well you got 500cc over me... but I got less weight (well if i take the amp n subs out). I also got mandrel bent extractors and 2.5" exhaust all the way (my only claim to mods), front n rear struts, and apparently aftermarket shocks... so it should be good. My tyres are wierd, they're goodyear f1's which i swear I will never use in my life again... they slide for any reason. Luckily I got LSD n stuff.

I guess this means its on... next drags we have... we shall race to see who takes home the "consolation prize for n/a drivers" trophy. :)

Just saw this thread, good to see something for us NA boys!!

FunkyMonkey, you are not alone! ive also got the RB20DE in my R32!

regarding the RB30 conversion, a bloke here in canberra is currently doing one with a NICS RB20 head and a GTR twon turbo zorhst manifold, the only problems so far that he has come across is the mounting points for the exhaust manifold dont quite line up as in the tabs on the manifold are in the completely wrong places, nothing that a couple of hours with a welder wont fix!

also with the RB30, the standard head uses a 2 valve per cylinder system while the actual original pistons have allowances for 4 per cylinder (if u get what i mean confused myself with that one!) and where the timing belt tensioner goes, there is a blocked off section of the engine that just requires to be drilled out and a thread tapped into it

almost makes the conversion sound easy!

hehehe yeah conversions always seem so simple

btw, i MIGHT be selling my old rb25de and gearbox ecu and loom after i put the rb25deT in :P

it got me 96rwkw UNTUNED (timing was well off so it should make around 100 maybe more and thats not that far off the r32 gtst's stock power :D

so yes, i will work out what im doing then advertise here first before advertising out to the public (if i decide to sell)

I jus got a valuation for my car done... currently its valued at more than an R32 GTSt hehehe reason being that its no longer available for import and R32 compliance plates are rarer than hen's teeth :P

So I think I might keep my "beast" in stock form till I decide to get a better car (betcha I end up with an R32 GTR). I might jus concentrate on the interior (leather upholstery n AV n stuff). Not like I get to go fast these days anyways...

I'm def gettin old... goin fast no longer appeals to me, I like doin the corners and puttin the handling of the car to its limits better.

Funkeymonkey am I to believe that you've got some aftermarket extractors on your beast? Did you fit them and if so where did you get 'em. My standard system is about kapoot and I've gotta start looking around, thought I may as well go for the lot. By the way, just thought I'd let you know I recently drove from Tassie to Sunshine Coast and back, not one stone chip.

lol juniorrrrrr (u can change what it says btw)

anyways, yeah i got aftermarket Jasma stainless steel extractors on mine, it came attached to a whole 2.5" mild steel exhaust (all mandrel bent)... but the mild steel went kapoot, and my compliancer put a very restrictive cat in the system creating a bottleneck, so I got rid of it n put a hi flo 2.5" cat and redid the whole exhaust in stainless steel n mated it to the extractors.

All up the extractors were free and the cat back exhaust cost me $900 (with labour... whole job was done in 4 hours).

hey funky......

i made that trip to sydney we were talking about a while ago...

i did get a few stone chips from different things...i was amazed with the amount of skylines and just general imports around the liverpool/enfild/bankstown area where i was staying.....

going to bed, i still tired from leaving melb fri morn, then leaving syd sun morn hehehe

cheers

lol u'r smack bang in the heart of leb/import car city lol...

you'll have plenty of street drags in that area :D and you'll see a lot of done up excels and gemini's too... be careful of them... if you see em juscut em off... they dun deserve to be on the road... don't worry about ettiquette, everybody else in sydney hates em too...

oh and all syd drivers will think you can't drive, so jus run em off the road too...

    • 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.
