birds i doubt you drive your skyline correctly.. you prbaly nurse it for some un known reason.

how many accidents have you been on before you call me niiave? car accidents are 99% of the time clear cut where the blame lies its not rocket science if ur hit in the right of from behind whose fault it was whether they've got a hyundai or a skyline.

you talk a lot of shit man honestly.. you cant even believe it yourself.

I nurse my Skyline throughout the course of daily driving because there's a time and a place for spirited driving IMO. I can wait til DECA.

I've been in alot of car accidents. Some my fault, most not, fortunately. I know alot of people who've been in car accidents and I've seen more than a fair share of lawsuits over car accidents. The reason I say you're naiive when it comes to car accidents is because you think it's so clear cut and that people won't do everything they can to save their ass, particularly if they don't have insurance. Work by the assumption that most human beings are out for themselves and even the most honest of people when fronted with a situation that can land them in SHIT will stoop pretty low to avoid said shit.

Hit from the right:

-Pulled out from a side street and you didn't give way to the oncoming traffic

-You were part of the oncoming traffic and someone turning right didn't give way to you

-You went straight through a roundabout and the people turning didn't indicate

-You pulled out of a parking spot and didn't see the car approaching from behind

-You both changed lanes at the same time, moving into the middle lane and sideswiping or lovetapping each other. Who indicated first?

Hit from behind:

-Driver behind didn't brake soon enough / didn't leave enough distance between car in front

-Driver behind got hit by car behind launching them into car in front (you should see the law suits that come from these)

-Car in front didn't have working brakelights

-Car in front intentionally slammed on brakes to scare tailgating driver

-Car in front reversed into car behind

-Car behind was performing a U turn at a median strip and plowed into a car reversing down the side of the street that he/she was turning into

These are quite common but even if you want to call them unusual scenarios I will tell you that it is usually an unusual scenario that warrants the accident in the first place - a change to the norm makes people f*** up during autonomous processes such as driving. Do tell me to go on with some more scenarios, but I know you hate my novels so perhaps my last post in response to you / this topic. Not that you were listening anyway.

Wow, didn't logged on till now and just realised it has turned into some fiery discussion...

I've been driving my skyline everyday over the past 6 years, both R33 turbo (in RED) and my current V with big rims.

Not being stopped once for no reason, the only times got pulled over a couple of time was was due to own fault.

my fair share of driving daily over these years I've noticed a wide spread of dickheads and tools on the road, consisting of:

- the usual falcodores

- magnas

- camrys

- 4WD (black ford & red shitbox pajero)

- white toyota corolla

- yellow S15

- blue V35

- bmw 3xx

they're just everywhere no matter what car they drive

PEACE! to all you brothers and sisters EXCEPT...

1. dudes with post-alcohol aggression

2. girls at premensis time

3. tools in commowhores

4. short mums in 4WDs

5. those with post-operative depression

6. anyone prone to road rage

7. hoons that don't deserve skylines

8. plods that seek out to defect skylines

9. dills on drugs 'n drive

10. ricers

11. grey haireds with impaired vision

12. car thieves

May the judges :) you from even owning a scooter > become a pedestrian ! :)

whilst true, unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

birds you just like to deliver tl;dr rants, tbqh you deserve the ribbing you get for having the POS stock wheels on LOL.

Yes obvious troll is obvious, just as unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

I see your troll and raise you another troll. What did you ditch the stock rims for RB20 fanboi? 13 inch wheels with 165/25/R13 so your car could actually move off the line?

probably not, like how we missed out on the CA18 R32 (dammit!)

Damn you could have had even less torque than you have now. Imagine how much fun you'd have f***ing around with that real drivers car that needs to be driven instead of sitting in 4th gear all the time.

I'd drive it to the LIMIT like all small motors are meant to be! if only it were legal to retrofit an a12 motor in aaaaah.

got your powerglide in yet? they are quite suited to the way R33 owners drive :)

just FYI birds, all cool dudes drive around on 4 space savers, shit is SO hellaflush

tbqh your car would also look better with R32 stockies lol

I dont really find there to be to much of a negative stereotype with skylines, the only old person I know who has even mentioned it is my mates dad who is like 1 rank below being the state police commissioner. Most of my grandparents/uncles/aunts and parents friends responses to my car are along the lines of: "thats actually a nice looking suzuki coupe (the "S" on the bonnet :devil: ) you have there son, I didn't know they made sports cars.. which model is this?"

    • 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.
