hey guys, this is my first post on here, im friends with sambo33 and usually post on ns as i dont have a skyline.

anyhow,

last night i found an r33 about 5 k's out of town. it had been crashed into a pole and then torched. :yes:

looks like it was a joy ride by out of towners because it looks like theyve come down a dirt road onto a sharp right hand and havent seen or known the corner was there and gone straight across into a pole.

it is either black or gunmetal grey.

as far as i could tell (it was dark) it had:

white volk wheels. it only had the front right wheel on it, which was blown in half. all the rest look to have been flogged as the car was sitting on large rocks.

jun bl exhasut, looked to be all the way to the dump, but the only light i had was my phone.

tein coilovers ( i think), it was all really badly fire damaged and pretty unrecognizable.

thats the most i could tell that it had. all the rest was just too fire damaged.

number plate is xav or xaz something, only half of the plate was there and was hard to read.

ive got a photo that ill put up shortly, i just need to get it off the camera.

thats about as much info as i could get on it.

anyone here know whos it is?

sorry to be the bearer of bad news to the owner.. :rolleyes:

is this insurance job? unkle chop chop is this your mates idea of insurance job? he went to incredible lengths to make sure that insurance company would notice that it needed a new paint job and a bit of bog...

honestly i wouldnt do that for an insurance job. in fact i dont think any of us can afford an insurance job @ 2000 dollars a claim and the cost of ammonium these days...

not really if you look i imagine its a desolate road due to having enough time to take the rims off after the accident

i think my excess its like $1000 so not everyone has to forkout and i think if you get a police report and your car is claimed to be stolen you dont pay excess hence fire and theft cover

in my short life ive known alot of shonky ppls and this is could be nothing short of a desperate persons attemt to reclaim some money

not saying this owner to this skyline has done that but its not beyond belief

With the amount of Skylines getting stolen these days, I would doubt it very much! Besides if you put enough time, effort and money into these things, you really wouldn't want to do this sorta thing yourself!

point taken but who said this one had any money spent on it and sometimes ppls still think its worth doing the bodgey and thats why we have full jails

as DC_GTST pointed out wheres the rims

My bad... he wrote

'white volk wheels. it only had the front right wheel on it, which was blown in half. all the rest look to have been flogged as the car was sitting on large rocks.'

Therefore technically there is one left on the right hand side front lol.

    • 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.
