No new changes to the car, it's just going back onto straight 98 octane. Yeah, Ben tuned it last.

I would like to get a video of it on the Dyno but not sure if I'll be allowed.

Nah it's on octane booster atm. Isn't yours running the dual E85/98?

mines anything between 98 and E85, fuel map/timing changes real time depending on the ethanol %

what are you running octane booster for? i thought all that stuff was pretty cruddy for the engine, unless you have to for a little extra protection at a track day or something...

There is a group of us from GT Car Club attending on the 18th March too.

1) Brandon Chan (R33 GTR)

2) Jose Valles (Porsche 911)

3) Sisco Valles (Porsche 911)

10) Tommy Thai (R33 GTST) (Deposit Paid)

11) Henry Lim (STI) (Paid)

More GTRs the better :)

i think i'm going to skip it for the WRX Calder round - one of the things i wanted to do this year was try some diff tracks, and i haven't even been to Calder before, let alone raced.

ooohh... first outing for the new R Brandon? if so, you're going to have a ball....

yeah skid pan was going to be step 2?

curious can 2 people share one car for them? they look fun and wouldn't mind giving it a try myself.

I did the Summer DD defensive driving course when it came to Shepparton. Can not rave enough about it. Katie will LOVE it.

As for 2 in one car - there were a couple of L-platers at the shepp one, and one of them was sharing the car with his mum who also did the course, so I dont see why not, but best to ask Bec.

I left the course wanting to do the skid pan day in Luke's skyline, but have since changed my mind - that thing scares the crap out of me! :blush: (and I think would be grounds for divorce if I broke it!)

    • 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 ? 馃
    • 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.
