would include chrome.. chrome and well some chrome.. did i mention some chrome?

generally ricer bays are regarded as the ones with the painted engine. chrome everything.. wires all hidden.. everythings done for show

Since when is having a nicely detailed engine bay a bad thing?

Fair enough you can go a bit overboard with chrome, but even then it can still look very nice. Dahtone's engine bay comes to mind in looking incredible with a lot of polished parts.

Lol about a TV screen though.

Don't think it's a bad thing.. I think there are the 'sleeper' guys who go for the "what mods does it have officer.. it's just stock" look.. Dahtone was gonna be my example.. Looks great..

althought i've been pulled over once 'randomly'.. its a wagon FFS

Ricer, by definition of the typical owner, requires the vehicle be fitted with:

-Pod filter, not mounted or enclosed

-Fluro green ICE 16mm ignition leads, stock coil lead

-Anodised oil filler cap

-At least 2 cable ties without the ends cut-off

-At least 1 engine component that has been sprayed with trevs "metallic" paint without cleaning or removing said component from the engine bay

-Stickers on the radiator support to advertise said Anodised filler cap

Optional accessories:

-A bottle of "NOS" fuel additive kept in the engine bay for your next top-up

-Un-fused see-through-red 4ga wire running from the battery through a hole cut in the firewall with a butter-knife

LOL, but even N/A's need their vacuum pressure monitoring right?

BTW I think you're lying and have never seen that. ;)

Pics or not true.

not a ricer, but thats the only type of engine bay i can think of that looks daaamn clean

Not a big fan of 'dubber' engine bays. I mean they look good but it's all smoke and mirrors with the wires and everything tucked out of view. Actually working on the car and troubleshooting would be a bitch and so for me it's the ultimate 'show' look. Real cars otoh are made to be USED.

Clean and tidy engine bays isn't RICE.

To me, R.I.C.E. stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements..

So things like, pod filters, big gay atmo bov's, coil covers with stupid logos/designs, painting everything up when it's all stock componentry etc.

I think R.I.C.E. is more generally found on the outside of a vehicle.. bigass wings, shopping lists, 6" cannons on 2" pipes, neons, graphics etc.

rice engine bay = you pop the bonnet and every single thing screams "look at me!!!" whether it is a performance mod or something normal made to look like it is a performance mod, such as an anodised oil filler cap. basically when standard items have been replaced with something brightly coloured for no apparent reason

    • 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.
