Yeh do it! s15 front would be rarish, but not impossible to source. well worth doing if you can do without ya car for a few weeks.

s14 silvia is still a newer model, i *think* the front still looks similar to the s15?. the s13 is the older kind (1992 etc)

at least it would be unique hey :D

Thank adam and gts-t.... I have to NOW go to a certified RAC repairer..... So at least my car will be fixed... but I don't think I can go "hey do a sileighty conversion for me - oh and its on the RAC" hahahaha

Aidwin is getting his car done at bently autoworkshop.....

Sneeza, better to walk than go in a Commodore

Do you know whats funny?.....no of course you don't Paul :D sorry hahaha

Ummm anyway the guys that came with the car trailer from my SES unit - well one of them has an SS dunnydooor - he was going to come in that. Wouldnt that have been a perfect photo opportunity - trev car towing jap car. hahaha

okay well if you want to contact RAC speak to your claims officer and ask them if you are able to get another quote to fix your car. because you want to take it to a friend who you know does good work. Then if you can afford, pay a towie $60 or so and tow it elsewhere SAY C-RED for example and get them to do it all. Try to squeeze how much rac is paying for your repairs or what the quote is from your repairer. You can most times call your repairer who RAC authorised and talk to the reception chick and ask her for a copy of the quote for your memorabilia of your car cos you keep records of everything. Suss out with c-red against the cost from the RAC repairer and walla ask C-red to make it cheaper. They can claim up to the RAC repairer cost if it goes over and you pay c-red the difference.

phew there ya go.

I did this with my lancer GSR, got a full bodykit fitted for the cost that Lombardi brothers quoted just to fix some damage on my driver door and interior console etc and then i sourced the console stuff for $50 out of my pocket, bargain mate

hehe its all good fun tihs insurance crap.

They are gonna pay out that amount regardless so why not work it in your favour. anyways jeff or glen or greg will know what i am talking about and you might be able to convince them

you can also try ground FX in malaga they are an insurance repairer and can prolly do this, speak to tony. oh yeah and you gotta act fast and take RAC by storm ...baby yeah!!

    • 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.
