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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
