Well ..... mine was my mates WRX impressa evoII.... scared the shit outa me ....hehe after that all i caould vision was a turbo import .. so i got me a nice 97 180sx white with yellow interior .....but got hit up the ass at 100klm pu tme in hospital then after all that i bought another 180 wich i own still and love it ....!

first time tasting the sweet motion of boost was in my mates r33 gtr i was 15 at the time and he was a 40yr older.. I wonder who is to blame for my passion of the skyline. but the car was to expensive to buy, after some research in came some of the more budgetable skylines... :D gts25t and so on.. first time actually driving on boost.. VL turbo... nothing better then driving wit your heart pounding...

  • 3 weeks later...

My VERY first taste of boost was in my dads porsche... however i was WAY too young to remember it lol and because i came he had to sell it... typical.

The first time i had ever ridden in and driven a Turbo car was when i was 16yo and my dad had a Twin Turbo Mitsi GTO which was modified. OMG i instantly fell in love and became a bost junky.... until i realsed cars in australia to this caliber were still selling for 40k+ (born and raised in NZ, his car sold for 17k).

It was the car i learnt to drive in while in NZ on holiday and it had a porsche gearbox in it which was ultra smooth and short... awesome car.

I lost my virginity to a turbo silvia on 18psi grin ear to ear.

First drive was R33 GTS-T and since then have been re born that's why I'm clawing at the walls for the next 3 months till I can get mine. I'm having with drawl symptoms....... come on mate just give us another shoot of boost just a little for the road? :drooling: :nowigetit :nowigetit :boinkcar:

Mine was about 2 years ago when I was looking to import my first Skyline. My dad and I met up with the importer who was a friend of my dads. We met him at a servo on his way home and he threw us the keys to the R33 GTR V-Spec sumthing he was driving. He had just picked it up fromthe docks and it still had some type of semi slicks on it and from my memory (I knew jack all then) it had aftermarket turbs, pods, brakes etc etc. This thing was so fast is scared both me and my dad :D Never looked back since and still by far the quickest car I've driven.

had to be a skyline.... 1979 4 door something (not up with the model numbers from back then) has an L28-ET conversion, which is largely a custom build me thinks...runs ~ 22psi and OMG... zoom zoom bloody zoom zoom... scary stuff - specially with 17yr old driver - carazy man !! :headspin:

Currently ANY 32 turbo is in my sights... NA skylines nice, but turbo = even better !!

    • 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.
