Hahaha, OMG that bonnet is awesome. But I've already set out with my plan toward modifying my babe, GTR front, Chargespeed bonnet, full respray in Starfire Lexus Pearl White (best white colour I've heard). Carbon diffuser, rear and front splash guard and clear indicator signal light are now on the way. Only performance-wise mods to be purchased, that includes BC BR Coilovers, one complete set of sway bars + camber kit (front & rear) and a set of front and rear slotted disc rotors. Like i said, I know they are no away to compete with Tein and Cusco, respectively but imo they are good bang for bucks. here is the link for sway bars and camber. If you guys can throw in any comment that would be great ;)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GODSPEED-350z-g35-suspension-sway-bar-front-camber-rear-toe-arm-rear-camber-/300803383628

Ah, btw, I'm considering between these 2 suppliers for disc rotors:

1. GSL Rallysports: Always heard good feedback from this guy and apprently prices are cheap. I've already called, they can do about $550 front and rear slotted to fit non-brembo calipers

2. Rapid Rs: it's said the rotors are genuine and they come in slotted or slotted dimpled. Looks very nice yet not sure about quality. I've read from falcon forum, this guy doesnt seem to get bad feedback. Here are the links to their products:

Slotted: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-RDA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-SLOTTED-296MM-292MM-/150823403296?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231dc67f20 ($322 + delivery $35)

Slotted dimpled http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-UPG-SLOTT-296MM-292MM-/151064551742?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232c26213e ($402 + delivery $35)

Anyone could help me out with decision making here. lol, I'm procastinating all the times :))

Greddy + Chargespeed is what I would vote for if I had a gun to my head.

Honestly though, the 3 gtr front bars look absolute trash. It's really cheap and doesn't suit the car.

Also not a big fan of people putting carbon/FRP bonnets on what is, for all intents and purposes, a luxury GT car. Unless you are packing big horsepower, there is no need for it

The urethane Nismo bar is the only way to go .... you WILL regret your decision to go fibreglass the 2nd time to hit it on something and you are up for a new bar plus painting. FG just sucks.

Oh, I happen to have a urethane Nismo bar for sale :)

I'll take it one step further with the GTR mods to say that it will make the car look cheap and tacky because it's pretending to be a car worth way more than what it actually is. If you really like the GTR look, then the only way is to buy a real GTR. Otherwise, you will look like a fool.

    • 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.
