getting my car back soon with much more power and it'll also have lsd and a stall converter. never driven a powerful lsd car or tried to go sideways in one. just wondering what i should expect. Also the stall converter will be about 2500rpm how is this gonna feel to drive and how will that affect my day to day driving? The more feedback the better. cheers

Expect big smokey burnouts.

Srsly though, you need to get it out on a skidpan and learn your car before you kill yourself and/or someone else.

2500rpm stall isn't very big (the one in my wagon is 2350rpm and I think a 34GTT is 3000rpm), basically it will feel a bit like a clutch slipping until it gets to 2500rpm, then depending on engine/turbo setup, it sounds like it will most likely torch the tyres.

Haha. Yeah i'm going to try my best to behave.

I've been sideways plenty of times but thats always been in non lsd cars. And i've had many hours thrashing the ute around in the bush. If i get my car back soon enough i'll be taking it down to baskerville raceway for a day with a bunch of friends. The plan is only to give it a squirt in straight lines really, and i can't afford to go over the speed limit cause i got f**k all points. Haha.

Theres a thread in forced induction titled "sts turbo setup" that'll tell ya more about my car.

Well if you know what it's like being sideways with an open centre diff, you will be pleasantly surprised with the LSD. It will be much more predictable and controllable and won't try to kill you when you back off the gas or feather it (i.e. it won't drop to one wheel and try to throw you in to the kerb).

Thats sounds much more plesent then what i'm used to then. I generally don't do it much cause my tyres are still new so i only flick it out in the wet. And i don't do it when i can see other cars cause ya never know which ones are cops these days. I work nighshift so i'm often on the road when no one else is which is quite handy!

      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.
