Exhaust sounds great, nice rumble on idle and not too loud up top. Will see what it sounds like when front and dumps are swapped out. Uploaded a video clip of exhaust sound on YouTube

Can't seem to attach it here.

That does sound great mate.

After 3 years I finally re-installed the tailgate linings on the 25g and the RS4. I had tried to fit an electric tailgate closer to the 25G but could not get it to work.

Tomoz I start on the electrics or the RS4. Air con condensor fan needs rewiring, dash panel to be replaced and A/M gauge cluster lights need fixing.

They say a dying candle burns brightestLOL

found the issue to all my problems yesterday

water damage in the oem to f-con harness.

spent a solid few hours giving it a clean with contact cleaner and earbuds.

Gave the ecu a reset and in for the first time in months i have clear dash with no engine light :yes:

And also scored a HKS F-con Navigator pro , which i installed at the same time

What does it do? Give you info or can you make changes to your tune?

25g? Damn I've always wanted the auto tailgate.

Did the timing belt (turns out it is from a Volkswagon Passat), water pump, cam and oil pump seals, idler and tensioner bearings for the second time (the engine has about 180,000klm on it now). It does use a bit of oil by now, the head in particular was not reco-ed when the rb30 was built so it has 300,000klm+ on it.

Then loaded the kids into the back took it for a leisurely drive up to queensland for a week away. It's thirsty and noisey with that exhaust, but it didn't miss a beat all trip

Did you get to Mt Tamborine??

Where the harness comes into the tailgate on the RHS there is a feed wire missing going into the loom. I dont know where this feed wire comes from.

Would love to get a wiring diagram.

I've been trying to find it again... I found a workshop manual on yahooauctions. I think there is one in someone's Dropbox?

Shouldn't be too hard to decode if you start with the headings and work your way down.

actually I took poetic license because I only made it to murwullimbah/tweed heads (figured that was close enough :P)

but i'll call you for a beer next time I'm in town :)

I think it has the ability to select sub maps, which is relative to the main maps.

​it displays a lot of outputs which are correct as its straight from the f-con and the screen can have a choice of showing 2-5-7-10 parameters on the screen

Took the dash instrument cluster out of the Dayz and fitted it to the RS4. Seems to have fixed the problem. Time will tell.

Next prob is getting the aux gauge lights working. I am no auto sparkie and I think I toasted a fuse somewhere.

Just getting back to the instrument cluster, it was quite easy to remove and replace. Used a large mirror to see where all the screws were.

Was glad of the DIY's today. Could not remember how to get to the back of the radio. What a mess I put in there 5 or 6 years ago. Anyway all looks good now. All gauge lights will be working tomorrow. Then on to the aircon condenser fan.

Put on some clear side indicators. They were to suit a pathfinder. Not quite as low profile as the originals bit still look way better than faded orange.. painted the rear impuls black last week then the mrs wanted to go for a drive to kuitpo now its way too cold to paint the front two and she was the one who gouged them up to make me want to paint them :s Also put in some new rear speakers today as the old ones had passed on. 6.5" fit nicely with a small bit of trimming to the plastic bit around the magnet. Just need a radio with frequencies that stops preaching the son of rajab to me haha

Also gave the headlights a good clean & seal with some Juice sealer. Wish I could still get this stuff.

    • 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.
