Those crazy japs and their drifting in others machines!!

Excellent day to be out.  The privateers generally sucked except for a few like the shoddy looking 180, Catherine's VK (you try drifing a boat), the Porker, and a couple other Silvias.

The Aussie entries weren't too bad.  

The D1 drivers.....Well, their in a class of their own, NUTZ!!!!  I don't understand why you would want to drift a corner at 100km/h+ while waving the car door open...  MAAAAAD!!!

Too bad about the kiss b/w the Benny's BMT180 and the HPI CA18 but as long as Fulllock keep their word, the fixing will be free.  Dunno bout 140 degree water temps though...Maybe someone should have told the D1 gut to turn the A/C off :D

I've captured all my footage and it's a 4.6gig avi file so I'm gonna put it all on a DVD for myself.  The D1 dancer was pretty cool too!!  I got him strutting his stuff and stlyin to Ms Christina!!

I hope u burn me a copy to man.

ive got the perfect view of that as i was filming right down the front on the right in front of that corner.... if i was on broadband i would post it up.

i reckon those guys in the truenos were pretty good... minus one of them.

i got a pic of me and horus with i think his name is Kenji? or something... the crazy one with no front teeth dancing with the girls at the end :D i also got them all to sign my HPI mag

thats one cool thing about them they were pretty easy going... the dancing one gave me, my cousin and horus one of his japanese cigarettes :)

Wish I could have been there:(

The s14 with s15 front (if it was red with black roof) was James Vahoumis' car from D1 Garage in SA. He also brought Bai (Signal's D1 driver) over for the event - they did a photo shoot over here for speed, and I got thrown around in the passenger seat of the 180 (same colours as the S14) by him (bai) was about the most fun you can have with your clothes on - its bizaare, he was so bloody relaxed and casual when driving.

Hopefully I will be able to make the next one - big ups for all that organised it all.

    • 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.
