Jeez Paul, that seemed effortless!

Sounds horn too!

yeah was a pretty easy pass...1st one with everything in order. Clutch was used in all shifts...time to turn the boost up, tweak the suspension settings and stop using the clutch.

what mods have u made paul? bigger turbo HAHA

nothing yet...arrive back in qld on monday and ill start sorting a few things out that should see some good gains. Nothing crazy the set-up will be pretty much the same as i believe now all the car needs is a few tweaks...we are going to try a few things in regards to fuel, boost control and suspension.

Righteo...just a quick update...new fuel system and wheel speed based boost control system installed. Mark will be back from the states tomm. so it will be on the dyno very soon for tuning.

Ive entered the Aust vs USA Nitro funny car 2 event series on the 2nd and 16th of January at Willowbank. They have grouped Super Compact with Competition Eliminator bracket and have me racing dragsters and doorslammers. I have resigned myself to be swiftly knocked out of the 1st round of eliminations as my index for my class (Super Compact AA/SM) is 8.38. Should be good fun racing against some big cars running 6's and 7's.

time to get the slicks out and make use of that little blue bottle?

slicks and NOS have no place on a street car :P . It will be fun getting smashed by Austraila's best. The sound of a low 6 second doorslammer passing me at the 330ft mark may leave a nasty stain in my racesuit though :) .

whenever i feel like scaring myself...its mental on the Toyo road rubber...low boost and 1/2 throttle is all you can really give it without becoming part of the scenery. Since the car has been based in qld i haven't had much of a chance to go cruising in it...but once it goes back home it will be taken for a road run whenever i get time.

The car is reasonably well kitted out for road duties as only the rear trims and seat have been removed. It still retains all factory front trims and controls. Even the front and under car sound deadening remains and all the glass is factory as well as power windows. Its pretty much all there except the rear trims and seats as previously mentioned, the air con and the stereo.

Its road registered, runs plates, its a full bodied car, is only marginally lighter than a standard car, runs street radials and doesn't use nitrous. It was fully legal to run as a street car in the ANDRA sport compact drag series, the rules were fairly strict and even stated you couldn't remove the roof lining or carpet.

    • 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 ? 馃
    • 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.
