performance-wise but no reply! Surprise, surprise!!! Cheers,

Thanks again for all of your compliments! I actually received news that my wheels have been completed in Japan and should be getting them within this month so once I get them and put them on, i'll take new pics and post up here again. Should look good. Cheers, Glen

Thanks Huy & dori34 for the compliments. Yeah I must say, the 5th is my favorite too! I chose the 57S-Pro wheels with titanium ring 19x10 all round. Cheers,

Thanks for the compliment guys! Thats right Terry, its an '01. Yeah Bakes I ended up getting the Gram Lights. Absolutely cannot wait to put them on my car! I also cannot wait to pay for the 4 new tyres!!! haha! Cheers,

Hi all, Decided to post some 'practice' pics of my R34 GT-R before my new wheels are due to arrive sometime next month. I had my friend take these photos for me with his Digital Camera and I have no idea what he used. lol. Anyhoo, just wanted to see what you guys think... so please feel free to leave comments. Cheers, Glen

So if you dont mind me asking, how much did you get it for? Did you get it from Xtreme directly? Cheers,

So do you have the Xtreme one or the ATS one? Cheers,

Hi all, Where is a good place to order ATS Carbon Twin Plate clutches? I am thinking of getting the Type S, 1,100kg pressure plate, normal flywheel combination... Cheers,
