hmmm... i think i pretty much got everything in correctly but i dont think the old stereo/cassette that was in my line had a wire directly to the battery... which is a ***er because my kenwood unit wont work (i think this is why it wont work im not too sure) as i cant find a wire to hook it directly to the battery... ive got it hooked up to some wire that on the old radio says "13.4v Back up" or something.

anyone got any clues on this one?

there should most definately be a +12v wire there with a constant 12 volts... get a multi meter and test all the wires (mainly red and yellow ones) for constant 12v and accesories 12v.

Hope this helps.

well i think ive done it... it turns on... plays my mp3 cds and what not... whether or not its gonna short circuit or not wont be known til whenever it burns down :)

i just ignored the diag that was on the nissan stereo and plugged them into where ever until it turned on... but i forgot to earth it and when i did it turned on whenever it touched the metal... so i assume its hooked up properly lol

instead of buying a digital multimeter u can just buy a test light, which is a pen looking thing with wire that connects to the car body(earth) and a little light in the pen. they r really really cheap. just go to a car shop like marlows(dont know if thats australia wide?) and it should be a few dollars:D

then just touch it on each wire and when the light turns on with the ancillary off(ie engine off) u have found the constant 12v positive battery wire u are after:)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
