Ohh so it does require the stops to be grinded down. Can it be done while on the car or do you have to take the knuckle off.

Stops are on the LCA's. Can be done on the car.

There will be a DIY guide somewhere on how to do the job.

I put the spacers in but its not even hitting the stop on either side. It doesnt look to me like anything has changed. Abit puzzled at the moment cant work it out. here are some pics.

I did a test, I disconnected the tie rods from hubs and checked to see if the spacer is going all the way into the rack and its not . I dont understand what is stopping it, surely the rack cannot be at its limits am I missing something here?

Here is a pic of it at full lock with with tie rods free attached to nuthing.

how it looks with spacer

I also measured the diameter of the spacer to make sure it is fitting in and yes it is slightly smaller than the shaft so it will go in no problem. This is so frustrating whats so different about my situation that it doenst work.

Another update I took off the rods completey to physically measure how much room there is inside the rack at full lock and I found it to be between 2.5-3mm so thats why I have the problem but now I want to know why since everyone else is putting spacers and there rack is not restricted to 2.5-3mm is there something else that must be done in order to make the rack go further? Im really stumped now after putting together and taking it apart 50times this weekend.

    • 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.
