When I get off defect I am going to sell my car, get a motorbike, then contemplate the car I will buy next. Its police that make enthusiasts regret buying the cars they love. f**k them anyway.

as long as u dont have any regrets in selling the car go for it.....just make sure u think it through bro.....my car is pretty much stocko and it still goes well....

Mine looks 100% stock; even the exhaust is hard to pick yet it still goes ok. /edit better not really say that. :P

If I were to do it again I'd buy something with mods already done. Its so damn expensive to do it from scratch..

Selling modded cars you get bugger all because people thing oh no they are thrashed.. yet really.. the bits that get thrashes are so cheaply replaced in the grand scheme of things.

As long as the body, paint and interior are good.. who cares. :)

Owning mine since 2001 and never being slapped with a defect I must admit I do feel my time is running out. Good thing I have a spare motor sitting here lol :D

Sorry for spamming Ash. consider it a free bump lol.

hmm...iv got a 30E sitting here with a head to go on it, just hasnt been rebuilt. Still need a box tho and the tailshaft modded etc.

if i sold my head for about a grand, the engine for 100, that would mean id need 6g odd for u.

in the scheme of things tho, 1.5g for the box, 1.8g for the turbo, 300 for the mods to tail shaft etc, 1 odd g for the pfc, 1 odd g for the rebuilding, 300 for the afm, 1g for the clutch....

pretty DAMN good deal if u ask me. Just such a pitty im lacking the money atm. at most id have like 2-3g fresh money after i sell the engine. Little cheaper and id almost definately get it with a bit of messing round.

and then there's all the little hidden costs that people don't allow for, can't think of them all at the moment but here's a few for example:

modded engine mounts

valve springs

modded exhaust

modded cooler piping

new water pump

speedo mod for 25 box

oil/water lines for turbo

as you can see it all adds up quickly.

with this package there is basically nothing left to do but shove her in the engine bay.

He'd be the one crying, when you can get a 2J on special atm at Jap Import Spares for $2.5k..........

Still cant believe this hasnt sold to a RB nut!!

haha, good one!

no rush Darren, have 3 people pretty keen on it, just waiting til after tax time!

    • 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.
