My A/C clicks too... someone once said that it was on the heaterbox that the problem is. I still get different temps and everything, so I haven't been bothered to look into it. Let me know if you find the source of the cause!

Interesting about the dash plastic... I bought my car with none on it. It's just a really rough texture atm. If I try and clean it with kitchen paper, it shreds it. =-/

I want to paint it, but I CBF pulling the whole thing out and painting it. =-[

I'm suprised yours is rough. When the silicon/rubber comes off it is incredibly smooth and glossy - just balck palstic.

Only did it cause I had all the bits 9/10s out. Should have taken it off to start with - a lot easier getting the stereo in and out..

My ac works fine etc - just thought id ask in case there was a simple fix , while I had things out.

Heh... we don't know! I thought it was normal! =-[

Ben: yeah.. dunno man.. it hasn't been painted before. I think the clear was taken off ages ago, and the sun had its way with it

is it necessary to disconnect the -ve terminal of the battery b4 installation?

Yes, its a very good idea to avoid shorts + sparks while cutting and joining wires.

If you use a 10mm (i think) spanner it'll only take 30 seconds to take it off.

I just bought this stuff all at Autobarn, mainly because I'm lazy. Its a 2 min walk from where I work!

Wiring Harness (AP7550) - $19.99

Diversity Adaptor (AP348A) - $12.99 ***NOTE*** There is a AP348B, looks similar and costs the same, but not the same part. I made this mistake :)

Facia Kit (FP997417) - $37.99

Not 100% sure if the Facia Kit will work (it should, previous posts said 1995 and older Nissan parts would do... right?), will find out and post it up :O

EDIT - Decided to post up all the prices for all to see, and laugh at how ripped off I may have been :laugh:

Great thread, the only place I found to have the correct wiring harness was Autobahn, Repco was out of stock and Supercheap auto don't have them in any store in Vic for the R33.

It was about $28 for harness and radio connection adapter.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
