Everyone please check their PMs in about five minutes.

I will be placing the order on my subbie this Friday before I got back to Noumea for another week.

Means I should have the parts back to me within a week, then getting the bending done the first couple of days the following week.

Payments now due.

Okay gents, heres the low down.

I'm going to have the first batch of Nismo guides made up, then I'm going to butcher the 'work-shop hack' guide I have here and make sure 100% that it fits the standard bar. I wouldn't want to make a bunch up and have to angle grind them to fit, because that would be crappy!

That means that those with standard (and aftermarket bars) will have to wait a touch longer, but it means you will get a perfect guide, not a 'suck it and see' guide.

Bear with me, as the wait will be worth it.

I promise to have them done as quick as I can.

Could you please photograph the front bar for me.

Also the bonnet where the radiator guide will be going.

ASAP please, as I need to order the panels at the latest tomorrow.

For all others, the Nismo bars will be bend up today, and ready for delivery any time.

I will photograph it on my car when its done.

I'm then flattening the 'workshop hack' version to make sure my calculations are correct for the standard and aftermarket bars.

I'll keep you posted later today.

Shipping wont be too much.

I'll be putting on the work account which means pretty low prices.

I will be wrapping them quite severely in cardboard and bubble wrap to make sure they dont get bent.

I'll get quotes from TNT and let you know.

Erik.

I thnk the best thing I can do with your guide is to make you one just like (GTTR34) who has an URAS front bar.

From what I have seen of the fronts bars (Nismo, Stock, URAS) is that the front of the aftermoarket bars is very similar to the stock bar. The edge of the URAS bar needs a little section removed which by the photos on your dar-domain website looks like yours will too.

The stock bar comes forward from the radiator support bar, where the nismo bar actually goes above that bar.

I cannot gaurantee 100% that it will be 100% perfect, but I think it will be damn close.

I will be cutting the rest of the panels late this week.

I wil recieve the finished guides for the nismo bars today, and I will photograph them when I have them.

That's when I'm going to butcher the old panel to make sure all will be good with the profiles I've already devised.

Almost done ppls.

PS. My next group buy will be a replacement pipe (made from alloy) for the AFM to turbo snout. I've been wanting to do this for ages and haven't had the time. I'm thinking of doing one also for the R33 and R32. Kit will included all clamps, silicone and ally welded pipe.

So, any interested?

This afternoon.

Or tomorrow morning.

See the above post though. I think the URAS guide (which is identical to the stock bar, just with a little snip from the edges) will be fine on the C-West bars.

Any interest?

I was asking about these back in Feb 2003! Check thread:

AFM to Turbo air intake piping one of my first threads :D

YES I am interested, there may be some useful replies in that thread BASS, particularly regarding having flexible hose / joins at each end!

Let me know how she goes. Also, how are the standard bar radiator guides coming along?

:rofl:

    • 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.
