As requested........ let me know if you want it, i can possibly ask my mate if he'd fix it too if your interested.

there is no lip

and you can have the spiders too!

That'd be great Angus. If your mate can fix it even better. Happy to sling a few slabs around for the effort. Pretty sure I have a lower lip lying around.

nah mark! no arguments here mate... always like to throw up ideas, i am no expert so watch on with interest

you boys look like your making great headway!! keep it up , great job

i have to keep berry away from this thread or he will go off about me making him work on the r35 instead of his car! lol

Hey Russ, you had Mahle pistons in your 32 correct??

is there any secrets or tricks to using them/for the build??

Bad timing, i spoke to his misses and he is over seas for 2-3 weeks.

still want?

Yes please, I have someone else who can rubber/plastic weld.

When's a good time and where about's are you. I'm away until Friday.

What can I throw your way for the pleasure of taking it off your hands?

Thanks,

Angus,

Just had a thought. Going to machine up a couple of allow steering wheel linkages on the weekend, how does one of these sound. You can probably see one on one of Duncan's previous pictures, they replace the standard rubber steel one that links the steering wheel arm to the steering rack.

I'm going to whoreeeeeeee for a second or two....

I'm done whoring, now all i need is pistons and rods and i can build this damn thing!!!

Are these new turbo water and oil lines. If so, they are a really, really, really good idea. I have had to destroy a standard set on at least 3 occasions because the fittings wouldn't turn on the pipe and it ended up just twisting the pipe up until the metal fatigued and ripped itself apart. A real pain in the ass, not only because they needed to be replaced but because it's a bitch to get your hand and a spanner in there in the first place, then you have to turn hard enough to rip the pipes apart.

What's in the box under the VRS kit?

ahh sweet that would be great :O

Yeah all the turbo and water return lines there! from hose solutions on ebay all up around 350 aussie delivered ;)

that sounds similar to the way i pull things apart hahaha.

big black box is a nismo full engine gasket kit with a 1.2mm metal gasket too. i had some presents arrive this morning!

what do you think about the quality of the lines. we need a set too, and these are hard to beat at the price (about 1/2 what pirtek charge for the same) let us know if they fit ok.

ebay, they are from the uk they look nice.. haha dont think they will be getting fitted for a few months now

http://myworld.ebay.com.au/hose_solutions this guy is the one.

tho they did take some time to arrive i think around a month..

Ask Norm, Mr r32 how they fit.

i can make you custom speedflow lines for around that price.

A question about Sump/Baffle

So i bought the tomei baffle, now i'm thinking why on earth i did this.

i wouldn't mind extending the sump but not making it go any lower like most other extensions, is this possible? and still use the tomei baffle?

interesting question. we are running the tomei style baffle in this car's motor too (although we got the much cheaper one from Just Jap), and the sump is wider but not deeper. remind me to post some pics next weekend

we normally run the trust (deep) sump, and I had spent years telling people yes they hang low but no you don't damage them. which was true until I smashed mine on a ripple strip at oran park earlier this year and cracked it in 3 places.

still, I've had it welded up and am going to put it back on - I like the deep design to keep oil near the pickup

Yes it is possible to still run the Tomei baffle with a sump extension.

Why would you want a 6 inch blond when there are so many nicer 6 foot ones?

Who does the braided clutch lines? and what is the benefit of fitting? Thanks

    • 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.
