Hi all,

As I've stated in topic title Im a late starter in the skyline class.

I brought a r34gtt 1999 model from a young family friend,love the car.

Many many years ago I had xui's L34's,then went to alfa's.I have 2 gtv's

mid 80 models v6 and 2,lt.I must say the gtt is an absolute beauty of a car.

I want to tidy up a few things on the car.audio,suspension etc,thought I would join up and make some new like minded freinds.

All your knowledge of these wonderful cars astounds me.

I look forward to chatting with you in the future.

Kindest regards to all.Butch(Glenn)

Hi all,I hope im responding correctly here either as a group,or am I supposed to respond individualy,please let me know.

As for the fiery demise of butch54 in a smoke laden alfa,na did'nt happen.(not yet anyway)but i am hearing you.

As for photos,I'll do my best in the near future to post some.As i've stated prior I'm new to this type of thing and I'm not sure how its done.

(posting photos I mean)I'm not that bloody old.

While I've got you here, can somebody tell me where I can get some rear inner guard plastics with screws and fixings etc.

Good second hand with no splits would be great.Take care all .Kindest regards butch54(Glenn)

Hi there BoyWhoCriedWolf,its amazing what one can do with a thousand liters of fire retardent foam in a car.

The wiley part is wearing goggles and a snorkle and still driving somewhat safely.

Take care friend,regards Glenn (butch54)

    • 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.
