Excuse the French, but holy shit one of the best f**king days of my life, first couple of laps were a bit terrible, then tried to go faster and braked too late for a couple of laps, then felt like it smoothed out toward the end :)

Perfect day for it, and a really good turnout. Definitely should do it again :)

f**king EPIC!!!11!!

I'm hell up for a working bee BBQ on anyones car. I need to learn a heap more about this. But as Jack said earlier on monthly is probably a bit too much for my budget, keen to go along to watch if others are going though.

Pity you couldn't make it mate, really good day :)

Yeah what an epic day! I had heaps of fun just hanging out, got a ride in a couple of cars too which was awesome.

Here are some Pics.

Missed a good track day Toff.... sun was out, air temps were down and there was only half a dozen cars running so everyone had heaps of time on the track.

Good day and it was good to put names to 'screen names'

yeah i'm spewin , teach me for leaving things till the last minute :( , wasn't game on tracking it with a loose ball joint , i ended up getting a mate to drop me one down but figured it was too late by 2pm to come out . you busy tomorrow mate , i'll call you re parts around 12-ish

annoyed i couldn't get out there can't work out whats going on with my brakes rant.gif

looks like it was a good day, hopefully ill be there for the next one

i got a hoist if you need it in the air one weekend? , what are your brakes doing??

who crashed their car btw! hope the damage isn't too bad

Edited by toffy

i have a super soft pedal almost to the floor soft & no rear brakes bled them numerous times but still nothing theres no pressure getting to them.

master cylinder fail?

all in all, i had an awesome day! 1st laps out was shit due to mass missfire in high rpm range.. lucky had some new plugs thanks to the awesome jamie , swapped them over.. and it appears he took a photo lol.. turns out 5 plugs were .7 gap.. 1 was 1.1..... lol... car ran beautifully next few runs until i took brodie out, several laps, new pb.. car decided it needed to get super hot (115) and steam itself up in the pits lol.. all in all ive decided.. i need a new diff.. gearbox.. and a bunch of niggly issues fixed before next outing. good to meet people again!

also... jacks car... an animal... i swear he was trying to show off since i was in the car.. with all those spins :-P

not noticable in daily driving mate, if it's soft all the way to the floor nearly , i'd be checking all of your brake lines/calipers for leaks or signs of tampering :) , does it loose fluid at all?

the booster is working fine? you probably can't tell but if that's worn/damaged it can cause similar issues

It was Tim who had a bit of a spin a little in front of me on the hill, brakes locked up and did a little spin :) basically completely pulled up before the tyre wall though, damage was a slightly bent exhaust and a few scratches on the rear left panel :)

My entire family turned up to show support at the exact point this photo was taken and thought I had trashed my car :P

also... jacks car... an animal... i swear he was trying to show off since i was in the car.. with all those spins :-P

hahah, oh its not very friendly is it! same boat as you mate, got some things that MUST be done before i hit the track again, the beast must be tamed =)

    • 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.
