Hi Guys,

Yes I made it onto TV, and no it is not some porn show.

Me and my car will be on DriveTimeTV on this coming Tueday night, it's on Channel 10, late after Sports Tonight.

Luckily this time I didn't have to say anything, in fact they actually gaffa taped my mouth so I couldn't speak, it's true.

Tollie the host, takes my car and gives it a damn good thrashing, hand-brake turns and 360's, my brakes were smoking after he had finished, plus he managed to collect a few witches-hats while drifting it.

This was supposedly a drive comparison between my car and a 4-door Skyline they did a while back. They also had a Stegea wagon and a JZX90(chaser) which they will be roadtesting soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Geez your generous!! I have the look but dont touch policy on my car. Used to really annoy my ex after being together for 2yrs he wasnt allowed to drive my car and all his mates used to give him crap about it - then again would you let someone that has lost their license 9 times drive your car?

Will have to take a look!!!

too right!! I'd never let some other guy take my car out and give it a working! The only person who touches my car are my bro and parents (bro coz I trust he won't, and parents coz they drive as slow as a wet week anyway)

anyone else don't have a chance (annoying when your mates KEEP asking for a drive!!

But anyway, it wasn't my car, so will tune in and check it out

did they give you anything for the privelage of thrashing your car Paul? :P

The filming was done at the end of the drag strip at the Motorplex.

Tollie has been a rally driver for years, and knows how to drive a car better than most, including myself, so I wasn't too worried. My car is built to withstand a fair bit of punishmnet, so if something breaks I just fix it with something stronger.

See'ya:burnout:

so were you on ages ago? I seem to remember a gun metal line with silver and red rims ages ago, but at that stage only had a POD and exhaust or something? And that was a show saying they were gonna road test a few imports and apart from a 4 door skyline, they didnt do any.

Oh, and if you count the NA soarer they riced up, that makes 2.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
