Which one have you got (M or LS)? How much of the reo had to go?

PM sent

Having a poke around, seems to be a real pain trying to find an affordable FMIC that doesn't require modification to the reo (which is apparently defectable and could result in insurance claims being voided :down:).

I've heard mixed reports from people on the JustJap stealth ones (some say they got it to fit, most others say it requires modification - including justjap). I've seen some posts say that particular Greddy FMICs fit without reo mods, and same for the Blitz FMIC kits, and AVO FMIC kits - but I always seem to find other posts contradicting it. Either way, it's enough to drive you nuts in an attempt to stay within the law.

That's the only thing that's stopped me thus far is the reo needing modifcation!

why buy an off the shelf kit then?

Just jap cores are cheap to buy and are just as good as expensive brand name ones

then all ya get done is get some pipe work made up, so nothing has to be modified

if you are careful how you mod the reo you will get away with it. i needed to take about 15mm off the bottom to get mine to fit. rather than just take it off the centre i trimmed it off an even distance the whole way along, and then painted it. It looks completely standard, the only way you would be able to tell is if you had two side by side.

That's the only thing that's stopped me thus far is the reo needing modifcation!

+1 on that, cutting up the reo or bar doesn't jump to mind of things I'd like to do.

Also, was quite amazed when ringing around at tyre prices today. KU31 in 265/35/18

Wheel Worx - $275

Adelaide Radial - $305

Bridgestone - $325

Beaurepaires - $410

I knew Beau would be shit, but wtf!

ok, I got a question, Bomex body kits for 2DR R34. cool or gay ? Im looking at one for my car, found one cheap $500

i reckon the front bar and the skirts are cool, but the fake diffusers on the rear bar is a bit over the top

popped by andrews place before work this arvo, and went for a quick spin in munro's 35, f**k those things are awesome. relentless acceleration, and it seems so effortless...

... how much does a left testicle sell for these days?

he also seemed to find my car rather tough, quite a compliment from someone that owns such awesome machinery.

sorta glad i went with 17 over 18, prices are retarded for 18's.

bit of left field here, but does anyone have hook ups in the truck accessories game

need some rubber mudflaps for the patrol, to cut down to size (the gay nissan plastic ones that have all the metal support framework rust over the years decided to break on the weekend - seems they dont like getting buried in sand and then pulled at funny angles when the truck is extracted)

Anyone know where I can get bushes for the rear upper control arms and tie rod ends? My mechanic rang nissan who told him that they only sell the rods with the bushes O.o

Also after a fuel filler cable/handle set with mounting brackets

-D

Edit - only posting here because the work is going to be done tomorrow

Speak to Shock Systems on NS.com, he sells all the bushes, and he's pretty cheap and in Adelaide.

thx for the heads up, but it seems like he only does web based stuff ;\

ideally i'd like to find someone in adelaide where we can get the bushes tomorrow and do the install

otherwise i guess i'd have to deal with the web so it'd be worth dealing with him i guess

its a shame he has no mob number

-D

When i did my FMIC install, the only Reo mods i had to do was drill 2 holes...which is apparently legal, its only if you are cutting metal out that it is illegal. As these are holes that bolts are going through, it is replacing the metal that gets drilled out. Also the FMIC i used, uses the stock piping, only had to mod the front bar a bit for the piping.

    • 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.
