While I'm waiting for my R34 brakes to arrive for the Stagea, I decided to remove the passenger mirror and hunt for any rust coming thru. Found some just starting and decided to rub it all back and treat it so it won't spread.

Two more weeks until Time Attack ... so in two weeks I'll need to fit the R34 brakes, braided lines, bleed the brake system thru with fresh DOT4 fluid, oil change, filter change, O2 sensor change, and a dyno tune.

:banana:

took me about 3 or 4 hours to slowly cruise through my r34 brake swap

pull the restrictor out of the 34 brakes and use your existing banjo bolt with both original copper washers without modification

the 3-4 hours also included going to get more brake fluid and bleeding everything twice and taking the master cyl out cos i got air in it

the thread on the stock rotors (to pop them off the hubs) is metric fine pitch, cant remember what size tho

Jason it`s a simple thing to do ok not hard mate at all ,front Rotor`s slotted may be RDA954S,& EBC DP1671 & there Black stuff ,you can look at yellow stuff your call,

Now all this about then not fitting ???? ,LAST TIME I WILL SAY THIS OK

I FITTED THEN NO MOD`S OK,

Searched and searched for rotor and pad replacement for S2 stagea!!!! Read through all 19 pages of stagea brakes! Waiting for response on hpx pads. Just been on Bendix site again.

they are also a site sponsor here, dont get the ar1m or you wil chew through rotors if your not getting them hot enough

ask them about the hpx's

and if you get them through sau they are cheaper

Fitted a boost controller today, Blitz SBC R. I don't believe the difference it made to the low end response, it seems to be on boost all the time now. :)

I checked the wideband higher up in the revs and it is running very lean, with a lot more punch. I had to drop the boost back down to a reasonable level until I can get to the tuner.

Wideband reset, torque converter lockup and petrol primer for starting on ethanol. There's still heaps of room for the ejector button though. :)

Stainless buttons are from Jaycar, they come in momentary or latching and are led backlit. (blue green and red.)

:D

You got that in in a hurry!

(all those wires along that side made it too difficult to mount the buttons?)

"it seems to be on boost all the time now." - Statement to make Jetwreck more envious by any chance?

very pretty Scotty....red is gay though!!!!!!could have at least put some pretty screws there.....should have done the carbon fibre look ;)

only kidding bud....looks gay but good :P.....not that gay is a bad thing :)

Cam, might be envious of instant boost but at least I have some real boost all the time :P.......that's the only comeback I have! :D

Turned up last night, had to get it in... :D

How did we go with the exhaust leak mate?

Exhaust manifold. Have yet to rip the heat shields off to have a look, certainly hope I have not sheared a bolt/stud... although that would be an easier fix than if the manifold is cracked.

"Real boost" all the time? Oh yeah?... well... erm... (stupid f*ck'n exhaust leak) ;)

EDIT: Suppose I should actually contribute here.

Okay, well a couple of weeks ago I installed my lovely Nismo exhaust in leu of the Fujitsubo Legalis. Same design, different muffler lol

On Monday night I decided to change the aerodynamic abilities of the rear end of my car by installing a stealth black trailer :banana:

    • 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.
    • 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.
