i've got the heads up on this guy, did some dangerous driving around some friends. he won't be driving very sooner let alone walking if they find him, but if i see him i'll call the cops first then while i wait for them do some vigilantie shit cause cops never turn up. saw a drunk as a skunk lady with kids in her falcon at the air port driving mate in my passenger seat called the cops while i followed, we stayed behind her all the way to bribie no cops to be seen stayed on the phone the whole time she side swiped two cars on the way

Calling the cops is hardly being a vigilante, and I don't see a problem "informing" on someone who is an obvious danger to himself, his passengers and everyone else on/near the road. We're not talking about someone who was doing a few kays over the limit or who did a bit of a skid coming out of a servo or something. Besides, this kind of behaviour doesn't exactly help our image in the eyes of the police - you have people like this fool to thank for the hassles we already have.

Anyway the original incident was a couple of months ago and things may have changed. He may have a license now for example, or may have even sold the car to someone else. Personally, if I spot the car I'll leave him alone, but will keep it in the back of my mind that he "may" be a dickhead. Interesting to hear someone else has had a run-in with him though.

nothing hun, dw about it...

Far be it for us to start doing the police's job for them, thats called being a vigalantie and is getting into the same territory as that whack-woman with her dob-in-a-dope etc websites.

What go's around comes around, if we start informing on people then we will be informed apon ourselfs. The police have everything they need to deal with this bloke, its up to them as to what path they wish to take. Hes never done anything to me or most people here so we should leave it be until he does.

Dude pricks like this are a different animal. You wanna pull a massive burnout in front of my pad I'll crack a beer and sit on the deck and watch. When it comes to endangering lives tho I will be all over you like a cheap suit. Theres a major difference.

revhead has made a pretty valid point in saying the car may have been sold - also why is this being posted now and not months ago when it happened?

When stuff like this happens gang mentalities should be avoided as it can lead to trouble. It should be between the cops and the parties directly involved.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      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.
