after i got it back


IMGA0077.jpg

the car was a mess so i pulled the rb20de+t out and degressed the engine bay.


rb25deplust.jpg

the engine after i pulled it out, sold engine for 250 and turbo for 250 yay.


IMGA0081.jpg

IMGA0082.jpg

the new engine, rb25de neo was a good engine last time around but this time with a much bigger turbo.

and if 370cc injectors are to small then some 800cc denso injectors might work.


IMGA0079.jpg

starting the rebuild from the ground up i might aswell start at the back. (old sunframe)


IMGA0080.jpg

new wc34 stagea subframe (25mm wider both sides)


have adjustable arms to go in too but will snap a pic when its all back together.

does anyone know what the rubber mounted weights are on the ends of the subframe?

they just bolted on to the stagea subframe but i thing they may get in the way of bolting in the r34

my factory subframe didnt have these (photos in previous post)



todays effort before it got tooo cold outside.

IMGA0084.jpg


gloss black with chrome arms. (not bad)


IMGA0085.jpg


I didnt paint diff or axles as i might go with a 5x1 diff and axles.

took the front subframe apart this weekend been looking at ways to get more lock but for skylines it really comes down to knuckles and steering rack spacers.


IMGA0089.jpg


i was going to move the steering rack forward on the subframe but been told its not really needed as the binding that is created from xtra steering lock is only an issue with silivas


IMGA0090.jpg


and now i have a spare set of knuckles to play with and big brakes that come with em tee hehe


IMGA0092.jpg


these will help with ajustability and they came with the set i got for rear.


i will be ditching the abs now tho because these new hubs dont have abs sensor... oh well.

    • 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.
