No horsepowers intended.

i was going to get a full set of Superpro suspension and cradle bushes. But I just got back from Fulcrum (because I missed the tech night there) and other than a loose top bolt on the drivers side rear strut top, all my bushes are good.....they were quite surprised, and I can spend $580 elsewhere :)

So now that my plan has changed. I'm not sure what exactly to get, but this is my list so far.

Hicas locking bar

Center caps for wheels

Wrap or plastidip center console inside.

New video card and mousepad (already paid for and installed)

new front rotors and pads...finally get rid of that annoying and increasingly ear piercing squeak.

New front speakers.

Brake fluids replaced and new ABS module (if I can find one for a reasonable price)

Booze for origin tonight
Jim Richards dinner tomorrow night.

Get my exhaust lifted up higher under the car.

and If cash permits Either build a new computer (only need CPU, MoBo, RAM, and cooler) or swaybars.

None of this involves an ECU and tune...I think you have missed something.

Hicas locking bar

Bodo, if your considering a hicas lock bar. This might be worth a look... A full eliminator kit, i got this on my car and find is absolutely awesome. Car feels s much more connected to the road etc. But i have not driven a car with Lock Bar only so not sure of comparison. I was pushed towards this kit instead of the bar only

Sweet! bright orange, can you see it under the car at all?

this is the one I was going to get. As it saved having to replace the hicas tierod ends.

But seeing as everything is fine under there, I'm just gonna stick with getting the regular old locking bar. as there is a big price difference.

Yes, orange is very visible under the car

:/ I'd avoid then unless cop attention is what one is chasing. Apparently new laws coming out and they might be trying to get us for lots more srupid little things.

    • 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.
