I don't think I'm alone in this request...as a lot of the other people that own R34's have a great deal of trouble finding info/tech details...etc etc

It would probably help cut down on the misinformation....only today most of us found the pin-outs for the R34 ECU!!!

It would be great to collate all of this info in one section.

so then we need an r32, r33, r34, r31 forum, then possibly a "sedan" forum for each of these, and then maybe "skylines with nice rims" and then we need "r33 with RB25de engines" thread, and then an "r33 GTS4" thread?? ;)

come on, gets a bit of control doesn't it?

I am sure the guys have thought of splitting it into specific models in the past, but I think its fine the way it is..

That's a bit extreme Gordo, the reason I mentioned it is for the pure fact the R34 seems to a mystery with most people, and everytime someone with an R34 posts a question...a majority of the replies start with "on my R33 blah blah blah" which doesn't really mean much when you're referring to a NEO.

We've got more in common with the Stagea guys! Sharing the same ECU and engine/transmission parts.

If anything we should make the Stagea section to include R34's at least the information being shared wouldn't be hearsay and conjecture based on what my cousins, uncles, friends, habib saw on an R32 one ful-sic night.

points are valid.. ;)

newer engine true, differences, true.. how about a NEO engine off forced induction? Then by all rights you'd have to have an RB20DET, then RB26dett forum.. to cover these engines specifically.

I can see this being useful, as a number of cars share these engines, therefore much of the info is more relevent by engine, rather than by car.

The only problem with this is its furthering the "too many sections" problem... anyhow, something to think about for the powers that be I guess.

Hey Guys,

I am all for an R34 section, but as its been said, the forums have been criticised for too many areas as it is. If there was to be an R34 section would it be all aspects of the R34? Bevause there are several aspects of it that can be posted in already active sections where it gets coverage and contributions. Where would the line be drawn?

I suggest when you guys make your threads that you label em NEO specific, so as not to get the R33 boys interested.

Then again... an R34's tie rods are the same as a Nissan Maxima, and an R32... so... if someone wants help with their R34 tie rods where do they post? R34 section? do you think they'd get a response from non R34 owners?

BTW if you wanted R34 ECU pinouts all you had to do was search, or look in my sig... I am selling the R34 japanese service manual :) (non GTR models)

Yeah but Prank the guys criticising don't own 34's :D I do agree that we can post in the other sections....but it just feels like we have to dredge through a ton of stuff in a search...whereas if you just started off in the right sections answers would come quicker. Personally I feel if there was a dedicated R34 sections people would go there straight away...just like the Stagea section.

You generally find the best way to get a question answered is to ask someone that has the same car.

A good example is in the numerous threads where it lists part numbers like brake pads etc etc, you always get to the bit with R34 to see a load of ????????

Damn now I know how minority groups feel LOL

I see what you are saying but as said above maybe the engine is the distinction.

Perhaps NEO and gearboxes...

Perhaps instead we should start a campaign to get all R34 owners to put the word "RB25NEO" or something like it in their posts so we can search them easier.

Just an idea

There is a section for General, R33 and R32 in the "list of members tutorials" Couldn't one be started for the R34's. Obviously we couldnt use it for questions, but when a question/problem is resolved couldn't the outcome be moved there. Also things like ECU pinouts and other important info could be posted there. At least this way we have somewere we could use without having to start a new section in the forum.

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
