You can also buy them directly from Otaku Garage in Australia. Thats where I got mine from. Really nice Billet CNC ones.

I did it on a neo head in a 32. What do you want to know? Use the above adapter plate and it works fine.

Awesome, Thanks! got any tips or tricks for someone about to do it?

I bought one of these, and it looks like its not going to seal. like the mounting holes for the R33 side are in the wrong spot.

The hole pattern on the R33 side just needs to be moved down a touch, to get the hole inside the sealing area. I've contacted them, not sure if I'll have any luck. Was thinking of filling over the bolt head with some grey silicone gasket to seal  it.

You can't just move a hole bro, then it won't line up to the thread.

Good luck with it!

Was just commenting on what I think Otaku garage need to change to fix this problem. My possible solution was to bolt up the adaptor, then cover the head of the offending bolt with silicone gasket, hoping to give the factory gasket something to seal against.

I'm not holding my breath that Otaku garage is going to do anything to fix the issue.

 

Here is one that used to be sold on ebay, you can see the positioning of the holes is different, and would make the bolt clear of the edge of the valve/gasket.

Mate I have made heaps of these, that work, and I can tell you that one in the picture would have the holes in the same spot. The difference is the hole diameter would be smaller to not cause the issue you have. I think that guy used Phillips screws to hold it. When I made mi e I used countersunk Allen head bolts  and for that bolt I machined the head down so it didn't cause that issue, with a smaller countersink diameter of course. The issue is so obvious I can't believe they make and sell them as is.

I contacted them, and they say they've sold 100's of them without any issues. I'm not happy with it, and would like to return it. But there is no alternative to purchase. You wouldn't happen to have any for sale?

    • 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.
