Do the Iron Mask cars all suffer from poor low beams ? I put +50 H4's in mine and the improvement was minimal . I should really remove the glass lenses to see if the reflector chrome plating is dirty or stuffed/corroded . Have any of you had this problem and found a fix ? Are new light units available ?

I've also refited the modified struts with the HDT Bilsteins and adjustable camber tops , anyone after some DR30 specific short Tokiko front inserts (suit lowered car) in Sydney ?

No, not that I know of. I managed to find an alt with the same body, but had to swap over the cooling fan & pulley. I don't know what this alt was from.

If yours needs rebuilding I recommend Hampstead Auto Electrical on Muller Rd. They'll actually bother to get it re-wound if it needs it, whereas most places will just tell you it's knackered & buy a new one - even if it is only the diode pack.

Im not sure of direct replacements,but if you can make a Bosch alt fit as they are cheap,common and reliable.

the alt may be aok,usually wiring/harness connectors are the cause of volt drop.A heavy wire(9mm) from the B+ terminal of the alt to the positive terminal of the battery is a good start.

I drove my car the other sunday night for first time in over 18 months and i didn't have drama's with the lights, i've got a magna as a daily driver and i have to say that the lights were just as good as the magna...

As for alternators, apparently the drama's with the standard dr one's is, being internally regulated they can't keep up, yes there is a bosch alternator that does fit, Josh has swapped to one i don't know which one it is, but i know there is some wiring that has to be changed going to it but apart from that is a direct fit

FJ alternators wasy . Aust spec Bluebirds (910 Ser 1,2) were fitted with Bosch alternators . Mine had the longer stator and rotor for 80a output . I also had the higher volt (14.7) integral regulator . Parts for these earlier alternators are getting thin on the ground , particularly the high output reg mine is an Ingrams , but they can be made to fit . The chief drama is the bulb check relay systems on Aust spec cars. The alt on mine refused to kick in and charge when started unless the engine got to 1300/1400rpm . Stay with the std Hitachi , better quality and reliability .

    • 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.
