anyone in done this?

the 25mm wider front and rear guards from viva garage are quite cheap and could make a decent upgrade for me to fit wider rims with lower offset

from what i understand the rear gaurds need to be cut up and then these put into place

but if others have done this how much has it cost you to fit and paint them??????????????? let me know cheers , even if youve just done the rears a price range would help ive contacted a few places in sydney and they cant even give me a rough estimate , the fronts shouldnt be too expensive, but i did want to patch up the holes for the brake ducts coz i dont really like them

I would be interested in knowing the costs involved as well.

I agree with you DaGr81 the brake ducts don't look very appealing but I couldn't find any other fenders without them either.

ill be doin this sometime next month when i can be bothered already got the gaurds just need to fit em and buy a gtr fuel lid

as far as it goes screw it on with sikaflex then fibreglass it onto the body

although i hear theres a bonding agent that you use to fill the gap between the gaurds and shell of car and then you just sand it back and bog over it

Yeah i done this to my r33 awhile back.

Basically have to chop the cars lip. Sikalfex the guard on, counter sink in some screws or rivets cut back 10cm or so from the ends of the panel and use fibreglass to mould it on and body filler to smoothen it out.

Costed me about $350 for the guards and $1000 to get it moulded on. 6 months down the track it started to get hairline cracks at the joins, so i went with GTR metal rear guards instead.

      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

      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.
