jayce and geordie are the only two people with r32 gtr's (in the a.c.t/qbn) that i know that didn't have to rebuild their motors after purchasing their gtr, because of the motor being a lemon or of 'other' imperfections if there are others out there no pun intended.

just goes to show when purchasing an import you must (after getting ownership of the vehicle) get it thoroughly checked and serviced, by a PROPER AUTHORISED WORKSHOP that deals with imports day in and day out, regardless if you decide to putt putt or hammer it here and there, here is a list of workshops in a.c.t/qbn area that i trust fully in:

ed at integra automotive (tuner/parts extrodinaire, famous for his 'on road tuning' capabilities also uses pete's 2WD dyno from autotech from time to time, has a 'thing/partnership' with greg at pro engines)

greg at pro engines (can bloody well rebuild anything)

john at trojan imports (parts grandmaster/rebuilder/ in a good way crazy bastard with crazy results uses jakes dyno and tuning capabilities to well.... get crazy results, has massive contacts list for importing parts as small as BOV's to as large as complete cars)

jake at jakes performance (tuner/parts/fabricator/engine rebuilder extrodinaire and much much more, like ed at integra gets the job done with more than excellent results, has his own in-house 2WD dyno that pretty much gets exhausted at the end of the day)

Pfft mine didnt need a rebuild, was just a shop that shall remained unnamed that decided it was stuffed and pulled it apart. So has anyone seen those new Evos?

Bah it needed a rebuild didnt you say it had some really dodgy noises coming from it and you took it to the place that sounds like mitsubishi ***'s and they made it worse ???

I was referring to the rebuild I had almost 3 years ago not long after I bought the car.

It made some really bad noises which was every tooth of the 3rd gear cog floating around in the gearbox hitting other bits of metal and a pressure plate snapped into 3 pieces :/ Nothing wrong with the engine though, was in remarkably good condition for its age.

Stunnd - Id be Shocked :/. I would be interested to know what exactly you find out about your engine.

Im really sorry you experienced this first hand. Suggest you put it in your lessons learned part of the brain and move on. There's no other option.

A lot of us are guilty of this lesson. At least SAU has been with us for 4 years now and has a heap of info that can help and save you from making mistakes when buying or fixing your ride.

Most buy the Skyline and then find the site. Imagine the heartache that would be saved if we did research first.

Remember tho - Sometimes sh*t just happens.

If it comes to a rebuild - A big YES for Greg n Warren @ Pro Engines. Best rebuild, good price, - honest shop. You want to take it a place you can trust where the guys know and do the business - take it to Pro Engines.

I've slammed that *** workshop publicly many times on this forum, well actually. I've told a true story a few times, naming and shaming. I didn't know it was such a big issue.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      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.
