yup, im pretty sure thats Andrew's stagea

well looked after but he bought a navara or something and no longer needs the stagea

are you in tas? even so its a good car and has a fair few bits and pieces on it for the money

i thought he got it tuned too but i could be thinking about another stagea

i had mine for sale for a bit but i've decided to keep it

one of the guys at autobarn has another white manual one

mine is manual

Ben who lives near the gorge has a white manual one

and so is Andrew's (the one for sale)

and there may be another getting about

I haven't seen the car in person since the last stagea meet which was a couple of years ago but i'm sure its still in top condition

well worth a look thats for sure

haha yeah well ive got a r32 gts4 heaps done i just hating having to drive it on the road every day when its track ready and its just burning a hole in my pocket and i would love a wagon like this one and just keep the skyline for a track car getting about for ages??

also ive heard storys that they use heaps of fule this true?

na, mines pretty good for what it is

auto sucks fuel a bit worse but best bet is to grab a new o2 sensor

i get around 10l/100km highway and 12+ city

roughly 500kms/tank and i'm usually a cheapskate and run it on 95 in tas due to the retarded price of bp ultimate lol

if your 32 is still running an rb20 it'll make you want to upgrade lol, the 25neo is such a good motor

also perfect car for a daily, i used to use mine as a delivery car when i worked at dominos haha

haha really thats not to bad lot better then the rb20 yeah i mean rb20 nice motor and all but just not for a daily and cant fit a pair of shoes in the back seats haha whats the diffrence between the rb25 and the neo??

the neo head is pretty close to the 26 head (solid lifters etc) but with no itb's but it has vct

some say it flows more than the 26 head

also cops 26 rods and maybe a few more goodies

are ok so are alot diffrent then well ill give him a ring next week coz im going to falls just hope it dont sell before that

and the awd in them can they be switched off like the 32 and 33 gtrs and gts4??

similar but different

there is a single wire plug under the dash which you unplug (or wire a switch to and put it on the dash)

start the car

pump the brake pedal around 5 times

AWD light starts flashing and its in rwd mode

yeah all the s2's have the neo (bar 260rs) and all manual's are s2's

only issue im having is the syncros in the gearbox are getting a bit worn and it crunches 4th if i go like 2nd to 4th

and my turbo has a bit of end float so it could do with a rebuild sometime soon

bought it at around 60k, now has about 130k

radiator top tank cracked too, new coolingpro rad was around $370 with postage and was fail

then replaced with a new stock rad for $220

and timing belt kit and waterpump at 100,000kms

thats about it as far as things going wrong goes

    • 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.
