Looks amazing. Keep a good layer of your preferred sealant on it, boy do reds love to fade lol 

definitely going to protect is as much as I can lol.  Gettin the main dash painted to match and then bolting up all the carbon fiber pieces.

You're painting the dash? Which parts? 

basically the whole main dash itself.  i have a carbon fiber glove box, carbon fiber radio bezel down through the entire center console, the steering surround, and the gauge cluster surround.  I also have a sheet metal rear seat delete and sheet metal door cards that I am going to have hydro dipped carbon fiber to match as close as I can.

so what colour are you poainting the dash itself? 

red to match the car.  I just got a truck from someone that has a paint matched dash and I love it so I am going to do the same to the skyline.  only way to really "modernize" the dash so the interior doesnt look so dated.

Well, it's not my style, but it's your car and you've got to love it.

If re-sale matters to you, I would strongly suggest not doing that particular mod, but if that's not a concern, go wild and enjoy it :D

I will be buried in this thing at this point.  There is way too much money wrapped up in it to ever bother selling it.  When I say ground up, I mean ground up.  There's not many parts or pieces that havent been upgraded or replaced with new oem parts.  It will basically be a brand new car that I plan on driving every damn day! haha

Bold move! Need to see how it ends up

follow the build.  now that it will be back at my house tomorrow, I get to really start digging into it and putting it all back together!

Will do! I'm two steps behind you but probably close to 45k AUD deep into my rebuild... Always a comfort to see someone else go all out too ?

Im almost 75k USD into mine so far but Im about all in. Not much left to buy at this point.  Its all piled up in my basement ready to go.

Best type of insanity! My worst fear at the moment is that my car will get too good, that the driving will feel dull since I can't use its potential. 

Oh well, back to topic, this is your thread after all! You went with a trigger kit, s13 subframe and newer color. Got any other modification to share with the rest of us? Found the thing that will make it truly your car? (maybe the dash?)

Better than drugs right?!  I also went drive by wire with a 350z pedal and a ctsv throttle body.  Going full air suspension and all gktech adjustable arms.  Shaved door handles and trunk lock.  Trying to go neo power steering pump to get rid of the dual stage pump, hopefully I can get that to work.  Engine was rebuilt.  New gaskets, rings, and seals.  Poncams and adjustable pulleys.  Cant think of anything else thats too crazy lol.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
