Some Help with translation/info - very much appreciated


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, this request isnt for a nissan, so if u dont want to help i totally understand :P

I own a HC Cosmo Luce (HC3S) with the 13b turbo, and am having a shocking time finding a source for any aftermarket parts for it as far as engine/suspension/body mods.... especially not speaking any japanese

Ive found this site, which appears to have coil overs, an exhaust and even some sort of body kit on it... (in japanese ofcourse)

I was just wondering if anyone could possibly take the time to have a look at it and tell me if these items are for sale/whether its possible to buy/anything that may help.

The link to parts to do with my car is...

http://www.a-rf.co.jp/A-RF/hc3s/index.html

if u scroll down u will see a picture of exhaust and coil overs, the rest means nothing to me hehehe

the main page is...

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks for ur time.

Aj.

Mmmmm... the aero parts at least are "order made", meaning you order it then they make it. Having said that they're hideously overpriced! Those aero parts are just half spoilers and lip spoilers, but they're at "full-bumper" prices... the hassle of owning a not-so-popular car.

The coil overs are about double the price of new Tein or JIC coil overs, but they are Ohlins... top shelf stuff.

Even the muffler looks pretty ordinary but it's approaching the price of some of the cheaper Titanium mufflers. You might be better of making mods to an Apex N1 (or whatever) muffler to fit your car?

In fact the only commonplace (read: cheaper) parts that you really can't make to fit your car would be the coil overs but at 348,000 yen (A$4,360) without shipping, you could probably ring up Whiteline Suspension to design some coilovers for your car from scratch and still have money over for lunch!

Thanks for all that mate, I think in the end ill have to shop around locally, or keep an eye out on yahoo japan or something.

I was just searching and saw the coilovers and had my eyes almost jump out of my head...

Oh well, i guess doing some thing in Oz that hasnt been done much b4 is going to have its costs hehe

cheers.

auto exe do cosmo stuff too; http://www.autoexe.co.jp/ (well respected company in japan) - try the third link at the top of the page and scroll down :D

you could also try www.do-eng.com

also, try wading through japanese cosmo enthusiast lsites, such as this http://j09g.cside5.com/customize/index.htm to find useful links

good luck

even tho cosmo is not common, I'm sure plenty of rotary shops in qld can help you in term of engine and mechanical stuff.

I spotted this one only a month ago..

thanks in advance for the help

:D

Cheers for that guys,

unfortunately most of that stuff seems to be for the "JC cosmo", the model after mine.

Mines the HC, basically its the 4 door 929 shape with a single turbo 13b from a FC rx7, where as the JC is the 13btt or 20bt.

I think i should be right for mechanical mods, as alot of gear can be used from FC rx7's, such as turbo kits/computer upgrades etc.

Suspension is the major issue, with pedders and king springs sort of the only available without costing an arm or a leg.

Id love to find someone to correspond with in Japan that may have experience with these cars.

    • 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.
