Hi all,

Just bought some new wheels for the V35.

Pics don't really do it justice. It looks the biz.

Big thanks to n15m0 for his advice.

Also thanks to Thuy at J-Imports for looking after a pain in arse customer. That would be me. :)

And last but not least thanks to Chris Rogers for the big fit out a few weeks ago. Awesome work. The car is now IPOD'd, DVD'd, TV'd and Cruised.

I think I've now spent enough money for a while, time to sit back and enjoy the car.

screen - 10" item went in easyish. worst part was clearing the sunroof running gear.

Ipod - neo item I use. charges the Ipod and works. helps if the unit is charged first :)

cruise control - this is the FIRST VQ30DD unit I have done - thanks to CARMEN IMPORTS for the test car to help set this one up. for those wondering - this unit has different software to the 3.5 lt version.

HITV - PURE II digital TV tuner. all the remote eyes for this and the DVD unit are hidden in the AC display. nice and neat. only giveaway to anything in the car is the drop screen.

this system is zoned so you can watch DVD or TV independently of the rear screen.

and of course it has a rather nasty F'off alarm on it :)

Autowatch unit - I'm not saying anymore. it added a much needed remote boot release to this car and the ability to find it. that said no one in Nurioopta knows what it actually is yet.

Very nice setup you have there Geoff! Shame Chris didn't come down a few weeks later - I got my V35 Friday week ago. Ah well, will get the cruise off him and get my guy here to fit it when he chucks in my alarm next week.

We will definitely have to catch up and get some shots of them together - I got a coupe in the end, not a sedan fyi.

Hi Andrew,

New car looks good.

Give me a yell when you want to catch up.

Cheers

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
