Just (very briefly) drove mine with the revalved Bilsteins in the front: 1000000% improvement, but still a little work to do: bump stops still need to be replaced with slimmer items: the old ones were all but destroyed when the shock failed :)

Pretty impressed so far: hoping to have the car back mid next week, handling like it should (and used to)...

What are the offsets PetroDola?

Are they rolling or flaring the guards? The fronts are already "rolled" from the factory, the rears can be rolled.

Is yours a RS? let me know the offset and I can work out exactly how far out from the factory guards they will sit, or if they will foul the front control arm.

mines actually an RX the one below in my pic is the car in question.

I believe theyll be rolling the gaurds i know the fronts are quite rolled already but the rears will need doing. is the offset is 9.5?

thats the width. It should be stamped somewhere on the back of the wheels hub or spokes. You may also have a sticker on the inside of the rim.

Should look something like 19 x 9.5J +35 etc. 19 being the rim diameter, 9.5J being the width and a + or - number being the offset. Looking at the pics of your rims you would have a positive offset on those, probably around +30 or more. If its higher than +35 you will need to run spacers on the front to clear the front control arm, if its lower than +30 you will need to roll your guards.

So basically it will be perfect at 9.5J + 35 to +30 and you wont have to do anything other than fit tyres!

Thats awesome!

You shouldnt have to roll anything, Just be careful on tyre size, a 245 or 255? should be sweet. If you go something too wide then they will scrub the guards.

but +30 will look sweet! cant wait to see pics when they are on.

Made an executive decision to trade in the Alpine pre-boxed R-type subs I installed late last year, and permanently mould in the Alpine S-types I have sitting here into a sealed enclosure. I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought the R-types: ported subs are not my thing, but the ability to remove them for track-day antics was appealing.

Since I broke my back, track days are now off the table, so I may as well go with a SQ setup, which is what the rest of the audio system is geared towards... I figure using the subs I already have sitting here will save me a heap of money over the "buy a pair of X-type 12"s" option...

Very much hanging out to get the old girl back witht the front suspension sorted: a drive in a mate's '05 STi reminded me of how the barge should feel on the road, and I believe there is still a way to go...

achieved a bit for the weekend:

- fitted PIVOT speed meter and PIVOT shift lamp

- fitted red LEDs to the dash - now all interior lights are red

- sprayed rain gaurds gloss black and fitted up

- took back surface rust on rotors and sprayed them black with VHT caliper paint

- put on some hubcentric rings, has got rid of vibration at 100km/h

- used glassylite on the UV affected headlights (these things were shot, so yellow that i was trying to source replacements but this glassylite stuff has took them back to brand new - best 40 bucks i've spent on the car)

i have a list of 'to do' stuff, so it's getting shorter each weekend - but the more time i spend in and around the car, the more i find! its tough being OCD!!!

link to glassylite please

im getting sick of polishing them

fitted my sub on the weekend, good to have a ballenced stereo once again, just need to fiddle with the settings some more

edit, also painted the rear brakes in 3m blue caliper paint (same as the fronts) and fitted them

should have my speed bleeders soon and hopefully a firm pedal all the time soon after that :(

Picked mine up again prematurely (so it's still got a bit of suspension work to do), because I managed to trash the front bar on the beemer yesterday: I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put boulders on each side of their driveway, right at the gutter end, where they're impossible to see?!

the trick is the 'nano sealant' - but just be careful with your quanitities, they give you SFA in the kit, so you need to make it all last.

      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

      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.
