Hello i was pumping up my tyre and i noticed what looked like black paint or like someone has drawn a line with a black permanent marker on the chrome lip of my rim, it is shiny and black does not feel like a scratch cos if i run my finger over it i carnt feel it at all but it looks like a black mark on the chrome lip, the lip is also slightly dipped in so if i got too close to something the scratch would be on the bit that sticks out more and not the bit that dips in, i tried to clean it with solvents and then with polish but nothing removes it. And i just dont understand why it is black for cos it is on chrome and as i said you carnt feel it at all running your finger over it, so does anyone know why it is like this? and how do i fix it

I'd say its painted chrome which is usually painted over a black base ,in which case the paint has scuffed through....I have a wheel the same, is painted black chrome...you can't really fix it though you could try repaint the area, it might come up ok.

btw the way carnt is not a word, the word is Can't , its an abbreviation for can not ;)

lol and i now know what the black is, it bugged me on how it hot in the lip cos the lip is dipped in on the middle and i have worked it out, it is not paint that came off and black under it, someone had rubbed there tyre onto my rim and that is rubber transfer cos it can be scratched off with an abrasive and its chrome under it but no solvent will touch it at all for some reason, and using abrasive will take the clear coat off which im not worried about cos i have white stone chips all over the clear anyways so looks like i have to polish all the clear coat off all the chrome and thats a massive job

      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

      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.
