hey guys, i was talking to a mate in the business and he told me he had a fair few external hard drives that he can get in.

he said he'd cut a deal for my mates (sau members) if we can get numbers up on orders as he has to do them on a bulk buy kind of thing through his supplier.

they come from 80gig to around 500gig (and i think 750gig) and range from $120 for the 80gig to $240 for the 500gig.

they are all seagate SATA drives and come in a choice of 2 covers. ill get pics once he's got them.

as for prices i dont know if theyre good or not so thats why its an eoi.

so... express your interest.

cheers,

joe

Edited by wld33r

ok prices are in:

80g - $120

160g - $140

250g - $150

320g - $160

400g - $200

500g - $240

750g - $360

the 750g is apparently hard to get but if there is enough interest he'll get them in.

are they actual external HDD's? or just internals put into a case?

Im after 1TB external HDD (yeah i know they just chuck 2 500gb HDD's in a WG case) i know WestGate make them... can he get those in?

Otherwise i might go 750gb depending if its an actual External HDD, as in made to be external...

Also, any pics?

internals put into cases. thats how theyre all made mate.

ill ask if he can get a 1TB but when we were speaking he said that 750 is the biggest he had.

why not throw 2x750 and get 1.5TB :D

pics will be up soon.

lol when i say external or internal, i mean an actual brand name HDD made to be external, like ive got a maxtor one, and it was built to be external, where an internal one in a case, im not too sure if i trust 100%

I might still go 750gb, its pretty cheap... are they sturdy cases?

all external hard drives are internal drives thrown into an external case. im pretty sure of that. otherwise they wouldnt be so big.

the cases look pretty good.

pics:

they come in 2 styles. he said he MAY be able to get others but hes not 100% on that.

yeah a hard drive is a hard drive, but the ones that are made to be external are abit more solid to protect the HDD and most have there own security settings...

If a TB is available let me know otherwise ill prob go a 750gb

postage is around $12 express.

i order these as i get them mate. i may end up making this a group buy if i get too many orders, but for now ill take them as they come.

USB 2 and Firewire?

the prices quoed are USB only. to get the cases with both will be $15 ontop of the prices quoted.

i was doing this on the basis of being cheaper for you guys.

yeah i want Firewire? are these firewire?

as above.

Can i use one of these for my xbox old boy???

sorry mate ive got no idea about the compatibility of these with the xbox.

What power source is available? USB off pc/laptop or external?

Interested in a 320g with USB and firewire :D

the power source is external mate.

let me know if you're interested as this will soon be a group buy.

can i buy just the external case by itself?

thanks

    • 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.
