My Bonnet wont shut damn it!!!!!! the R34 bonnet height must be slightly different to the R33 When using a stock manifold as it is hitting on the BOV flange. I redrilled the engine mounts as per the manual but it still isn't quite low enough. It just gets on the 1st click of the bonnet latch, So I will try washers on the bonnet hinge and or chop the top lip off the BOV flange and re tap a bolt in lower.

I'll let you know what I do to get around the height problem, but a Greddy plenum would have been the easiest solution while the motor is out.

Did you slot the engine mounts?

Are you still using T/C? if not, I can give you an RB20 crossover pipe to try, it mounts teh bov in a different orientation.

Mine only hit on the lip of the timing belt cover and forward corner of the intake manifold.

Let me know if you want me to come take a look Chris :thumbsup:

Hey Bubba, cheers for the offer I may take you up on that at a later point.

Yes I slotted and rewelded the engine mounts to the max. I'm still using the T/C throttle body but it has no butterfly fitted. It didn't end up hitting the throttle body it self but the rubber sleeve between the throttle body and the cast aluminum pipe that the BOV mounts to.

what I ended up doing is cutting a small slot out of the bonnet to clear the joiner/throttle body. Then took a ball peen hammer to the crappy Just jap IC pipe that runs accross the radiator. as it was clashing with the CAS sensor. the piping looks like crap but its good enough to get the car running on and i'll get a replacement bent up later as i have well and truly used up all the goodwill with borrowing my mothers car.

A simpler fix would have been to use a R33 throttle body and get a pipe bent up to replace the cast ally peice.

Nice work, but the most important question is, skids?:)

I have to find some time to duck up to the workshop and pull my pistons out, then I can send everything to the machinist!

Josh DO IT, it has so much torque every where compared to the Rb25 with a hiflow. I mean 3rd gear 2krpm from walking pace tractored straight up a damn steep hill.

So if im using the r32 rb25de head with standard throttle body and piping It should prevent the fouling on the bonnet if i get the mounts to sit as low as possible? Im not too keen to go front facing if i don't have to.

just remove the nice cover off the bonnet put a big dollop of grease along your throttle body to BOV. drop the bonnet down see were its got grease. pull out trusty 5" angle grinder and remove the small peice of bracing. bonnet sorted. But you still need to drop the motor to the absolute max, and for good measure i put 2 washers under the bonnet hinge and lifted the bonnet latch a few MM.

and chuck the cover back on? Im just concerned as I'm planning on getting the car all certified for the streets afterwards and don't want it to effect that. How is your conversion coming along anyway?

yeah mate, just spray some primer over the raw edges and then put the cover back on. what you can't see aint gonna hurt them mate. its not like you have removed all the bracing . just 100x100mm square.

My cars running and tuned done 2000k's, made 366hp 500nm @ 5500rpm. needs a little more boost and she will be sweet.

I'll have to take some pics, the turbo is a hypergear 3576. running 16psi. it doesn't make massive power but its mega fun to drive.

366hp still a decent amount for the street tho :happy: I bet it is a lot of fun!!

      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.
