Cheers,

I just got a permit for 48 hrs to get some work done for the registration and it seems that the diff has shat itself before i bought it causing the wheel studs to snap.

From inital inspection it seems that the diff is missing several teeth causing it to loose grip on the rear left wheel. When it grabbed it brought through a whole heap of force and bam it hit the studs and they were the weakest point.

New diff time. Super.

Bad Luck? Nah the guy i bought the car off is just a complete tosser and lied about its condition. Alot of love needs to go into it to get it going but once it does,

As for the diff, the 2 way will defiinitely be where it will be in time. But i need the car on the road. I will see what needs to be fixed with the diff once its been replaced and fix it (or sell it)

Cheers, for the ups on the site. Its still under construction as im playing with the skins. The ladies are teh bombz0r and i have many more to add. Soon it will be locked down as it will feature footage of the cars of perth doing their bizzy on the strezzy, its not designed as club but for my crew and their boys to host there shizzle securely.

Where the car stands:

1. New Carpets - 50% done should be done by Tuesday morning.

2. Diff replacement - Fitted by Thursdayish.

3. New seatbelts (front and back), Fan Cover(sourced), Fusebox cover(sourced), Front Kick panels, Front Intrusion bar (hopefully sourced)

4. Full service and tune.

5. Seems to have some body damage on the front left hand fender making the head light sit out of place. It will need to be pulled out.

Then Rego. I was hoping for early July but it will take a miracle. Looks like the tax refund wont be paying off the CC but getting the car to the track.

Cheers,

sh!+ tofu i just read your whole thread, you have had a bad run. I have to say i admire your good temper with all of this. Most people would be so crushed at buying there new car in this state they would come on here and whinge for 3 pages. Best of luck mate

man who ever the guy who sold you the car is nothing but a loser. i cant believe someone would do such a thing... now its gonna cost you an armand a leg and what not to do it all when all he could have done is be honest...

im feeling ya tofu best of luck dude!

Cheers,

No point in whinging really and its not going to achieve alot. When the car is finished it will be worth it.

The diff has been organised and will be fitted late this week early next week, sourcing a modified front intrusion bar as we speak and should have one priced and available next week.

As for the small front end damage, that can be looked at once the diff is fitted.

I have some good mates at Jshop so I am being looked after well.

Bad Luck? Nah the guy i bought the car off is just a complete tosser and lied about its condition. Alot of love needs to go into it to get it going but once it does,

haha oh i know that feeling all to well....

but dude, your "no point complaining, ill just get it fixed' attitude f**king rocks.

go son go, ps. you own me a ride when its finished if i remember correctly :)

steve :wub:

fo shizzle! Only way to be. If I rush it I will f**k it up, if I get angry i will f**k it up. Do it right and do it proper the car will thank you in the end.

The diff is being replaced as we speak. C-Red is handling the replacement. $160 for fitting at C red, $350.00 for the diff from Ben at KYP.

Oh you can have a ride if you have the nut sack to take it.

Andrew :D

Sup dudes

yeah its bad luck what happen with this car but its in good hand with me helpin Tofu gettin it all ready and over the pits,

Reprasent with the jshop decals :D

i say all up and running by latest next week then will be ready to hit D land

wel you see i cant really sell it when it doesnt move lol

so yeh, i thought id get it fixed then keep it for a bit, then sell it.

wil have spent way too much money just to keep it auto and rbo20det.

3k down the drain

so yeh probly keep it for a bit. :D

One Step closer! just purchased the following:

1. Front Intrusion Bar

2. Front Bumper (optional)

3. Kick Panels

4. Fuse Box Cover

5. Fan Cover

The Intrusion bar doesn't need any modifications at all which will allow for easy fitting especially the front bar. I will roll through the pits with a stock front bumper instead of the vertex for now.

Just need a new front passanger seat belt, washer hose to connect to the nipples on the bonnet, the refitting of the gauges and i am set for the pits.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
