First i'd like to thanks JACK (Citywide Towing 0419 877 437) for organising a Tow truck coming all the way from Melb to Heathcote to tow my mate's car home. :P

Secondly i'd like to thank JACK ....oh sorry Jack's FATHER for driving his tow truck all the way up to Heathcote to help us out at a very mate's rate. A very friendly gentlment too.

Thanks YLWGTR for respray my bonet back to the tip top condition, you're a pro mate.

Warning, while we were at Heathcote today, a highway patrol car rocked in the pit area. Mr officer then took a walk around try to pick on cars but unfortunately the amount of car's trailer there were as much as cars that run on the day so they left disappointed.

You'd like to think by doing the right thing, we drive 2 hours + away to test our cars out just to see officers rock up at a place that they encourage us to come and test our cars out instead of the street.

So whatever you do next time at the drag strip, becarefull. Little that they know WE import drivers love to run our cars on street tyres, street tune and street trims. We are not weak sources that us slick, un bolt their cat's back, use high octance neither NOS or if we do we'd arrive in style (on trailer ofcourse :D).

wow towing from heathcote would have been a mint if it wasnt at mate rates, although i would still imagine it to be a fair amount of $$..

A shame about the cop, they should be encouraging people who are doing the right thing!!

Did you run your car West?

Nah, i didn't run my car mate though the last time i was there i ran 12.2 with 1.9 60ft time @5k dump. I'll wait for the next SAU drag day.

I was about to go today as well with my mates - they were running their Black RX7 Series 6. Good thing i didn't go, they only ran the car once and it broke down.

Yeah i saw that car, FULL SICK :P. It currently holding record for fastest street register Series 6. Go to love the TD-H 88.

Your mate were trying to help my friend as well, we borrowed tools off him but couldnt' fix anything, it was BILL wasn't it?

Yep Bill from Rotary Performance Centre. Its got the biggest T88 in the market :P

They havent broken the record yet, but will do in time - they've only ran the car around 3-4 times. Best is 9.8 at the moment, i think 9.6 is the record for street trim.

      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.
