Hello people

After an unsuccessful meeting with a member of our coat-of-arm near Melbourne airport, I will be needing a complete set of front panels etc for my V35.

Do we have a reliable supplier in OZ for the needed parts and who are they?

Any useful help here would be appreciated.

Cheers

Craig

As an update, the local smash repairer has it all in hand and looking at a 4 week turnaround. They have sourced all parts and repairs are under way.

Makes it easy

Handover inspection will be slow tho - want to make sure it is right

And they would have hit up Nissan local for it. I have a mate of mine the does V35 bits by the container load.

Good to see it is sorted. 4 or 5 figure sum?

Hey Chris

RACV has pissed us around for a week and only after I phoned on Friday (twice) did we get any action on them giving authority for the new light. Problem is now they are going straight Nissan with the hope that will make it somewhat more expedient than your estimate.

I pointed out that we could have done this 6 weeks ago and saved not only time off the road but also some stupid stuffing around with second-hand lamps.

Not happy Jan. And they know it!

They are going to hit the same wall I did. Nissan have to make them. They have. Minimum order request and I say that has been met but it is still 25th before production finishes for these orders.

Up to you in the end but that is nissan Japan saying that , not me.

Well, the world turns and time marches onward.

Seems Nissan Japan has done its bit and the headlights are made and we should land it Sydney on Thurs, hopefully here Friday or Monday.

Not holding my breath though. Been here too many times.

I should have given this another crack.. Usually when they tell me a date they are not far off it. Looks like someone placed a decent order for lights within the last two weeks.

Car is finally painted and awaiting the aforementioned headlight.

Pity that in these many weeks, they failed to notice the huge creases and dips in the roof turret. When I pointed that out to them, they were very surprised indeed.

The Painless Dent Removal guy was there and had a look saying that something heavy had been placed on the roof to cause that damage, not just a bump.

And my photos bear him out too.

    • 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.
