oh ok when i say chopped its usually a run from zip to 80 and I was about drivers side door level when i backed off. this was against a bf ute with a system under it. I've never had any trouble with later model commodores and falcons (in p plate trim of course) generally walk away from them when i hit second lol :).

(word of warning el & ef xr6s can sometimes be very suprising :P)

i'm assuming that most of the aussie 6's you are racing are autos? is your car a manual by any chance? if so, then that is a somewhat unfair comparison. go up against a manual falcon/commodore and you will get chopped. just like auto skylines, auto commodores/falcons are noticably slower than the manual versions. although if you go up against an auto with a shorter diff ratio in it (since they are stupidly tall in standard form) and it too will beat you.

Mate has a 15.3 sec VR commodore, it has a 3.89 diff ratio in it and beats my car to 100kph easy, after that though its like he's standing still :P

IMO Hondas and their little vtec engines are far less than impressive... Vtec really isnt that great... When it kicks in all that i feel is a slight change in the exhaust note and an urgency in the tacho, as far as the actual car, it still feels slow - acceleration is still slow and the lack of torque makes the whole car feel gutless.

I used to be a "Honda Boy", but after having owned two vtec civics in the past (eg and ek) and having driven all the Honda "sport" car models (except nsx) I grew a disliking towards them. d16, b16, b18, k20 and h22, had my experiences with them all and they all suck...

Although i have driven an S2k and those are nice, my only gripe about the car is that it is overpriced. Apart from that, the car is nice. I'm also pretty certain an nsx will be a nice car as well - just need to get my ass in one

My bf's supra does laps aroun my 34 (both na)

Just like my car would run laps around his supra :P

that civic must have a bit of work done to it (or possibly an engine conversion from something like an integra or prelude), as well as some sticky tyres

don't suppose you've taken any notice of the trap speeds of it?

The civic i mentioned in my first post had pulled 3 car lengths on my NA Z, and i trap 97MPH so i bet it would have done 100+mph trap, they are fairly quick when done up properly.

    • 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.
