You guys and gals should be ashamed! Not once have I read anything that expresses any concern whatsoever for the welfare of the ROO!

What of its family???? Did you think of THAT??? Oh Nooooooo too worried about chasing replacement parts I see.

You should all feel suitably chastened.

Jeeeeez......

heh heh heh

Yes, joking. Definately. But I admire Roos, they have better target lock than an F-18 Hornet. An F-18 needs to use radar to seek and acquire, but not the Roo. A bus (or Shell's car) leaves it's home port thousands of km away and, hours later, in the middle of a flat deserted plane with nothing but dirt and no other vehicles in sight, the Roo just knows exactly where to be so it can intercept the bus grille with pin point accuracy. Impressive.

i thought of the roo!! but i couldn't find the bloody thing!! :D

in all seriousness though, i never like to see an animal in pain...i would have rung the cops to put it down if it had been injured after hitting me. They do this with no problem, they put a bullet in the head of one my friend saw hit a car one night.

Bad luck Terminal, uncanny two like leech_

I was on my way back from Bungendore one night with my girlfriend riding shotgun. Been sitting on 130 since i left and hadn't touched the brakes, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm em up incase i need them. Started doing a few hard brakes down to 40kmph to get them really hot and low and behold around the very next corner was about 50 roos all over the road. I steered around two and stopped right infron of another who got confused and keeped hopping down the road and not off it.

Would have been carnage for sure had i not been doing only 50 or so when i saw them.

Some of us have all the luck. lol

    • 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.
