I can help with your addiction... :)

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet? :P

Another month and and half...almost...there...LOL

Even if I was pushing 350awkw I'm sure it won't have the same "feel" as a 350awkw GTR/Evo/WRX/etc etc...heck I've been in an Audi R8 (300kw?) and I'm sure that thing would rape a 400kw Nm35.

The 2 tonne weight and the gimped throttle (even if wire cut) is teh ghey.

Ah well can't have it all. Unless I start saving for a weekend car :P

The response is the killer with these, I drove an Evo 8 yesterday; I'd kill to have that kind of throttle response. Not so sure about the Police attention (or the woeful wing) though; I like my "invisible" wagon.

2tonnes? I weighbridged mine at 1680kg.

Just realised why I do everything myself on my car - fing auto shops are as helpful as a kick up the balls.

went to a jax shop to enquire about some centre caps - had the measurement and everything. All he could say was you should try the wheel company email them or whatever. Didn't want to help at all. To busy selling shit wheels to commodore owners I guess.

Anyone know anywhere I can find some plain jane centre caps with a 79.5mm centrebore, with a decent (over 15mm) clearance over the bolt?

SSR US want $40 each for SSR ones :(

Nope, just have a centre bore of 79.5 mm, fit obviously, have a decent depth to fit over the hub bolt, and not look ghey- nice and plain so I can spray black and shove them on

The SSR ones look a work of art - turned aluminium or something I think, but are also shiny, and I don't really want shiny, and I don't really want to pay $40us each + postage to spray em black!

Dunno if Iain can still grab one to try, but maybe you could see if the centre caps of the Nismo LMX5 rim would fit?

They looked nice but pushed in to the rim so may not fit other rims. I don't know how yours are attached.

Nah, I'd say the LMX5 centre bore is way too small. EVERYTHING I have tried has been too small, Craigs, varrstoens, stocks etc.

Just need to suck it up and buy some 2 mins noodles to live off for the next fortnight :P

Holy crap! I stripped everything loose out of mine (sub, spare wheel, tool kit, rear ashtray) to get to 'drag weight' & weighbridge came in at 1800kg. Curse you luxury (shakes fist in air for effect).

Having another look at theirs I can see, looks like it'd be hard to replicate the ssr. There is a rubber o ring and everything in the base of them. I can't quite tell how they seat, but the wheels so have a little lip in them. It's a mystery.

    • 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.
