Guys i need input from you gurus as to which way to go with wiring.... I am starting from scratch and want it to be as clean and simple as possible. I am thinking maybe a central Dash mounted panel with resettable circuit breakers and run all the basics through them so I don't have to worry about fuses. Obviously good quality wire and relays.

If anyone has any suggestions please jump in!!

Check out raychem products, you can go all out use their wire, heatshrink, moulded joins, cover the loom in dr-25 etc. where ever you mount the panel it needs to be easy to get to so your not upside down tangled in the cage trying to work on the electrics, resettable circuit breakers are the way to go for sure!

Haha this thread is turning into a 'ask for help' thread. Oh well.

My tuner made some comments about running the Haltech PS2000 ECU i have and wants me to run a motec system.

Super expensive but happy to pay the money if worth it.

What are you guys thoughts???

You might have to search google, I havn't seen a topic on here about their stuff but that doesn't mean their isn't. It's pretty high end to go with their moulded joins, looms covered in dr-25 but very good quality, there might be cheaper alternatives.

With ECUs you could argue all day about what's better but in my opinion it's best to either find a tuner that likes your ECU or use what he recommends

Yeah having a tuner who is confident in the product he/she is tuning is definitely a consideration.

Their products seem interesting, cant find a massive amount of info on it unfortunately but found the Australian distributor so will give them a call!!

Hey guys,

IM BACK!!!

So keen to update you all on the progress, lots has happened!!!

Although the car is not finished, it has been coming along nicely and i have done lots of work to the old girl. I will update the thread with photos and details shortly.

Noddy: The car will run a very special 26/30, standard gearbox (for now) and NISMO diff. I just had a little peak at your build, they dont look tooo dissimilar. Woudl be keen to hear how yours goes and think we should pit them against eachother sometime ;)

#skyginer: Yeah the geomerty itself is standard however we have installed every IKEA Formula arm available (roll centre included) bar the front upper control arms which they said wouldnt be back in stock for a long time. SO for this i modified some CUSCO arms.

    • 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.
