I always like watching in car footage :yes:

What's done to the car? She looks like a bit of a handful in some spots, but having said that I've never driven PI. It looks like you're really wide on a few of the corners, but again that is probably my lack of knowledge of that circuit.

Respect for putting up footage of yourself :thanks: You're a bit calmer when you have an off than I am, I get Tourettes syndrome.

Eek. PI is pretty scary when the weather is changable. Slick in parts but ok in others leave me with no idea of grip levels. Better when it just poors and its slippery everywhere :kiss:

Hope you didnt have too much fun in your road car, you may find it starts getting parts of the race car :D ...and that means the race car stays a statue in the back yard :)

Car is basically stock with FMIC, and 14 psi of boost Eibach springs and KYB AGX shockers. I still had 40kg+ of stereo gear and spare tyre in the back to try to weight the car better.

Handful yes, Hicas is still working which made it pretty skittish. I think inexperience on my part for most of the errors.

Exploring the grip on RE55's is exciting especially when they are cold :D

I learned heaps on the day and managed to pull 10+ seconds off my first lap till the 3rd session. I ws badly held up by traffic in the last session whihc was a shame as I think there was another 2 sec's in the car.

The white and silver R33's where very very fast.

Plenty of fun times to look forward to when the real race car is finished. :kiss:

The off's where quite funny, I was actually quite calm. The 4wd track :) seemed to be in slow motion. I had a heap of time to think what to do. Couldnt turn so waited for the tyre wall to finish before I turned it. :) Would have gone straight across into the wall if I had of gone straight over the road.

Couldnt see the edge of the tarmac due to the sun sitting on the road. Only overcooked it a bit :D

Well done, looks slippery and pretty hairy in parts. I am sure you had to check you paints after the off over the top section at lukey heights looking at that tyre barrier coming up pretty quick - i think i moved to the left of the screen watching it!!!!

Looking at the times, which cars were the white and silver R33's?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      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.
