I think the reference was to some probs you had that could be attributed to less than ideal maintenance before you owned it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but things like banjo bolt blocked (first turbo failure?) and the sludge you found when you pulled your oil filter/associated mounting hardware off. Chances are a few oil changes might have been missed pinch.gif .

it was probably me more than anything. when i bought it i never serviced it properly. used el cheapo oils and stuff.. when I came on here I started looking after it..

What about your tranny? Or was that your own doing? RVO said it was pretty trashed...LOL :whistling:

nope? he said that for the amount of K's that the car had done it seem like it was pretty spot on.. he said your pan must have been dropped and changed..and thats why it looked like it was in good nick.. with the previous owner your car had, i wouldnt talk buddy :ph34r: i know a lot more about your car than you think..

just sayin lol

bahhhhaaahhhaaa!!

Jaffa sledge time!!!

lol craig arent Jaffas red? should start calling you a mars bar..

What the hell is he doing trashing his tranny? Is that what the young kids are calling it now?whistling.gif

got scott to weld me up a suction pipe for the stock s15 airbox and z32 AFM. perfect

put a new front mount return flow cooler in, which is proving to be better than the massive Greddy one.

standard s15 BOV with grub screw so no more fully sick dosing..thank f**k.

all I wanna get now is a new fuel reg, as the one i have now is malpassi rising rate(a piece of shit)

then i'll head up to cihan for a tune..if i hit over 200kw ill be happy. this has tooooo much response as it is.. ass goes out 2nd and 3rd in the dry.. quite fun.

Good stuff.thumbsup.gif

Back on topic, I cut the centre bar out of the opening of my Aero front bar; I think it looks better (too late anyway) but it was a breeze with my new cheapy Ozito multi-function tool.

The ones that have an oscillating (as opposed to rotating) blade; put the blade against your hand; big vibes, no cut. On a plastic bumper, it just pushes through literally like a hot knife through butter. Very neat, no burning or melting of the plastic, but no monster furry edges like a hacksaw or jigsaw cut.

Still dragging my feet about the mesh; everyone else seems to like it but me!whistling.gif

Got new tires and drove it to 200,000kms, like a boss.

Sorry for the off topic but? 576.6km and still 1/4 tank of fuel :O. Is the m35 really that much better on fuel?

Good stuff.thumbsup.gif

from memory I think his car is a VQ25DD.....regardless on the Fwy I get in between 650km and 700km to a tank providing I don't hit it.....with the VQ25DET......around town they tend to be a little shit before getting a tune!

Yep, I think the hexagonal mesh I've got will be better with a big cooler behind it; but for the next few weeks, I'll be sticking with the Uleh bro.whistling.gif

At least it isn't blue...pinch.gif

Aero looks good black and without the foggies IMO! Not much of a fan of it normally.

Mesh needs more black I reckon.

A close up of how the stuff I got from Autobarn (I think it's Monza??) looks behind my front bar.

mesh does look good......pity about the gay pascal metallic blue colour around it!

Yes, I think the OEM is diamond mesh though. Mine didn't come with it, and given the pissing about I had to go through just to get the blanking plates; didn't even bother.down.gif

Cam, lol, it is black, just the way the light is hitting it. whistling.gif I'm actually quite happy with the look of the Blanking Plates versus the Spotties myself.thumbsup.gif

Looks to be exactly the same thing; mine was SAAS, but same difference. The stuff I have to replace it is slightly smaller openings than the OEM and hexagonal in form.

And I'll have enough left over for another car. I'm also convinced the Aero cools better than the smiley face front; Win!

Fair enough. The way that light is hitting it, the mesh almost looks like the silver version.

Aero definitely lets more air through than the standard RS bumper, no doubt about it.

Interested to see your replacement mesh :)

    • 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.
