Hi all,

I have finally purchased a car I have wanted for a few years: R33 Skyline!!

Its an R33 GTS-t Type M Series 1. It has the type M body kit with the factory optioned GTR wing, I think they are GTR skirts?? I am not sure. The car has the following mods: Nismo sports suspension, Nismo fuel regulator, GTR fuel pump, Apexi pod filter, HKS SS B.O.V(not fitted), Turbo back Trust pwr evo II exhaust,

Greddy turbo timer. Japanese 17" rims, Tinted windows, Suspected heavy duty clutch. HKS start button.

I havent got the car yet but I have already purchased for it Nismo clear side indicators and a Nismo grill. The car needs the front bar repaired/resprayed as well but its not that big a deal as my girlfriends brother is a very good panel beater/spray painter, I think we are going to re-spray the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. The wheels have a few gutter scratchers so I will get them repaired. I am very pleased with it. I have some photos but the car is dirty so they arent to good. I just have to learn how to drive it good and how it reacts different circumstances, wet weather, etc. Can anyone tell me how to clean the headlights good to get rid of that murky look or do I need to buy new ones?

Hope you guys like.

Cheers.

Dazz.

no need to replace the front lights

i'm not completely sure what product it was but some guys on a SAU cruise in the ACT were using some meguiars stuff for the headlights. may have been the window washing stuff, worked wonders - made the light completely clear and new-looking again.

just had a look, i think it was the meguiars no smear glass cleaner. i use the stuff on the windows and works wonders, give it a try

Haha, yeah I purchased local, well sort of, Melbourne is about 3 1/2 hours from me! As soon as I get it I will be detailing it!! Thanks for that about the side skirts, I like them even better now, lol.

Thanks 95GTST, I was thinking of going to the Casterton drags but I am not sure yet, see how the weekend unfolds. I will definately be taking the car to the drags, we have an 1/8 mile in Warrnambool but I would rather go over the proper 1/4 to get a proper time.

    • 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.
