ha yeah the ol' donkey punch, not for the faint hearted aye :D

i think (when i rob the local bank :banana: ) will go 26, want the car to remain standard(ish)...... ive got no gauges, not lowered, no aftermarket spoilers, the car has LMGT4's and looks like it came out of the factory. i was even gutted when my mechanic said i needed a FMIC and an aftermarket BOV.

i kinda like the idea that one day my car might be a classic, alot of my friends have modifyed their cars so much that it would take the purchase price of the car to get them back to standard. hey my car would look better lowered, but compared with my mates supra with his entire aftermarket spoiler kit cracking and falling of because its so low and the adjustables are so hard its like hitting the car with a slege hammer everytime he hits a bump, ill think ill stick wih the dirty ol' engine she was made to run with and hopefully may hold its value a bit.

but hey it sounds like the 30 is the way to go for power/torque, and well, everything else!

as of today, ive taken the plunge & picked up my block, pistons, rods etc for my rb30dett build (after 4months of decision making on which way to go)

i just cant go past the results RIPS have attained with their rb30's over the years - i always want more power :banana:

besides, if keir wilsons well respected gtr is good enough for an rb30 then so is my gtr

keir wisons cars run the ol OS GIKEN RB30.. Its a bit different to the rb30 found in the vl/r31.. Plus they're 20k for a bottom end, makes r.i.p.s prices look like a steal!

RB30 gives RB26 a 4 second head start and goes for it for under half of the dragstrip and the RB26 won = RB30 gave RB26 a little too much of a headstart?

you snooze you loose!

RB26 cuts a 0.05 light...RB30 cuts a 1.02 light...race is won at the tree.

RB26 wins by an 8th of a mile. :sweat:

NOTE: the RB26 was street driven to the race meeting.

    • 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.
