G day everyone just thought I would introduce myself and show my current project.

My ride isn't everyone's cuppa and technically isn't a skyline but has the heart of one, always loved the RB engine and my old cars so it was a simple progression.

My current project is a 1955 fj Holden that I am fitting in a RB25det, Greddy inlet manifold, high mount GTX30/76 turbo, aftermarket ecu, 5 speed gear box and a VN crumple door diff

Etc

Aiming for around 400 HP

Currently fitting up the engine etc

Most people like the idea, some don't and when asked why I say why the heck not.

Cheers

Paul

Hi and thanks for the reply

Not as yet still reading through all this info on here, man there is so much info on here I think I'll be here for weeks.

Thanks for the heads up I will have a look for that thread.

I know of a fella here in Perth that has a EH ute with a RB 25det and the thing fly's putting out around 500-550 HP.

The RB25det into a Lj torana was going to be my main project but when my old man passed on I inherited his FJ which he has had for 40 years, so now I'm boosting the old fJ now.

Got approval from Dep of transport for the conversion now just need a combination of time and money.

Now for some more reading and to search for that torana thread.

Cheers

Paul

Ah yes the LX hatch build

That's an awesome build and he has great fabrication skills and being 4x4 is just plain awesome, should handle great.

Looking forward to seeing this car on the road

Thank you for the link, will start a build thread when I get along a bit more with the project

Cheers

Paul

    • 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.
