Bags are for groceries :P

Always had shit static... considered a cup kit but meh id rather spend 4k on a jz halfcut for the 14

Got a commonwhore for dailying and station duties. This is just for everything else and wouldnt want to ruin it with sloppy bags... nothing worse than seeing some mexican thing jacked up driving along.

We try.. lol. Most of those cars are faaaast apart from a few of us P platers. See my mates red v35 in the middle with GTR front? he just spent 20k on that paint and body kit.. too much money

miners have too much money.. they should give me some of it

Congrats on the purchase Tony, they are indeed a great looking car and rare for that matter. De badging is a great idea, i get people snapping necks to look at the front grille.. then realise it's emblemless haha.

I notice you have one of those underbody reverse lights is it?

Thanks mate. The car is actully more well travelled than I am, this was imported from Japan to Britan to Australia where i am the first registered owner. This is why I had the underbody fog lights cause the Brits have such horrible weather. Thankfully it was easy enough to remove as it looked like a big red pimple on it's arse, although now my high mount stop light is now not actually connected at all :whistling:

Actually, how are other peoples front number plates attached to their cars? Mine had a massive plastic section for the brit plates, and now the current plate does not hid the old srew holes as seen in the front pic here. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Can I get another plastic section to attach the plate, or is cutting them off my only option?

Yeah good question it's the same sort of thing at the back with the two hanging hooks don't suit Australian no. Plates. I never bothered to take them off - a few people told me to remove them and just bolt the plates to the bar.. But I worried about scratching the bar. Also removing the back rack the plates mount on would leave a big hole. Really interested what people have used for this. I was contemplating shopping around this week for something.

nice, that's a good upgrade. Wrong badge though.

The Jap owner put Infiniti badges on it for some reason. Everything inside says nissan, engine says PV36 ^_^

Just trying to find a different grill that will fit it, having trouble finding parts for a 2008. Lots of confusion online over it being the same as a G35 or a G37. Hoping to find a new grill & sports lip, plus I need to find somewhere to tint the tail lights. Anybody know where to go? I've seen pre cut tint on eBay but haven't tried it.

Loving it at the moment, but noticing it chugging every now and then, maybe from a tank of BP 95? I can't hear the engine from inside the car so I don't notice the gear change as much as I did in the R33, the chug has a similar feel to changing gears (auto) but over & over quickly. Drove it from Syd to Adel so maybe it needs a service.

The all jap computer is a little annoying, english manuals have helped but I wish I could disable Navi all together, esp seeing as I can't replace the cdplayer/navi without stuffing everything up. Been experimenting with a 7" Android tab and a Galaxy S3 as carputer replacement. To many adapters & wires though, I need a old Galaxy Tab P1000 as that has RCA out. Newer android's use MHL, so have to go micro usb > hdmi > rca.

Have HEAPS of Galaxy S3's lying about in pieces though, so trying to slave touch from the default screen but haven't had any luck. I think i'd have more luck with a specific tab as screen with a i/o that'l work.

Missing the R33 turbo as well, luckily it hasn't sold yet so I still drive it sometimes ;)

    • 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.
