Like $4000 with it being back to stock parts
I want to take the turbo, coilovers, injectors, boost controller, ECU and Z32 off it

Lets see how this dickson run goes first I guess.

My other option is to get my mum to register it in NSW under her name at a workshop down the coast

Yeah the only thing I'll pretty much be fitting to the 34 will be the turbo.
The rest of the stuff I could still sell off the car and probably make more money than selling it with the car.
Especially since the injectors and things will be no use without the turbo anyways.

Not true. At all.

Hope they don't give you too much pain Dan. If they heard yours no doubt my mate will get a letter for his white s15. :\ so glad i never go up there.

well there you go its not true at all, never mind what i said.

for your coilovers set the eyebrow heights to 370-380mm.

for your boost controller if it is easy to remove and just plumb straight from intake barb to wastegate. otherwise wait to see what they sau.

dont have any gauges on the on the dash or a-pillar if you have a pod filer make sure its secure. as you said just try do the simple obvious stuff and see how you go.

Not true. At all.

ACTUALLY, it's partially true. (from what I gathered from the guy who engineered mine) anything non-OEM that can change the function of the vehicle in any way is supposed to be engineered...whether Dickson give a fark or not is different.

Dash mounted gauges and 33 GT-R wheels needed to be put on mine, not by request of the Dickheads at Dickson, but that's just the way it was supposed to be done.

Exactly!

The laws allow for variance. You can change things within certain boundaries. For example: standard r32 turbos to -7's will not need to be engineered (i know this for a fact). Eiji mentioned a grey area in the act about replacing parts to the closest you can get is allowed. He seemed to know more about it. You can increase power by a certain amount without needing to engineer the car. To simply say any mod requires an engineers cert is completely wrong. ACT is weird in the way it is governed.

Disregard. I dead set honestly have no idea what I was thinking. Derp. What you said is correct and I know it lol, f**k knows what was going on in my head when I wrote that. He only noted them on their because they were there, not because they mattered.

yes that is all true. i didn't mean what i wrote to be taken completely literally. What i meant by factory was factory options eg car came with side mount and is turbo so changing to a front mount or another factory option turbo or similar equivalent is fine. however making a car turbo that never was a factory option would need engineering. This does not at all reflect what i initially wrote. I wrote it quickly and didn't leave much for interpretation so my bad for being misleading, i hope this has all been cleared up now :-)

Anyone know how they go with boot lining and boot struts?

Mine don't hold the boot open and my boot has no carpet either. Below are my current concerns.

-MSD window switch in my glovebox

-intercooler runs under the battery tray

-only one child restraint?

-boot doesn't hold itself up

-no boot lining

-rolled guards with plastic removed

i think you need a spare tire, and only a owners manual. mine passed dickson without boot lining, my boot struts did work and a did have splash guards at the front at that point in time. it didnt have a front mount but the front bumper was modified to one to if they didnt care about that surely the wont care about splash guards.

Only one will not suffice for child restraints. I had one in the middle - I was told to get 3.

I did - they also asked for an Engineers cert - However, I went to john at Trojan from which he installed it in - I didn't have the time to get the Engineers cert but still went over Dickson. They asked for the Cert - I said I didn't have time getting one, then they asked who installed it and I said John from Trojan to which he ask to see the recipe - the guys checked the back and said it was missing rivet bolts and to sort it out or they'll take my plates - then passed me :)

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
