']got some pics of my car today all shiny and clean haha and 1 with the new 17s on the back (just for a photo tho not leaving 17s on the back and 15s on the front! haha)

i reckon some AVS Model 6 rims, or Enkie 5 spokes would look sweet on the front in 17", with the Rays on the back. what you guys reckon?

Are the new rears the "rays" you're talking about? Personally,I think they're a bit skinny! I like the Wantanabe's better,maybe just with a fatter rear,but that's just me! :D Very nice looking DR by the way Ant! Very clean.That does look like an HR31 front lip,doesn't it......

0HR30T - yeh the rears are the Rays rims i got. they are a bit skinny i guess, 17x7s they are. the Watanabes are 15x6s. couldnt put my finger on quite what didnt look 'right' about the Rays but must be the width. im gonna hang onto the Watanabes too though, so i can pick and choose i guess. i think ill stick to Watanabes if ever get into club event/track type stuff so i dont mess up the 17s and to save on tyres haha but then it probably wont grip/handle aswell with the smaller wheels *shrug* :)

Yas - haha yeah man my exhaust is ****en huge. everyone always says that. it came on the car that muffler, its massive muffler and then 5.25" tip! u can easily fit ur closed fist into it with room to spare. probably a bit big but im not gona take it off haha you probably get a muffler with a 3 - 4" tip. probably be pretty hard to get one as big as mine anyway!! haha

good to see some life in these post again!!! asked prank to move the thread to a more fitting area... anymore power into a rb20 than 200rwkw and its time for new injectors and fuel pump..then its upwards and onwards to the 300rwkw mark, at or around that point it'll be time for a new bottom end or replace the bits left!! i'll be looking (over the next 12 months) to get to the 250rwkw mark that'll keep me happy.....HOPE WE LIKE OUR NEW HOME!!!

with rims: the R33 N/A skyline has the 4 stud pattern but does anyone know if the if offset is about the same? i've got my hands on a set of volk 16" rims from a r33 at next to nothing $$ wise..

dude id say that the offset is about the same, im only surmising however i know people that put NA R33 rims onto their s13s without troubles, and s13 rims generally fit 30's okay i think. so id say you'd be right with 16s from a 33!

0HR30T - can u even fit 9's on the back without coilovers n stuff? haha ill have to get some better rear-on angled sortof pics eventualy of the rims .. i only had 1 photo left on the digicam card so i just took 1 pic from a good general angle !

ah in classic skylines now i see , i stil used the link from general chat haha

9's would go under the stock rear end,but they'd have to be spot on the right offset I think.

This thread is now located in Classic Skyline's.Not in General Discussion....It's a new section a bit futher down the page....

and I notice no ones flamed me about my RB20 comments.... where's Ghostrider? :rofl:

Edit: ok,so I was too late :(

Hey all,

Just joined, I've got an '82 DR30, fj20t (of course) needs looots of tender loving care, just blew the box a couple of weeks ago, its got a box out of a 720 ute in it now :-) I had one lying around...just to add my 2 cents worth to the speed in second gear thing...I got 130kph at about 8000rpm :-) and it didn't seem to have any intention of slowing down.

Can't do it now though, only got about 0-90 now..gets there really fast though!!

Catch you all around.

hmm dunno why it says i have none either ... i wasnt too sure how to use the gallery thing took me a while to suss it out so maybe i didnt check a box somewhere along the line or something :) but they're in there haha

lol yeah man ****en love the shine! i used the red coloured Turtle Wax on the body, and then this bumper black stuff which is kinda like black shoe polish on the bumpers & side plastics to make sure they're black as the rest of the car. I love the side on pic where you see all reflections along the side :D

hmm now you guys make me want fatter rims haha ah well i just impulse bought those 17's i wasnt really intending on upgrading, just ive always liked the look of them and thought they'd match the car coz they look pretty old school (tho theyre made 1992 by the sticker on the inside, so theyre nearly 10 yrs younger than the car!). they have a +36 offset. not too sure how much room they have to the strut, probably couldve gone 0.5-1" wider. but like i say, i just bought them on a whim for 200$ the pair!

i was thinkin of getin some 16x7 enkies for the front rather than waiting for 17s .. but then 17s will look better =]

hey [ant] is it really worth all that shine cos winter means a lotta shitty weather hey... ^^ my car needs a bit of a polish but i cbb (cant be bothered) cos its just gonna rain on it again =P

i uploaded photos too and it still doesnt have that photos = 0 with a link on my name...

yeah the shine will go ... but my car has a bit of scratch on the passenger door under the doorhandle, and a scrape along the wheel arch/side on passenger side also .. i polished it day after i bought it (new years eve last year haha) and it covered those up .. then i noticed them again after i washed it, so i just polished those areas, & they ended up looking way shinier than the rest so i had to do the whole car!!

cant hurt anyway, puts a coating of polish on it again. ill wait till the scratches show up again which'll probly be around october or so and ill polish it up again ready for summer time cruising! haha

got a question for all you dr30 guru's...the brake pads, are they the same as another model or something 'cause I'm having hells own job finding out anything about them. Someone said they thought (the fronts I'm assuming) are the same as the ones from a model of 720, anybody know any more than this?

thanks.

they are different to the other models, have you read the post from the start as theres heaps of info on brakes back there some where, i might go to my first post and put some kind of page index for the different things we've talked about!

i have to say go the endless greenstuff for the front and black stuff for the rear and you wont look back...

    • 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.
