This is clearly about individual preference, no one can be just"mainstream" and go for the race look. Every one has their own opinions and tastes, this is what makes us individuals, the thing i dont get is why you get looked down upon if you do have chromes? So what .. the bloke loves his bling .. in his eyes he has bought rims for his car that HE thinks looks nice. Im not saying they are really friggin' good, but then coming onto the forums and posting it up, then getting flamed to the shithouse makes the driver feel a lil' "unwanted" and makes them feel like an outsider.

So whatever the mod, a skyline is a skyline. Whoever has their own opinion on what it SHOULD look like, keep it as an opinion and not a generalisation of what it should be.

I might just be 17, but i just wanted to get my point across.

One of my opinions is, a god damn monster tacho sitting in the wrong position with multi coloured backgrounds on a skyline would look really eww in my opinion.

Nicely said there young fella :)

err... no this isn't a democracy buddy... this is SAU! :)

Nissan made the Skyline and the Silvia as part of their sporty lineup.

Skyline is the masculine car, Silvia is feminine.

Therefore the Skyline must be modified with this in mind. Putting feminine sh!t on it like chrome wheels, bling lighting, pumping Backstreet Boys (with lyrics like "oh girlll" :) ), kits that soften the tough body lines, whistling BOV's- all deride the masculine qualities of the Skyline.

I'm not sexist and i reckon women can own whatever car they can afford, but it looks more natural to see a lady in a Silvia rather than a Skyline IMHO.

That be Roger Coridas next car right there. :laughing-smiley-014:

Can't stand frangipani's or butterfly stickers or girly stickers..

They're supposed to look mean/tough.. girly things ruin the overall look..

I agree about the chromies.. and ugly air brushing/paint jobs.

Oh oh and I bollocksing hate the backstreet boys..

I think that its hard to point to specific things (apart from the usual +50 offset chromies, or cheap kits) but evevyone knows when they spot a really tough car. The owner just gets a whole host of options right and the cra just works.

Personally I'm a fan of the understated look. Stock bodywork but with nice big 18's to fill the guards.

Ponies before chromies!

Totally off topic but a hottie in a line is a sight for sore eyes!! Anyone seen the white 33 with plates "cuddles" WOW!

Mardi Gras called...

they want their main float back.

What makes a skyline ugly? 90% of the time it's the person in the driver seat :thumbsup::)

skyline_41.jpg

That is soo cool!!

the sounds that come our of it ie the persons music tastes....

- a completely stock car

- stock rims

& P plates....

-Some people dont have enough money to modify their cars yet, or simply dont see the need to, which is most people. I'm in the first vote, I get paid shit all, but I am trying my best

-See above

-Do you think we like wearing P-plates? If I had the choice, I'd take them off, but I dont want to run the risk of being caught without them. Its a $2000 fine here in WA I think.

There are ricers, then there is that thing!! That is so ugly!! Whats with the eggsadurated bonnet? Or the centralised GT-R badge!! Thats the worst thing, the f*ucking GT-R badge. ITS NOT A F*CKING GT-R!!!!

Interior looks ok though. Looks like it has 5-stud hubs, so possibly turbo?

Can we change the plates from:

WBF - 185 to

WTF - 18S (seconds...)

:(

Some 747 boeing airplane must be missing a part that seems to be on the front of that blue skyline.

But seriously 20" chromies, clear tail lights and people with subwoofers listening to there techno loud, I mean shit, its just embarrassing.

    • 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.
