nice painting skills.

but i think it looks a bit weird the way the black comes so close to the front wheel, and cuts in at the headlight half way.

would have looked better on a slant, with the whole front in black, including black front bar.

sort of like this

It's good that you like it.

it's your car.

You were after opinions..

I just think the black comes down too far.

and it makes it look as though it wasn't thought out very well (to me!).

I don't mind cars which are 2 toned with a massive range of colours.. even those ugly gold and brown silvia's look ok sometimes.

but this black comes down too far I think.

As someone mentioned earlier, if it had stopped at the bonnet/top of the guards level, it would have looked great.

Mine is painted Westinghouse white from factory and I think it looks better than that combo you've done.

Having said that, I like both the black or the candy red you used, but on their own. not in that design.

Geez so much hate...

It's your car man, if you like how it turned out then f**k what the rest of the people here think.

I like it, not my idea of PERFECT but it's very different, at least you're not the same as every other man and his dog.

why is it so important to be different than everyone else?

I don't get the obsession.

Why the fark do you want to be the same?????? :(

Fark, it will be a boring place if we all did the same things, had the same opinions, drive the same cars, had the same colour/mods/power/handling/etc/etc/etc.............................

true thanks heaps. i chose to be different because when you go to a show or an event there's nothing worse than seeing the same car over and over. i posted these photo's just to see how it would be viewed by other people and and alot of you like it and alot of you dont and thats cool. but if it bothers you that much and it's (yuck,worst you've seen) looks like shit or what ever just think you dont own it and you dont have to live with it. if its that bad please SAU delete this thread and my apologize if i offended all the skyline owners of australia.

    • 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.
