The Tool...i agree totally!! :uh-huh:

the drive between Syd and Canberra (for example) is SOOO mindnumbingly boring sitting on 110km/h...and it's such a straight, safe road! Roads like that should definately have a higher limit. The only thing that keeps me awake is glancing at my speedo every 5 secs to make sure I'm not speeding too much lol

as for 50km/h zones...yeah we have them here, but it's "unless posted otherwise"...and most main suburban streets seem to be posted 60 (from what I've seen anyway)!

some places where it's 50 (for example i live in a Circuit and it would be 50) you wouldn't be able to hit 60 if you tried, probably wouldn't even get up to 50 either!

Guys,

The blanket 50km/h limit has nothing to do with revenue raising. In reality it will have little or no effect on the motoring public but it will free up funds that are currently being spent on 50 speed limit signposting in residential areas.

When this comes into effect all collector and arterial roads will remain at the same speed limit and will be signposted accordingly, while residential and local roads will be 50. This means that the millions of 50 limit signs on local roads will no longer be required and the only speed limit signposting will be on major arterial routes.

On the subject of seat position I was unfortunate enough to attend a fatal accident where the driver had his seat back and "submarined" under the seat belt and drilled himself (I think it was a him) into the firewall under the steering wheel. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Geez I'm a little ray of sunshine today, aren't I?

i totally disagree! how can you say it isn't revenue raising...

all the cops will do is sit in unmarked zones, catching everyone driving along at the mind numbing speed of 60km/h and book em for 10 over..

how can you say that has no effect on the motoring public? looks to be a big effect to me! what next, 40km zones in suburban areas, followed by 40km zones everywhere... followed by walking because it will be faster!

      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.
