anyone recommend a decent place to get a fiberglass front bar fitted and maybe painted ( if its not going to cost a arm and leg as its a non standard colour and thought just getting it made up in spray cans) locally.

Just curious whats an average price to get one fitted if you have done it also

Trust me don't go the cans route, There are some people on the forums that have done this and I have seen the end result of the work... Take it to a pro and get them to work the voodoo. Best bet would be to shop around what area are you in?

agreed^^^

So whos coming to happy laps? at QR this time for a sunday breakfast. so its gonna be an early morning drive.

oh and i bought this yesterday :)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261057060347?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 but wont be here and done before the weekend. so next week my fulli sic Zorst should be sorted from turbo back

I'm from morayfield, have any of you guys used a body shop around the area? Or anyone that wants a cashie to just fit the bar?

I didn't really want to go the pressure pack can route, but i needed a 30cm strip on my a pillar repainted completely and got quoted $1300 just for that a bit, and a touch up on the door handle from a place in caloundra, that's why i was thinking the can theory. I assume it was so expensive due to the work needed to blend it all to the same colour.

I will end up getting it sprayed professionally though.

sorry man, i got no suggestions :( always done all and any bodywork myself (has been a long time)

yeah colour matching can be a real pain...and your biggest issue.

so whos keen for a meet/drive tomorrow night??

i'll have to get back to everyone about tomorrow night, as my cousin has asked me out to a opening to some club in brisbane

sounds like something i may have been interested in 10 years ago :P

I'd be keen for a meet up.

good to hear. i think we go Carseldine way for some tasty Pizza, then off to see the westies if we dont get much love on the northside :)

I have a surprise on call stint, so no going out for me. maybe next week now....wait wait next week is batman so the week after maybe.

    • 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.
