Now this information probably won't affect most of the people on this board, since milton is a hoon hangout for bogans in commodores and wankers and overriced pieces of crap on a thursday night.

However,

Occasionally I find myself at Milton just as a landmark for hooking up with other folks before moving on, in this particular case I was waiting for Firefrog to meet up so we could go for a couple hot laps up coot-tha.

Pulled into the servo and saw 4 bikes and 3 cars belonging to the boys in blue. Also saw an SAU sticker on a nice grey r33, so i waited around for the owner to show up so i could introduce myself.

The member in question was boosted33 and his mate with f**koffcrazyshit under the hood of his Astina.

We hung out, laughed at guys popping their BOVs right next to the cops, then doing not one, not two, but four laps past milton making noise and then laughed even more when the cops pulled them down a side street for 30 secs then cops came out and headed right, and car goes left.

Watched this happen 3 more times wondering wtf.

Firefrog turned up and not 2 minutes later, our suspicions were confirmed as a bike cop came up and said boosted33 and firefrog had to follow him to a Dept. of Transport defect station.

boosted got out before frog, and frog didn't get any defects (lol) so i'm hoping he's ok =)

So yeah, Milton these days is crawling with police using it as a honeypot to defect people. Advise to stay the hell away for a few months.

edit:

Also did a recon lap of coot-tha first at fairly decent speed, but didn't see anything, stopped at the top briefly then came around to do the proper lap. Had to wait in a parking bay at the bottom of the hill to wait for a 4wd to come out that we saw go up from the lookout, and next thing we see is a piece of crap corolla being chased by police and pulled over. Decided it was a good time to do my lap now (and wondered why they didn't ping me last time) and pulled off a decent time.

Coming down the hill the cops had pulled over the 4wd down near the planetarium.

Looks like Milton->Coot-tha is alllll evil on thursdays.

Yeah I was just filling up there after work. Waiting for my friend to fillup too, then bumped into einstein. No defects for my car, sorry I bailed on ya too Einstein, had to get up early the next morning. My lesson is learnt don't fill up at a BP on thursday nights after work.

that's cool, i'm glad you didn't get defected

as for timed runs on public road, shrug, it's a really nice road and hard to duplicate at professional tracks

it's not like i push things stupidly, it's just a fun back way up to the lookout more or less =)

yeah i went down to check out the action with the DOT in the adjacent Suncorp stadium bus station doing everyone that came near...

there were cops up to 1km away in surrounding streets telling people to turn into the DOT station for inspection...i cruised in the backway and avoided getting rounded up....parked and went for a look-see

we also went up to cootha and we were in the planiterium cp when the cop bikes rolled past...we got outathere quickly!!

pretty safe to say i wont be taking the skyrine out this thurs!!

Cheers

Francisco

    • 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.
