Im from Sydney and dont know too many places, but Centreline at Thomastown are really switched on.

They did wonders with my car just from going through what was already on the car....definitely worth a phone call to get a feel for them...but they are very switched on and wont automatically start to try and sell yoou $3,000 worth of Jap coil over as a cure for any problem.

Chris is the gu to speak to , and from what i hear/read they are slowly becvoming somewhat of an unofficial SAU suspension workshop and plenty of SAU-Vic guys go there. I dotn recommend places unless im confident they both know what they are on about and dotn rip ppl off, two very important things.

I had a wheel allignment checked by Pedders. All in all one very expensive excercise. Said nothing was wrong with my car, and charged me $110 for the privlige. Nice blokes there, but price seems bit rich. Been told you can expect to pay double by going to there.

But i didnt trust my car with franchises such as beaurepairs or kmart tyre auto. They just seem to be a bunch of apprentices working there, and too many horror stories.

I have heard good stories about traction in Rowville.

Never been or heard of centerline but its a lot closer to me than Rowville.

And I can understand the comment about a$$holes trying to sell $3,000 coil overs as a solution to a problem.

Where i used to take my car to, they put my car up on the hoist and the front strut fell out.

They said that it was unfixable and I would need new coil overs in the front and wou;ld be a good idea to do the rears at the same time.

I was a little apprehensive to give the go ahead so I took it elsewhere for a second opinion.

The problem? Strut top rubber had shit itself, bought a new pair for about $200 and all is fine.

Far cry from a new set of coil overs!

      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

      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.
