car in question is an r32 gtr. this used to happen occasionally but at the moment (i've been driving it quite frequently) its constant. without the ac on i can feel hot air coming thru the vents and at my feet as well. temp gauge is a tiny bit above half way. is that normal or is that running pretty hot? not sure what it could be. car had a full fluid and filter service just a couple weeks ago. any clues? cheers guys. oh also, last night the speedo needle was shaking heaps.

yeah i'm pretty sure i already tried that, but i'll try again just to make sure. but is the temp gauge normally that high? i know my falcon ran a lot cooler and i know its not a good comparison, but still.

press the recirculate button when a/c is off. fixed.

are you going off the stock temp gauge or one with deg? if so, what temp does it get up to?

anyone know what the safe temp range is ? mine sits anywhere from 80-95 depending on driving

Speedo needle shaking? mine jumps around when sitting at 100-110kmh

yeah its just annoying cuz it didn't used to do that. thought in some crazy way it had something to do with the heat. i'm going of the stock gauge so i'm guessing it may not be so accurate anymore. and yeah, heat problem fixed. can't believe how dumb that was.

If you get hot air when you have the vent open to outside its probably the heater core tap getting stuck open. Mine used to blow hot air at me when i was on the freeway and id stand on it for a few seconds. Probably the increase in water flow thru the core pushing the tap open...

a bouncing or shaking speedo needle is a really strong sign that your speedo cable needs replacing. that cable also controls the steering to some extent. worth replacing it before it dies

Not necessarily true. Before my speedo cable let go, it was working perfectly, no shaking or bouncing, it died suddenly.

And I got it fixed, got an aftermarket one installed profesionaly and now the sucker is bouncing like crazy.

Oh well.

have you had it looked at? maybe ask the blokes that fitted it for you why the needle is bouncing.

i have known of 4 32gtrs a 32gtst and a 180 that all had bouncing needles (my gtr included) and they all turned out to be worn speedo cables. i replaced my cable myself with a genuine new cable from nissan. works perfectly with both speedos that ive had in my car.

im not saying that the speedo cable IS the fault, just a very good chance it is :)

    • 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.
