Ok...

what a little read i just had first thing nice bathroom.. no1 tiling the walls is pretty easy for anyone thinking about tiling and putting in a toilet is super easy just use fuller s40 silicon and wa lah!, paysomeone to do the floor tiles and stuff and do the walls yourself fit a toilet is like two bolts a tape measure and some silicon, then get a professional install of the shower screens 500-1000 or so its really not that bad guys give it a go.(reading up and asking some pro's some questions helps remember if you pay someone for floors you can pick their brains, offer them a beer it helps)

second. that wood grain is the weirdest thing ive seen, someone should convert that bad boy into a funeral car for dead jap car enthusiasts now thats a better idea then importing it in the first place.

third thing is im guna upgrade the deck and ill let everyone know what it sounds like, just waiting on brad to win the lotto and offer a free english conversion and im set :):worship: chuckles. Im not really sure about wheather i beleive that the amp in the deck of a standard car is better then what is in a bought item, i feel as a music enthusiast with a 10k home stereo its more that 10k can sound great or average it depends on what knowledge/time is spent on tuning it (in laymans terms) and unless you get an ultra high end deck the settings you can play around with are usually very basic, but i will see how i go with a under 700 $ stereo off ebay, i only have limited knowledge but very experienced ears. i know what i want to hear, achieving it is another story.. wish me luck..

Oh and brad luck.. cmon no 7!

If you're that into your audio, you should know that no built in amp is ever going to be as good as a good standalone/specialised amp. So do it! You won't regret it.

As for the deck, if you've got the screen and want that to hook up with DVD, TV etc like mine, there are a few options. My Clarion is great, and it has a 7" pop up screen to boot. I went that way because I wanted absolutely everything in the deck, and I got it: DVD, AV IN, iPod, Bluetooth, and even an extra front AV IN. If you're willing to go without bluetooth, there are a heap more options. Iain also has a Clarion which doesn't have DVD, runs entirely off digital media.

nice!

ill be doing mine soon, but theres a few things i need to tackle first.

i reckon ill pour most of my life savings into the audio system. lol

what head unit is it??

Wonder if I should spam this thread till we get to a new page, to avoid the fact that Ryan killed it with a weird youtube redirect :nyaanyaa:

Is that what caused it? Yeah, let's just fill this one up. It's almost impossible to do anything here.

I'll add some white space - that might help.

:spam:

Thanks Ryan :spank:

:rolleyes:

Yep, its somethign to do with the youtube plugin for PHPBB.. it didnt embed the link he posted properly, instead it mashed up an iframe that causes a full redirect :rolleyes:

White space is awesome, but wont help the new page come any sooner

:blush:

I pasted a bloody link, and the whole thing gets broken! How the hell are we supposed to talk crap all day at work with the recipe chat thread broken!

Cheers Nick for fixing it. And thanks Dunc for making sure I got the blame... bastard...

:cheers:

i hit escape just before the page loaded, didnt get the redirect. took me about 5 goes at it tho haha

I just timed hitting the stop button real carefully, 70% of the time it worked every time

same thing. its easier to find the escape key than stop. dpending on the browser i guess............

on a side note, has anyone who has a telstra t-hub managed to get a generic 'orange tabbee' firmware onto it? after mine upgraded it cant SSH into it :(

might have to do some tricky DNS redirects and force the firmware upgrade to come from my own machine

    • 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
    • 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.
