Im currently taking my adapter plate and modifying it to include the girdle/main caps (CAD Designed, CNC/Laser cut). Should be done in about ~2weeks.

If you want more info drop me a PM and we can go from there :)

Im pretty sure ive got the pro engines one......can someone post up the price? Then ill know :O

I think they are $650 posted for the plate, or $990 with the oil pickup, all the fasteners and the guide for "notching" the block, they are the only one so far that noone has complained about fitment problems. They can be bought off their store on ebay, or through www.proengines.com

rang nizpro today to see if they would sell one of theirs.said no .they are a pack of rude cops very unhelpful

same with rips he said id have to buy a whole bottom end.thanx but no thanx

Do you blame them?

I mean, honestly, they've done the hardwork in designing them as part of a 'package' to sell to customers.

Its unlikely someone paying for a full motor will mass produce parts/copy, but someone just wanting one... its highly like its going to be copied.

That said, if proengines are selling them, then why ring anywhere else?

With a 800hp setup, dont you know a fabricator or decent quality?

ash, you cant really copy this type of item without pretty much designing it from scratch and making a fair few templates in the process urself. it took me 4 trial plates and many many hours in the shed measuring and drafting up just for the adapter plate, as every hole has to be pretty much perfectly aligned. I'm now 1/4 way through the first run for the main caps/adapter plate, and this one has to be even more accurate.

Yes there's alot of man hours gone into a thing like this, but at the end of the day, if there's people wanting them, why would workshops turn them away if they know they are going to make profit on them.

But anyhoo, i should have my first girdle back from the machinist in the next 2 weeks.

Shane your plate inc girdle bearing caps seems to be the only one so far that I am aware of.

I have often wondered why no-one has done it that way as the strength and stability of such a design has to be the way to go.

The cost obviously will be more so let us know how much and exactly how the plate and caps will be integrated.

The problem is going to be getting it to fit perfectly, as to accomodate the main bearings and the way they are notched into the caps. It can be done, but a few trial copies are gonna have to be made.

Another thing is, you'll have to source some longer ARP main studs, but that's no biggie.

I know that RIPS sold one to an aussie customer who then turned around and copied the design claiming them as his own (it wasn't pro engines). He sold the copy to a guy in the UK and it was a piece of crap. Rob found out about it and was none to happy.

I don't know what the big drama is. pro-engines make them. by all accounts they are a top product that greg designed and made after seeing growing need for a kit so people could build their own RB30s for GTR. call him up, send him some money and you are under way :w00t:

      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

      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.
