Hey when i bought my car it had a slight rattle sound coming from underneath.. The rattle sound would only come on if my foot wasnt on the gas it sounds like a rock hitting something or a bit of metal knocking against something. After a month of having my car I was nearrly involved in a acident which caused me mount a curb to miss this car. Lucky no cosmetic damage was done but it made a big Boom when i hit the curb..(I hit the front tyre and yer did a sorta bunny hop over it).. I pulled over to check if any damage and yer none as i said.. then i start driving and i notice after a few minutes that the rattle sound was gone.. I WAS LIKE WOOOPP WOOOP.. then just today ive hit a curb by being a fkn idiot having my seet all the way down and driving gangsta styles lol.. And now the rattle has come back to haunt me.. If anyone would be able to help me with this curb ball :P its doing my head in already .. makes me not want to drive my car :P and i love driving !!! HELP PLZZZ

Is it coming from the cat area? Sometimes the welds break inside the pipe and you get bits of metal caught in the cat that rattles like a mofo, better or worse depending on gas flow. The other option is to get it up on stands and just take a look.

Let us know how you go.

i mounted an island once because some old man with a stupid acubra hat didnt keep his lane,,,,, I used to get a grinding sound when i put the car in reverse or when i dropped the gear without accelterating, it sounded like stone grinding..... anyway lifted it up and it was a piece of mettal that got bent and was rubbing on the rear axle, i just bent it out of the way..... cant remeber if the metal was from one of the exhaust mounts or an axle guard...

anyway it would be something simple like that

      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.
