Yeh, worth the wait. I knew after speaking with David that he would be great for one of our meetings. Even if you werent into cages he was great to listen to , and has so many years experience in motorsport any car lover could listen to him all day.

Tonight just re-affirmed my intention to go for a 4 point cage with diagonal bar, harness bar and bolt in side instrusion for the track (lol + a CAMS compliant camera mount to catch my next crash). If people are serious about going ahead with this, he is happy to do a good job for us. Im not overly fussed about knuckling down a 'Group Buy" price as such. In my eyes, happy to pay money for a good product, as in my eyes its already great value. But that said, there is effeciencies in cutting 3-5 lengths of everyhting while all the jigs etc are all set up and it seems we could pocket a $50-100 saving just by being a little more organised.

So if you are interested, pm me your email address and we will get something sorted via an email mailing list.

On a side note, its my hope to get a similar motorsport orientated speaker every 3-4th meeting. The guy im trying to line up now will be very cool if it pans out. :dry:

He actually was classified 1st in handicap points. Fair effort that.

Anyways - I'm super keen on the half cage with removable diagonal / harness and side intrusion bars. Not sure if one size will fit all but for under $1K it sure is piece of mind and I get to keep the back seats.

Thanks Guys for your kind comments. The lil GTR ran well and we even took a stage win off Jim Richards in Stage 2 which is one to go to the 'pool room'. If anyone wants to know about our Tarmac experiences I am happy to help where I can as the learning curve has been pretty steep.

Cheers,

Drew

I have updated our Youtube page with a stage run from last weekend. Apologies for the quality, it looks much better on the plasma at home I can assure you.

I thought the meeting was next week. Sad I missed it. I've been seriously tossing up a cage for a while. I really want to run on slicks and stiffen up the car plus minimise the crash factor.

Could I please have a point brief on the half cage keeping the rear seats in? Also did he give an indication on prices?

Drew could you pm me with what you have done to stop the car being taily. Your car seems to handle really well with little under or oversteer.

    • 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.
