The "EDGE" R33 Skyline GTS25t has been out since 1999 at least, made by ****PIT TATEBAYASHI (GODDAM IT! I've been vBulletined!!)... it's still doing the rounds at the car shows, me and the SAU boys from Sydney saw this one at this years Tokyo Auto Salon. AFAIK, the kit has been copied and is sold in Australia already? Can someone clarify this?

Yeah Rezz, the first time i saw the car in one of the pics you took in your photo thread :rofl: Can you tell me a little bit about C0ckpit Tatebayashi as i can't read japanese on their webpage? I can barely find any info on the car or kit on the web, only on the Official C0ckpit website. Are they popular in Japan? Do they manufacter parts or do they just sell and tune stuff? In the Gts special issue of HPI there is a ecr33 with the kit that was imported.

About C0ckpit Tatebayashi: C0ckpit stores are just your regular "Bob Jane T-Mart" type wheel, tire and tune up place, but Tatebayashi (and others) have complete "turbo tune-up menus", where you can drive your S14 in, and 2 days later, have a 450hp monster on your hands, with a complete set of coil-overs and 18" wheels and tires too. So they do almost the same job as a regular Tuning workshop... I say almost, because the emphasis (and where they make most of their money) is in the wheel and tire business.

I'd go to C0ckpit if I didn't have any contacts with a regular tuning workshop (ie: C-West :rofl:) as they do the complete job in-house, and you can just choose a "tune-up package", you don't have to know what every part does.

About the "EDGE" bodykit: Sorry, my bad, I said before that C0ckpit Tatebayashi produced the "EDGE" bodykit... well they don't. The bodykit is produced by Emotion R, and is quite expensive compared to similar looking front bumpers by BoMex

Heres the EDGE front bumper for 79,000 yen (A$992):

...and the BoMex BM Type II front bumper for 30,500 yen (A$383):

I know which one I'd buy!

So C0ckpit Tatebayashi don't manufacture kits as such, but use other brands. I wouldn't say the EDGE kit is common (hence the price!) but they are made to the highest standards as is usual with the low volume Japanese brands. I guess try and go for a cheap EDGE knock-off, or the BoMex...

Thats pretty exy for just the front bumper! I have thought about going for the Bomex as it is similar, however I like the Edge much better. I dunno why but it appeals to me. There are also many more Bomex's around, which i guess is attributed to it's availability and price and good looks. I'm gonna have to do more searching to find a cheap knock off if one's available.

Thanks Rezz.

      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

      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.
