my wife is 'grounded' at home anyway with the baby till at least another 2 weeks... (the asian 1 full moon confinement thing)

by the way I didn't call or make any reservation at garage cafe as I assume this is just a greet & meet at 2:30pm?

Yeah, greet and meet...and to freeze our "balls" off....

Maybe the next meet, we can book at Garage Cafe...

There's many who have read this thread, but seems reluctant to come...This is a NOTE TO ALL, the more that come and meet, the more of a 'Force' we become and the more events can be arranged in future...

Rianto - you wife is Asian? Yes, I know the 1st month thingy ('cos I'm Asian too), the baby is supposed to be 1 yr old after the 1st month...

yeah, that's why I am 1 year older in my chinese / lunar year compared to my gregorian year...

although I can't still quite grasp 100% the concept since babies are average about 9 1/2 month in the belly plus 1 month since born that's not even 11 month, but considered 1 year old according to lunar calendar... oh well but that's the way it is for over thousands of year since they come up with lunar calendar system... maybe it's like golf handicap thing, they get free 3 month handicap before even conceived :D LOL

Thanks to all for coming...we had 7 members today!!! Not sure if you guys noticed, but there were a few drive-by on-lookers checking out the rims and cars...

V35 Coupes:

rs73 (Rianto)

MILLOS (Pablo)

BenzLe (Benny)

scorp (Sam)

pw350gt (Yun)

V35 Sedans:

Pics are available in Hi-res upon request. Please also PM me your contact numbers and email addresses, so I can add you on MSN.

I was happy with the turnout, considering there wasn't many interest!!! Hopefully, the next V35 VIC Meet will be greater by number and at a place where we weren't freezing our balls off....

There was a general consensus to have a baking day...NO! Not the cooking/baking, but baking headlights to remove the orange blinkers...Once I perfect it on my sedan (when I get some more $$$ to order my new headlights), I'll get something arranged...

Stuff discussed included:

Do's and don'ts

What was worth modifying (grounding kit, CAI, bulbs, HID)

Bose Stereos & Compliancing

Ricer stuff....

Personally, I liked MILLOS's deep dish rims and pw350gt's CF paddle shifts....Very ricer!!!

Nelson.

More pics from my camera....

2nd pic was experimental with one of the camera features - colour accent... so only red is shown...

it was freaking cold out there, quite windy but good turn out... i'm sure there's lots more V35 owners to join in the future....

Unique things to highlight from our meet:

Only 1 car has original orange indicator (mine)

Only 1 car has rear windscreen wiper/rear camera (siu loong bao's)

Only 1 coupe has original 18" rim

Only 1 car has rear aero spoiler

Only 1 car has sunroof (V35Sky's)

Only 1 car has factory weather shield on the window (V35 300GT)

Only 1 pair of badgless bootlid (yeah, I'm running out of idea)

Added: Probably the best of them all... 1 40th Anniversary coupe with cream interior/full leather was "downgraded" to regular premium with half suede leather/black interior. Sorry to the owner but I just can't help it... :rofl:

good to hear a good turn up at the vic v35 meet, wished i was there! maybe next time... just taken my car to the final inspection, will post some photos when i get it back monday!

congrats for showing our pride n joy.

Hey guys,

I had a great time meeting you all this afternoon, I think we had a magnificent turn out considering we only had 5 confirmed and 3 maybes.

The cars all looked great, it was good to meet you all.

I will attach some pictures of each of the cars that turned out, front and back of each of the seven cars, and one other!!!

Also discussed at the meet was the idea of doing a cruise next time, now that we have gotten the first meet and greet out of the way, we could probably be more comfortable with a cruise!!!

    • 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.
