It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

Yes, I was thinking about LS2, but the LS3 was only $1000 more, and between 500 and 550 HP. The wheigths are the same, and transmission are the same.

Im hoping the car would be ready for next season of drifting...

:D

Im from Norway. I found a company from the US that sells the LS3 500-550bhp and Tremec T56 transmission, wiring and computer and all, for $10.700

In norway, thats a lot for that money.

That seems more than reasonable for a new engine and box! Provided you could get it over to Norway cheap enough it sounds like a bloody good deal.

Far out. $11000 is a lot of money, but when you sit back and actually look at what you get for your dollar its well worth it. If you were to compare it to an RB25, you would pay $4500 for a manual front cut, and then have to spend $15000 to make between 400 & 500hp.(Thats if you payed someone to do it) It is the sensible choice. In my case i didnt spend any where near $11000, but my engine is a 5.7 and i have spent $5000 on it to make 450hp. But any way you look at it, dollar wise it seams a good choice. Now it just has to perform. Its no good it being cheaper if it goes like a 253ci red motor. Rather the RB any day. Time will tell. at least it will sound tough, nobody can ever take that away. There is no arguing that the turbo motors make excellent power, but at what cost. maybe 2rismo could give us some idea how much it costs to have your RB25 make 500hp. Or maybe he shouldnt say infront of his wife....... sorry mate

the radiator is a PWR unit to suit r32 gtr, i just had them modify the outlet size to suit the ls1.

i also had them discard their fan bracket as i prefer to fabricate a full shroud.

Looking great!

What is the size of the radiator you are using?

I just started on my project, so I'm gathering some information...

    • 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.
