no videos on that r14 race website, which is a bit of a bummer

lots of photos tho and it seems they have sold a few kits here and there.

tho their doing away with attessa is something strange? as it quotes some of us do this.. which isnt quiet true.

maybe they mean they are using a controller to sort it out like most of us.

i think i will go ahead with it, considering that the original strut towers are intact...

Hardly theirs is cut and shut... i prefer to swap out the whole tower as it is neater and has factory strength.

URAS,how did u fit the r33 front suspension into s-chassis ? U sued the whole r33 strut towers ? Or just weld on the braces for the upper arm ?

R33 towers, ive been toying with the idea of R32 GTR'ing the front of the 180 (panels lights etc) i have here (leave 2wd as 4wd is less fun) and slotting the spare 26 in it.

id do it purely to piss everyone skyline and 180 purist off :woot:

i orginally measured up a 300zx front clip (most hated import) but it was way to much work.... and far wider.

CATS drift car actualy uses a R32 GTS-T lower rad support and castor brakets, all that was left was to fit the towers but i CBF'd.

what about r32 towers ? Maybe a little less work involved ? Or r33 got a better double wishbone setup? heard the upper arm is different to r32s.

Also, what about the engine crossmember. 4wd one is totally different to the 2wd one. But what else needs to be done to accommodate 4wd crossmember and suspension is s-chassis ? I'm thinking with r32 strut towers and whole r32 front suspension it could be a direct swap, no ? And no need to drill or bend the chassis rails for the front drive shafts. Am I thinking correct here ?

there was 2 video of that R14 on youtube but they are not there anymore ...

they keep the attessa , they just put a elecronic controler / manual arm (second hand brake that you see in the R14 pictures) to controle the troque to the front/rear wheel ...

as for those kit bieng sold ... i dont think they are prety poppular cause . i didn't see one in canada or in the state in the past year ...

sorry for my english !!!

In the states they do this conversion to S14s, as it is hard and expensive to get compliance for a GTR.

I saw this on an IGNITION dvd ill try to find it for you, I think there is a mention of the company who do it. From what I remember it is not that difficult to do.

    • 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.
