Put a light bar on your car is the easiest thing .... its light and easily put on and removed

first time out take it easy... lots to things to hit and there for funu not sheep stations

brake early, make the corner, good turn in and accelerate out straight and you'll have an awesome time

Yeah man... they are pretty light. We just made an ally braket to run across in between the headlights in the gap between the bonnet and front bar. We run thermo fans on that car and just unhooked one fan for those nights and put it to the lightbar n just turn it on via missile switch

Did you end up entering the round 2 event this coming Thursday Amir? Come along for a look to see if you like it. There should be at least four 32GTR's at this one looking at the entry list I was sent yesterday.

Yes a light bar is a good idea as it is very dark in places. I'll have mine fitted up for Thursday so will be interesting to see how effective it is. I got a 500mm long one that should do the job ;)

Come say hi if you make it down.

Hey Wes. I haven't entered and I dont think I will be able to do this one, although I really want to. I went up to barbagallo yesterday for the full day No Limits event. Was heaps of fun. If I sort a light bar in a day or two and still have time to enter then I might. How big is the list so far?

Went well mate, all my times were coming down each run. It's definitely an event where you need to do it a handful of times before you can say your confident with everything as its very dark in some places!

I ended up in 18 outright which I was happy with. Plenty of room for improvement :yes:

    • 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.
