I just chucked in my Bilstein height adjustable shocks and super low King springs.

All in all, pretty easy job!

Here is a pic of how it sits now. I have been waiting ages to do this and I love it!!

It is rubbing in the front so I will have a look at that today. It goes in for bodywork tomorrow so I will have any guard rolling done then.

I still have to install my other suspension gear (ajd front and rear swaybars, adj camber kits, adj caster kit and rear subframe alignment kit) and get an alignment.

Has anyone had experence with what it might be rubbing on? I am not sure that it is that guard... Might be the arm and could have to get some 5mm spacers for the front. I can't even get my little finger in between the rear tyre and the guard so that will need rolling/trimming.

Anyway, here it is. Any comments welcome.

P.S. Might be an idea to have a sticky updates section so people don't have to create a new topic for somethin like this...

Cheers guys!!

I had a look today and it is rubbing on the screws on the guard that holds the plastic inner guard on. It is also rubbing when turning on the inner guard so will have to sort it out.

I will post an update when I get the car back from the bodyshop. I am getting my front bar, bonnet, front guard, rear bar, boot lid and tail lights painted and having my boot shaved, front guards rolled and rear guards trimmed...

yea wheels are wheels to me. my best mate had dished volk rims with a $4500 price tag but they dont look much better than a cheap set. just what i think anyways. but yea car looks sweet.

its the weight of the 2 piece wheels and the build quality, sit them next to a set of lenso copys and you would just pay the extra!.....trust me I did! and they look sweet as!.....go the VOLKS! :)

I can see your point and it is valid but at the end of the day you cant see the wheels when your driving and they dont make the car go any better.

Its purely cosmetic so i have never been a fan of spending big on wheels for my cars, but thats just me and my 2 cents.

Dont get me wrong they do cap off a car (like Todd's) but i can think of better things to spend money on first.

Todd the car looks great cobber, must make a big difference with the handling now!!!

What have you got planned now for the beast seeing as your always doing something to it :)

Thanks B.

Well, it is in the bodyworks at the moment like I said so it will be looking spot on when it comes out!

I now have GTR injectors and the resistor pack and a Z32 AFM so I will be looking at getting a retune.

I am tossing up whether to get Dr Drift to do it again or to go aftermarket. I am about to investigate SAFC's... Can anyone tell me if I can add the new injectors and AFM and tune it up with that or would I need to go the PFC?

I am not looking at taking it to Melb to get a tune because it is going to cost too much and I may aswel spend the cash buying something I can have tuned down here! I am thinking about getting Sam to send me another chip with a map to suit the injectors and AFM and then get the A/F ratios checked on a dyno down here. If nessecary, I could always send the ratios up to him and he can adjust it best he can...

Any help or suggestions on this would be great.

I rekon there will be a little dry period in 4 weeks... I am going to be a dad :devil:

Todd

    • 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.
