I am not game to even think about raising the idea of buying another car with my wife because I already have 9 cars in my driveway and garages.

These include R33 GTR, two R33 GTS-T's, R32 GTS25, Mazda SP20, Mazda 626, Toyoto Duel Cab Hilux 4X4, Suzuki 4X4 and a vintage Peugoet.

I think that I have just about got all of the bases covered and apart from owning shares in the RTA and Insurance companies my challenge is to hang on to what I have and to find the time to enjoy each of them.

there is a 06 V8 vantage i took on a test drive today at Italia Motori, doesn't have the punch i was expecting from it, then took the damelian r35 and a 360 f1 for a spin, r35 and modena are much better cars for similar price.... now deciding on the r35 vs modena, R35 is a much better car in almost every aspect except a black fresh modena looks better in my opinion, it'll keep its value much much better, the sound is pure sex (not that the r35 sounds bad, but ferrari sounds sweeter) also its only going to be a weekend car so to keep an r35 restricted with limmited usage would be a waste, so i'm leaning towards a nice black modena with tan interior...

oh also took a lotus for a spin, that is by far the BEST car ever invented, but not what i'm looking for

Tom,

I hate you. I just wanted to make this known to you.

That is all.

Thread is called "My next car" i'm just adding what my next car options are, theres more to life than cars.... actually no there isn't, cars are supreme....

Either way I'll seriously be thinking of bringing something special to July texi, i have a feeling my skyline's turbo will shit itself at this texi with the summer temps and the fact its been running 10-12 psi for the last year and a half as a daily, so if i'm going home on the back of a trailer you can have your revenge then lol

OMG Tom what do you do for a living? I need to change occupations i think!! :D

PS I concur with the lotus comment.

hopefully im gonna get R34 GTR v-spec 1 or 2 (my dream car) but if im rich (lol) probably get R34 GTR Z-TUNE but other than that i probably get a WRX STI coz its AWD. RWD is not my style..its good for drifting though lol

I was thinking 4.7 litre Vantage not the 4.3, or the V12, and I was also thinking 355, more classic ferrari not "Aero" ferrari

    • 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.
    • 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.
