What? Spend $35,000 on an engine, aftermarket parts, and tuning.... all in preparation for trackwork, and then sell the car a month later???

Who the hell would do something like that???? :)

:thumbsup:

Morgs rings a bell ;)

Status update:

FJ is all tuned and running well - pulls like a $20 whore.

2nd gear on the FJ box is farked - so putting in a RB25DET box

Got an H190 Detroit locker diff centre ($700) - it's off at the diff place now getting all the loadings and sh1t right

One piece tail shaft going in due to the new box

R31 read disc conversion is being done at the same time

Gauges are all mounted and look hot - Got Wideband 02 (AEM) also connected up to the Haltech for closed loop. Also Liquid filled Boost and Oil Pressure (autometer) - along with Autogauge stepper for Fuel Pressure, Water and Oil Temp - they are all mounted where the stereo used to be - The head unit has been relocated to the clove box

The buddy club wheels are off - just slightly wrong offset after the front S13 conversion - so I have a set of 16" Momos on now -with Falken semi slicks.

Modified an S13 front strut brace and put that on too.

What else - Oh yeah -all new wheel bearing on the rear.

Boy this car has had the lot done to it.

There are no original parts in the driveline at all - everything is new from the rear brakes, thru to diff, tailshaft, gearbox, and engine.

This thing is going to hammer ! !

I know I keep promising pics - and will have them up soon !

Cheers,

Should be a fun little car when the fark it is finished :-)

Should get a little over 200kw at the wheels. On a 1000 kgs car that will be fun

With the new suspension all round , it should handle like a cart

With the R33 front brakes and the drums converted to R31 discs at the rear, it should pull up real good

With the locker differ, should go real well sideways and also get power down for drags.

A good all round car.

I started a thread a few year back - on best performance car under $10K, modified or un-modified. And because I just love and can't help myself tinkering, I set a bit of a goal and project to build a good cheap all rounder. So far the S12 project has been that goal. It will be real nice to test the fruit of people's labour and all this waiting for shit to happen.

    • 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.
