but anyway we here we go..

Difficultie: 5/10

Step 2

post-28983-1194076213_thumb.jpgpost-28983-1194076245_thumb.jpg

Disconnect the breather pip on top of the coilcover, the BIG SILVER PIPE you cant miss it.. and teh socket set will come in use, loosen it up

and shes all good :mad:. and also in the last picture shown theres another pipe underneath, you may have to jiggle with it a bit to get it out,

and if you have pansy fingers like me..youd prob use a good pair of pilers to do the job for you. and the final result should look like this..

this will definately come in handy later on when i need to do this. thanks for taking the time mate. i think if i did that i'd need a few more breaks in between if you know what i mean :(

Sorry about the confusion, I thought they were meant to have conductor paste/silicone underneath like ignition modules/pc cpu's etc. The paste acts like a conducter/heat exchange and helps draw heat away from your coil packs preventing premature failure.

Im sure ive seen someone put silcone on them, insulation maybe?

my mistake...

Thanks for this. Used it to coat my stocko's as an interim to aftermarket items.

Might add that this is not noob friendly. Being a noob myself it was a slight nightmare lol. Step 2 has about 20 minor steps to it. Also, the breather pipe has a small nipple underneath it with a hose that connects to the boost sensor near the firewall, I didn't see this and pulled and yanked on the breather pipe to get it off and by doing so ripped the end of the hose off!! Found that removing the strut brace was helpful.

Was a good learning point in that I will probably just let a mechanic do it next time lol

Darn, wish I had seen this a week ago before taping up my coil packs and changing the spark plugs, would have saved a lot of head scratching!

chrisR34GTT agree that us noobs could use even more hand-holding :)

Still a great post, thanks for sharing! :P

Attempted this last weekend but didn't want to break any of the hoses. 

Definitely a lot more steps to removing the breather pipe towards the back, there's around 5 rubber hoses that are quite fragile. 

Anyone have tips for removing the breather pipe and hoses near there?

    • 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.
