Got a mate of a mate of a mate to respray my front bumper a while back, took it off for him, paid upfront only for a 8 day turn around which resulted in orange peel finish and some bugs in the clear, which might I add was still soft when I drove an hour to pick it up... Lesson learnt

  • 2 weeks later...

I noticed the other day that my old man, who's been using my car as a bit of a workhorse because it's bigger than his own car, has managed to chip and/or scratch the glass on TWO of my Defi gauges, and also scratched the top of my head unit on the frame above the display.

When I confronted him on it, he simply dismissed with an "It's alright..." and I said, "Umm, no it's NOT. If I did that to your car you'd have the shits. These are $400 gauges, you know I spent a big chunk of money on these." I slightly exaggerated the cost to try and make an impact, but I may as well not have bothered. :(

I'll have to get photos.

Just dropped my Stagea to get a RWC and a few marks on the panels touched up, thumbs up for panel shops that do RWC's. Hopefully comes through with not a lot of issues

Another horizontal dent with accompanying scratches has turned up on the left rear of my Stage, suspiciously at the same height as the garden edging beside the driveway. Oh well, resale value has been ruined by family over the past couple of years, I'll have to keep it and endow it with a bazillion killerwasps.

Dude that's sucks, hope you can rectify the damage done or at least make it look better in some way.

Nothing stays new/pristine for long thou, believe me I've tried. :/

Firstly the idiot is me.

Tried to install a mini hd media player via the aux port in the tv tuner.

Spent hours soldering plugs and power supply.

Managed to get good connections but the media player just didn't display with the screen.

Tried every resolution option but unsuccessful.

No sound either, just a fuzzy scrolling faint image.

So two weekends later, cut it all out, put everything back and still stuck with stock head unit playing cd's. :angry:

thanks, managed to get one of these.

hopefully will work, plugging straight into oem tv tuner .

Got a question though, will sound cut out when hand brake is released or just video ?

cheers

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
