Very nice Rod. For a stock VII, that sits very low. You also have a surround to the exhaust so possibly the previous owner has done a few bits and pieces? If it has been modified and need stock springs, let me know as I have them.

Mine retained the HID's too, they are ace. :)

Yeah I heard you had some troubles?

Although you're the first person I've ever heard having trouble after doing something like deca (ie. autocross)?

In the US, they only seem to break them after track day stuff, and even then, only after 30+ minutes.

There's a 8 MR on the stock gearbox running 9's.

Just watch 4th gear too Lowthy - it's made of glass :\

Yeah - uncle Jeff is investigating with Mitsubishi now. He's as confused as i am...

No teeth, just selector fork - seems heat was a problem. Will let you know more when I know :happy:

Uncle Jeff? Is that techsport?

Very interested in finding out the cause of this... So the gears themselves are ok, it's just the selector forks?

Cheers,

matt

are you guys all having kids or something and need the 4 doors!

seriously though I need a ride in one of these Evo's... I must be missing something, I just don't get excited about them... maybe once I have sampled the cornering goodness I will change my mind.... somone show me the light!

I be interested to know why the WRX boys have defected?

Just back on that gearbox issue...

Listed on the Ralliart website

http://www.ralliart.com.au/RalliartVehicle...nIX.aspx?item=2

the gearbox is listed as "6-speed manual (W5A51)"

I'm pretty sure the jap version gets the "MFA80" seen here

The only reference I can find to W5A51 anywhere is on this place

Nonetheless, interesting you've killed 4th and/or the selector fork.

James - Cool - thanks!

NickR33 - LOL - my Rexy was a 4 door! They're far more practical than a 2dr skyline! :happy:

Re: Rex boys defecting... Hardly... I had a 350rwkw R33 before I had the 05 Rex.. I bought this because it's the best new car at that price range... There's not a whole lot in it b/w the 07 STi and 07 Evo, the Evo (for me) was a more exciting drive.

Anything can be made to go fast in a straight line - it's the stuff between the straights that's the fun part! :glare:

Thanks for the info!

BTW - I wouldn't hold a lot of stock in the info on the mitsubishi aus website - a lot of that info is based on the EVO VIII they sold here previously (including the weight).

Interesting about the torque limit of the gearbox - considering they run over 400nm factory in Japan/NZ!

Cheers,

matt

No worries Matt, by the way, you realise this is dandin (been a while mate).

I think I've seen you a couple of times at St. Kilda Towers, perhaps you can show me this Evo of yours sometime :glare:

Regards that torque limit, I'm sure it's underated. We all know the stock boxes can hold their own, I'm putting my money on driver error :happy::ninja:

Fark - No way!

You still got the GTiR?

Where abouts are you working these days?

LOL - Yeah - James IS a fair hack! :happy:

    • 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.
