what got us into these japanese works of art????

i was 11 my sister had just told me that she had a new boyfriend

i wasnt to keen on this idea but i quickly changed my mind once i heard the rb

engine roaring loudly from 3 streets away . as he rolled down the street in the 32 gtst

slowly with the engine purring the hairs on my neck raised intrigued by this merciless

sound and the sharp lines from bonnet to boot i was in awe of this beast. after 9 years of riding in this

200kw weapon i now was now on my way to picking up my soon to be brother in law in

my r33 gtst with a smile from ear to ear and i have moved only forward cause everyone else is behind me... :)

A friend of my bought a S13 through Prestige Motor Sport and then he showed me the price of a R32 GTR, they were going for relativity quite cheap and so I waited for a few years longer and finally got one.

For what you pay and the performance you got was great.

Just a shame the less powerful GTO would absolutely ass rape it in a straight line :blink:

I spent many many hours tweaking the gears ratios to compete with that thing. Annoyed the hell out of me.

But back OT... Same. The GTR in GT1 got me into them :blink:

GranTurismo 1 ftw. I remember when I was like 5 or 6, going to my mates place to play his PSone. On the rare occasion, his bro would let us touch, then use his memory card (with the best cars you could get in the game :P). GTR was then set forever and ever ;)

It certainly wasn't love at first sight for me

I was never a car person, cars flew completely under my radar until FnF came out at the movies, although I now look back in shame, to a hormone fuelled punk teenager like myself at the time this movie was a wet dream and it triggered my interest in imports

I wanted a supra (back in the day p platers had no restrictions), but they were too expensive for me at the time so an unassuming silver R33 caught my eye at the car lot and the rest is history

I've now had 3 skylines and a 350z

I'm having my mid life crisis now so I don't have to look like a tool having a mid life crisis later on :P

oh, and inital D - gunmetal 32 ;)

Thats what got me interested in skylines & cars in general.

Too bad in the show the dude who drives the GT-R sucks, he lost every major race we see him in (3 in total; vs AE86, vs FD3S, vs EVO 4) & ends up crashing the car twice (in the AE86 & EVO 4 race) :P

My mother was co-driving in one in Targa Tas, and the guy took me for a run down the road in his road R32 GTR, Was already pretty obsessed (Sound, Group A racing etc) and the way that it just came into a corner and the back sat out, and just ripped itself out of the corners.. Then going for a ride in Morg's 350+ atw monster (RIP) and the way it would step out in 4th gear, accelerate sideways, and not once feel like it was actually going to let go

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      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.
