I'd be up for one of them, Mines got a bit of damage which I have just bogged up. So that would be good.

I'm currently looking into making a fibreglass bonnet for my car. Not sure how well it will work but atleast it will give me something to do.

what style are you thinking as id put up some $$ for an iron mask drift style one :wassup:

do you have pics for this drift style iron mask?  would be interested if it looked the goods. :mad:

i'm thinking along the lines of those twin inward air ducts that allows more air flow through the radiator, think i posted a pic of a r31 version ages ago, i'll try to find a pic of what i'd be looking for in a bonnett :):)

Yeah I was thinking of something like a big backwards vent for more air flow. But yeah as I said I don't know how this will work, My mate does a fair bit of fibre glass work and is gonna give me a hand so have to wait and see.

I havent taken them yet :mad:  Law and managing a Blockbuster is leaving sfa time atm

plus I accidentally deleted your pm with your email

Shit eh! Blockbuster Manager????? hope you do it better there than they do it here.

I do all the security work for them here in Campbelltown, Narellan, & Minto (affectionately known as minnow, by the houseo's)

So we see them eventually eh!

I'm going to punch a couple of dozen louvres into my bonnet

hm my cars a DR30 iron mask turbo but has no vent in the bottom left. just normal front .. i often think i wish it had some kind of hole for air to get up to the Pod filter .. i had an NA front spoiler on my S13 so i cut like a grille style thing into the bumper to let air to up there a bit... not too keen on doing that to the DR though! :(

saw a couple of carbon fibre bonnets on Jap websites for DR30 iron mask ... thatd be damn cool ! costly though id imagine to buy a bonnet from jap and get it brought here :D i think i converted the cost at the time and it was like $850 to begin with before freight and tax and gst and watever else :)

']what grille? im confused? haha u mean that small bit of metal beneath the edge of the bonnet with 2 rectangle holes in it?  

and how would u open that up nemore!? haha  

just need like a Jenesis style front spoiler with big opening on it :(

Just hang in there for a while longer, I will probably be turning them out by the end of the year.

JENESIS style front bars

yes, your front grille.  Rather than messing with the bonnet, why not think about altering the grille?  Anyways, just thinking about costs.

You obviously don't know what a DR Tekamon grille looks like, otherwise you wouldn't make this comment.

AND [ant] it's fibreglass not metal!

ah fibreglass right. mine has a few chips touched up so it looks sorta metal but then yeh it does have a slightly different colour shade to the rest of the car so i guess that explains it =] mine rattles like all hell wen u tap on it and over bumps sometimes but i guess thats the metal sortof retaining thing inside of it making the racket !

    • 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.
