suspension bushes as far as i know will deteriorate if lubed, but i'm just a sparky so.... your starter motor bushes could do with a drop of oil!!!! :D :crazy:

very happy with alarm, no problems at all :D the only thing that i could complain about is the external siren is a little quiet compared to some of my mates ones...but its loud enough, just not deafening bastard loud :D

have you had any time to play around with ur headlights so both low and high beam come on together?

I'm pretty sure you don't need to lube any suspension bushes in the Skyline. You just replace them when they wear out (start leaking). As already said, urethane bushes are the way to go either when they need replacing, or when you want to upgrade your suspensioni.

When I fit my Clifford Matrix Responder alarm soon, I will mod my headlights and and do a step by step on the headlight modification for everyone. I think it will be easy, but we will see!

Your siren should be quiet on chirp and warn away but loud when in full song, if you want louder chirps just cut one or the thin black wires on the siren. not the one that runs your bonnet pin switch though!! ;)

I'm with JimX,,,,no lubing is required. There's no real way of doing it anyway. Your not going to remove factory bushes,,,lube them and then re-install them. Whiteline recommend you use there lube when installing there sway bar bushes,,,but thats only because they move just a tad every now and then. All other bushes don't move as the bolts are up against the steel bushes.

      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.
