Was not a good sight to see your car modified by the armco rail but at least you and your brother are o.k.Thought you might have kept the car and transplanted the good bits into something else hope to see you at another SAU event in something else as long as its a nissan ...

Mick,

Thanks and thought about transfering bits from the GTR into 32 sedan I've got sitting outside but decided to sell it.

At the moment, looking to obtain 33 GTST for second time (had one before the GTR).

Cheers

Grant

Best of luck for a speedy recovery Grant; it's never a good thing to have a car accident but gladly it happened in a controlled environment with help at arm's reach.

Thanks Jim.

hey mate was gutted when i found out what happened :) hope u and ur bro are ok and have a speedy recovery.......

dont let it get u down it happens to the best of em....

Thanks mate.

Sorry to hear the news mate :)

Went through something similar myself at Phillip Island a couple of years back, and really good to hear that both of you got out of the car relatively unscathed. Sounds like everyone there did a stellar and professional job to look after yourself and your passenger.

im so sorry to hear this. but at least both of you are fine and thats the main thing. it seems you were not meant to own this gtr i had the same things with my old car and it ended with an accident too. :)

all the best mate and good luck looking for a new car (which i actually love doing lol)

At least you and your brother are ok Grant, thats the main thing.

Its always sad to see a GTR as nice as yours get banged up.

The good thing is is that theres always something bigger and better to look forward to in the future.

Hope to see you again at Decas with whatever it is that you decide to buy! Although I was thinking 26 into 4 door....would be fun!

Thanks, yes I'm gutted about the R considering I've wasted so much money and have some parts to go into it, will have to sell them...

Yes the organiser did a stellar job in looking after me and my brother.

Thanks, yep it does seem like I'm not aloud to own a GTR... I know what you're on about with looking for the replacment (love it too but lately, carsales haven't co-operated with me).

Shit so sorry to hear this... I remember just meeting you last deca and was admiring ur car... U even took my friend for a ride.... Well glad you and your brother are fine... Get Well Soon!! :D

Yes I remember you and your friend were admiring it and I took your friend for a ride last DECA.

Mat, thanks for the kind words, won't be doing 26 in 32 sedan cos I've already sold the wreck this morning and is trying to get a friend to buy the sedan.

And I'm kinda 'banned' from DECA by my parents... And is talking to them now.

Hamish, I'm unsure about these pics being posted on this thread but won't ask you to remove it.

Niroj, yes that's decent stack.

:)

Glad to hear your okay, and sorry to hear about the GTR. In the end though a car is replaceable, life and quality of life isn't; however I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better.

Hope things pick up soon.

Chantalle

Chantalle,

Thanks and I'm feeling lot better since I've sold the wreck and it's somewhere out of my sight. So I don't have to walk past it everyday.

And am sourcing a replacment but won't rush into it now, got other things to worry about.

Cheers

Grant

    • 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.
