can anyone get these made up?. i would love that set up on my 33gtr, or is anyone selling one?. bernie

Im having one made up along with a slightly different design.

Can get more made but shipping would be a pain/expense

I got a price on them which I think were 400-500 for fronts alone.

The local 'race brakes' are only 150 for fronts, my mate who was doing 1:07 at wakefield in a stock r32gtr did back2back testing with a no. of pads including some jap brands and bendix ultimate, in terms of braking power and wear the race brakes came out on top.

If anyone is interested I can find his email and post it here?

Bernie - that is a custom job BUT the apexi n1 system is the same with 2 x 3inch pipes and straight off the shelf

cheers marko, we dont really have exhaust people here that can mandrel bend and supply silencers of that qaulity, what would one cost made in oz and shipped to me..lol any takers.lol

my hks preist would probably give me 400 uk back to spend

To get a full system done in 4inch including front pipes is approx 4k aud, now to run 2 x 3 inch pipes I'd assume would be more than as it is essentially 2 exhaust systems + shipping which I would think is 500 aud.

Bernie, what's the latest with your donk :merli: nothing worse than an engine failure, other than a funeral

Try Racer Industries in Bris. Mine cost $276/pair. The 4-500 sounds like some more serious Mu pads.

quick update:

my new brake setup feels phenominal...the combination of refaced factory rotors, 'race brakes' pads & motul factory line brake fluid gives me all the confidence i need, dont know how long they would last on the track though with over 400awkw :D thats ok, i'll just turn down the wick on track days (if/when i get out there)

for the 1st time, i activated my abs with fark all pressure on the pedal haha

i have noticed that my pedal sinks lower to the floor though than previously, is there an adjustment to bring in the contact point a bit earlier?

cost. if i upgrade my braking system though, i will get k-sports all around which will set me back about 4k.

refaced discs = $100

f&r pads = $300

brake fluid = $70

i also dont think i need huge brakes for the street - the likes of duncan who race in production advises that the factory gtr brakes are quite good when setup right.

i know with the power i have i should get bigger brakes - for now though, im wrapped & dont see the requirement :D

come to think of it - if i ever break this box like i did in my other gtr, i'd probably just get another gtr box exchange unit...these days u can get them for under $1000.

what is the cost to get an os gearset fitted in a box (i'd do the r&r myself)?

well its $ 2,848.10 + shipping for the 5 gear kit from RHDjapan at the moment, plus what ever it costs to have it fitted into the box/replace synchros/bearings (i remember something about the R32 box needing some R33 parts as they were stronger/better?)

Well, if you break one and spend another $1000 on another stock unit it makes sense at least to me to get the upgraded box cause the next stock one will just break again. That's my thinking anyway

when I enquired for my box I think it was something like 1500?

Then of course a donor box (350 or so for a worn out one) and a gearset (price of course depends on how wild you go)

well if it was going to cost me 3kish i'd definitely take that path. that is very cheap!

i should speak to terry @ award diff for a price on fitting the gearset.

i always thought it was up around the 7k mark?

apparently the input shaft also needs to be upgraded as well on the r32.

    • 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.
