thanks

Kris

Kris. I was in a similiar position (but im heading over to the dark side... more on that later) but shop around and hassle as many people as you can. Ask as many questions as you like and drive as many cars as you can. Most of the places i went to, were very funny about insurance and wouldnt even let me look at the car, without looking over my shoulder constantly. Getting a test drive also proved difficult (at some of the dodgier places)

Remember you get what you pay for. I looked at some for around 16K and they were in really awful condition.

Places i found that had good cars were Autoworx, C Red and Extreme Machines. There are other places that sell good cars, however if i was buying a skyline (and i almost put a deposit down on one) i would visit these guys again...

Various people told me negatives and positives about all three, however i only found them to be more than helpful. They also had the more expensive cars i came across BUT they were in far better condition.

Cheers

Like i said, i looked around for a line and came across a couple i really like.... Glad i didnt buy one. I love them, but they are so impractical for me. Looked around for a Chaser too, but i want a newish car!

The thing that changed my mind was a ride in a good mates club spec 4!!!! u may know the car....... The other one i went in (similiar) was almost as quick.

So yeh in the market for a rex (has to be silver) and im in no hurry, because i soon as i get it, everything has to go in (new box, turbo, ecu etc.........) When the right car comes along (and i know the one i want!) i'll jump right in.

You had a skyline didnt you. How do you find they compare (i've driven both and i like em both)

wtf are you buyin a rex for then? the space in the back of a skyline coupe is about 2 times better than a wrx coupe!

lol @ new box. at least you're realistic about something.

I've driven modded versions of both and i really like them.

The back seats are easier in a rex than a skyline, with the extra two doors etc. I've sat in them and the rexes definitely have a bit more room. Havent seen the boot for a skyline, so i dont know how big it is etc.

Unfortunately both are getting pretty common, so it has to be different.

Although $$, a better box has to come straight away.... You have to be realistic!!

Hey kym,

The km's seem a little low for a 1993 i mean 54,000 seems a little dodgy, i still will check this car out

thanks

    • 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.
