But if reversing cameras are banned then what are the 3T trucks with no windows gonna do?
And what are the panel beaters gonna do when Suzy learns how to park properly? Or Shane finally gets used to how close his garage door really is?
You gotta think of the future GTSBoy

I am thinking about the future.  I'm thinking of a future where everybody looks like the meat pillows in the Wall-E movie.  They're almost there now.  Can't do a google search without having Siri or Alexa stand between you and the nasty internet to handle your query.  Can't buy anything if it involves using a phone as a voice communication device - has to be on-line.  Can't navigate the roads of their own city without eyes glued to the blue line on the phone screen at eye level above the dashboard.  Can't cook, have to use Uber-eats.  Can't reverse a car without beepy sensors or screens showing alignment lines, or worse, auto f**king self parking faggotry.

Every time I hire a car it takes about a week before I notice that the thing even turns a camera on and shows a blurry f**ked out view of what's behind me when I engage reverse gear.  That's because  I'm already doing the right thing by looking backward before I engage reverse to make sure there's nothing behind me.

This isn't a disucssion about the need for reversing cameras (they have been legislated in the US to be on every passenger car from 2018 on.)

As for the post you quoted, it no longer exists. :(

I've seen several options on the market for R34 that replace the rear license plate light, so that it works/looks relatively OEM.

I've been trying to source one for a while, but the only ones I've tracked down don't have any side marker lines on the image  - which is something that's overlayed in the camera.

In the past, I'm fairly sure that Carbon Car Systems and Chris Rogers have been able to supply similar, along with MFD integration if required (not relevant to GTT)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
