can't go more than 2" more than standard.

ie, R33, no more than 18"'s (16 standard)

R34, no more than 19"s (17 standard)

for fords for example, an AU falcon can go to 19's, because the XR models came out with 17's as the largest factory option.....

so in theory it should be the same for a skyline.

ie R34 can go to 20's, because the GTR has 18's.

they go by the largest factory rim/tyre combo....

but there's more rules to it than that...rolling diameter cant change by more than 15mm i think it is...stuff like that

haha wtf.

Pivot wasnt included but it had the sticky stuff which needs to be cleaned.

Accident repair history? Im guessing it was the back. As my boot lid is missing stickers on both sides and probably had a respray. If it was serious racepace would have picked it up right? haha

Dropped by at the meeting today for a short time. Showed Paulr33 the car, seemed to be all good.

How'd you manage to find that link?

i remembered seeing that nismo sticker on your bonnet somewhere so i had a look around...

makes you wish you had just bought it from prestige for the cheaper price eh :)

Power outage due to wind lost my reply -.-

So Ill make this reply short :)

Prestige listed for $11k, i bought it for $13k, which allowed me to test drive and take to pre-inspection workshop before buying. A major service was included along with rwc and any problems found from inspection. Also being able to drive the car after paying, instead of waiting months for importing. I guess that could be worth the extra $2k? haha

Vicroads bumped me back due to the CIN listed 16's when my car had 17's on. The guy was an asshole and just wanted to make my day worse.

Seller swapped and removed wheels/spoiler free of charge and put it all back on.

Have some weird sunshade applied to the rear window. Its like a tint but its mesh to block out the sun from ruining the interior im assuming. Well turns out nothing can stick on the mesh...My brake light fell off and so did my p-plate with blutac and suction cup.

Will try and go back to seller to remove shade and re-apply the brake light.

Spent about 15mins in carpark trying to turn off alarm as i didnt know which buttons on the keypad. I think the keypad battery is flat and hence no buttons were being recognised haha.

That ecu reset seems like a good idea but first i need to work out how to disable this alarm :P

Also like the induction sound from the apexi pod. nice and loud hehe.

Anyone happen to have a stock black r32 gtst wing lying around?

Might leave the gt spoiler brackets on and fix the other holes by mounting the stock spoiler back on! and if im bored attach both spoilers on for maximum downforce! hehe.

Everyone seems to go spoiler-less or GTR wing so there must be plenty of them around. Hopefully someone could donate or offer one for a low price :huh:

Thanks

In my 32 4door there are two buttons next to the hand brake.

The first one (The fan button) i rekon would control the factory air purifier on the rear shelf. Mine didn't work any more so i ripped it out.

The second one makes an antenna with a little orange light on it pop out of my front bar. Either so i can see where my car finishes and the kerb begins. Or so i can laugh at people do a double take when they see it go up and down.

You gotta love the optional extras

I picked up my 4door in great stock condition for $10500 with lots of rego left.

If you want my advice buy your car through a private sale, know what your doing, use a good real mechanic to check everything, and do a COMPERSSION check.

Ahh i just noticed that, look at my rear window cause i was peeling off that sunshade mesh applied to the window. Saw an imprint in the carpet of some sort of box which sat between the two rear speakers. Was wondering what was there. My rear window is covered with small specs of glue from the mesh which a peeled off. Only way ive managed to remove some is scratch with nails as a regular cloth doesnt do much. Anyone have a quick method to remove all this gunk off the window?

Thanks

Might try eucalyptus oil as i dont want whole car smelling like petrol from the inside.

Does the r32 gtr spoiler fit into the same holes as the stock r32 gtst wing?

Reading around, to fix holes it will cost $300, rather put a gtst/gtr spoiler instead :(

Also how much would it cost to respray spoiler to black?

Thanks

Where are all you guys getting all this info from?? The Vicroads Modification guide has no maximum wheel diameter rules in it at all. I still stick by my comment of being allowed rims with any diameter, as long as the wheel and tyre diameter doesnt change by more than 15%...

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
