So I received a preview of the coil valley cover badge....

The engraving will begin shortly to also include a custom badge for where it says "Twin Turbo" however... won't disclose what it says as it is a shit stir to previous work done on the car.

MNP 33GTR for the win!

Cheers bud,

I may be ordering my Custom Grind cams this week, receiving some parts for the VCT and a couple other bits.

Awesome, im very interested to hear how this vct goes

It's getting a tune without VCT first, in most likely in a couple months or after when I go to the U.S. I will do the VCT considering it would only take a couple days to do if that.

The main part would be in the tuning I assume.

I know the engine is in, box is in, just needs the radiator, valve springs(getting done when its in the car) and then once I have the car back and I am going to get a Catch can set up made.

Where did you go to get this made if you don't mind me asking? Mate wants a Nismo item but there doesn't seem to be any so this could be an idea.

I got it made by Aaron Dryden, You can also order design's through Dryden Motorsports.

Aaron does drafting for Dryden Motorsports now, he had to do mine because it was more involved design wise then they usually are.

Just good Dryden Motorsports and they'll come up.

On another note.

So, not much to do with the GTR has come about yet... I think they are doing run in now hahaha so on my weekend I have set a couple goals.

Number 1 goal was to repair the bike I crashed a couple months back(just need to connect lines now)

Number 2 goal was to clean my carport(In progress, I'm on break :P )

Number 3 goal was to get my 1972 Toyota Corona running and washed... Goal completed.

The main reason I wanted to get this car out and washed.

The car belonged to my Late Pop, He was given it by my Great Aunt when they had to go into a nursing home.

When I killed the ECU in the car my Pop told me I can have the car if I looked after it, about a week later he passed.

The car holds ALOT of sentimental value to me obviously.

I have also just bought his motorbike off my Grandmother, she was going to sell it after I repaired it however I decided I would like to own it so I bought it.

thats good, i like that!! things with sedimental value, are worth alot more than what money can buy....

Hey did you end up finding out what goodies the engine had? I remember you mentioning in your for sale thread (at the time) that you thought it had stage 2 cams.

Well it was a standard engine not the stroker as it was in the import papers.

It DOES have cams unlike what I was told by a "big" shop... unknown duration tho, It's certainly equal to poncam's tho.

The piston had "gas" porting tho so that was different.

i feel tease......ed. where's the sound clip !!!

It's only just had it's first start up today... however I bought a GoPro yesterday... by... "accident" and yes it will get a sound clip soon ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

    • 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.
