Question time for everyone

Is it possible to open the bonnet on the 34 by reaching up under the front bar?

Reason I ask is I had car locked in the driveway and not long got inside when the alarm goes off

Race out side and have a look around and didn't see anyone at first but stepson says he spotted a couple of kids jumping the fence two houses behind us

Get back and check the car and the bonnet is up but not open and the car was locked

Not happy at all, some f**kers tried to steal the car I reckon

Now I'm paranoid I'm going out the front for a smoke

wtf???? do you have the oil pan on it??

thatd be way to hard!!

why would kids try to steal your car?? thats weird as. could of jimmied it open?

Nah not jimmied

Reach through opening in front bar and find bonnet cable, pull on cable bonnet opens

Will make up some sort of cover to prevent this happening again

No idea why kids would try but will flog anyone if they try again and I catch them

MJH

At least you now know your alarm is a good theft deterrent...

And yes, your vehicle is very nice so wouldn't doubt they tried to knock it off. Definately make something up to stop them from getting the bonnet up.

R32 GTR UPDATE

The guy my cousin sold the 32 GTR to is thinking of selling it soon (he's only put 2000kms on it in the past 3 years he's owned it). My cousin is giving him a ring tomorrow to get a ballpark figure of how much $$ he's looking to get for it....then if its low enough might go for a look :). Has a forged engine and upgraded turbos etc...

I said to Dad if the chassis is 100% straight and original then its worth buying, so Dad said he'd be happy to buy it if so and that he'd sell it to me once I get a full time job .... =D

Just checked an yes you can open the bonnet by reaching up under the front bar

Have to do something about that

Yeah if they can get the cable they can pop it up! Hook it directly to your battery :P Or put razor blades around it!

If you think of a plan let us all know ;)

i know of at least 2 r34 gtr's that went missing via this method in the last 12 months.

We will need to start parking in secure places only, its shit!

At least at my place they have little chance of getting my car out without someone noticing, but people are pretty ballsy i guess!

haha yeah that's some balls!! I need to build this garage...

10 hours OT today for the fund

Good work man! Sounds like you are killing it!

Are you doing a colourbond shed in place of the existing etc?

yeah tearing mine down (when I got money) then gunna squeeze in a pitiful 6x6 in the yard. which will leave heaps of room round the left side of it. might put a garden shed there or a spa area way down the track? then the other side pimp out with plants and do a whole new fence and back yard will be done.

so much OT... hahaha.

got about 3k saved lolololol.

yeah I got a quote for like 3k for the shed and 4k for it installed! so add 3k for a driveway and council fees and should be laughing.

Still way cheaper than car lol

    • 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.
    • 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.
