jeebus! pics of the frame and suspension with clothes off thanks!

just pulled all of the brake cylinders and callipers off of the car to have rebuilt- it's been sitting around for a while- if its sunny outside tomoorrow i'll get some and post them up.

but for now here's the motor before it got a decent clean

Thats awesome

may i ask how much it set up back?

car is on loan from my boss. the deal is that if i pay for consumables - ie fuel and tyres- and keep up basic maintenence, then i get to use it for free. it has been sitting around for a few years so the first thing is to go thru the whole car and make sure it's all safe and CAMS approved.

hopefully it'll be competing in hill climbs later this year.

cool car! you will need some good biceps with the slicks up font and the tiny go kart steering wheel!

should be wicked fun and sound great with the big webbers on it.

I wish I could score a deal like that.

But what happens if you bend it?

funnily enough that was never discussed. i'm speaking to roll cage fabricators at the moment to try and get some extra strength put in around the driver for safety.

hopefully the steering isn't too heavy- the car weighs stuff all- but i am thinking of putting a larger diameter wheel, mounted further back for better ergonomics.

next time i have it running i'll record the noise it makes. sounds Fkn wicked, little flames out the pipes on overrun at times too.

Well i was waiting to put the new TE37s on it and the new engine bits before posting pic but who knows when that will be...so

not sure how i missed this-

your car looks amazing!

such a cool r32, with loads of history too.

and the wing is very cool, everything about it looks mint, and in my opinion it will look better sitting on some wide 17's.

keep it up!

Cheers! Have some 17" TE37s (9.5" R and 9" front) in satin black with some metallic grey flake or something through it. They will be going on when the car gets back from the mechanics in a month or so. (Brakes, manifolds, exhaust, tune etc)

If a few things go my way then the car will be doing some pretty cool and special things later this year...otherwise it will just be sitting in storage whilst I am away :)

What size wheels are they, i would hurt people for the right sized Regas for my car :D

17x8 +35 fronts with 25mm spacer

17x9 +18 rears

I didn't even know what they were when I bought the car. I was worried they might be a bit dodgy when I saw "Made in Russia" stamped into the back of them! lol

posting this in here because I know you're all motorsport tragics, and are seemingly not biased to one make or model,

a friend emailed the link to me, he didn't have an explanation as to why pickles have all of this available at once, but some very nice gear none the less!!!!!

edit: it appears they are having their muscle car auction...

http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/listing/LIS...aleid-103001773

namely the vs gts-r serial number 001 with 79kms on it!

also the HRT 427...

the walkinshaw, and turbo XE... the list goes on!

    • 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.
