This is for those of us that attended the LS1/Skyline dyno day, & saw/heard Martin's Soarer make 281rwkw on stock turbos.

I can confirm that they are/were indeed stock unmodified CT12A's (well the one I played with was).

More amazing is that the turbo I had a look @ was in pretty damn good condition, considering it would've had a hard life!

I still can't believe how well they held up to 3.0bar of boost on the dyno day (ok so I made that bit up :P)

Martin,

Liked the story in HPI this month. Was spun out by the difference the new pipework made on the twin.

Quick question: Why is HPI so damn expensive and so thin?

Didn't renew my Hot4's subscription, no matter how many shirts and vids they tried to feed me but christ....9 bux?

i know...i'm cheap...

The way its going there will be no genuine HRT 427, which means I wont be having one. That saves me from the biggest personal loan known to mankind!

Good news on the Soarer is that it makes 322rwkw at 1.3 bar with its new turbo. Cant wait for the next dyno day! Its sort of a Skyline now too, as it has R34 GTR rims.

Martin, how does it launch now? Can you still compete in the traffic light 0-100??

I ran a black 33 the other night (i think it had silver/grey Zeni Tani sticker on side) and i killed him 0-100 off the line, then i back off-we're in a 60 zone- and then he comes screaming past (had an external gate or screamer pipe, which by the way i didnt think sounded very nice!)

What do you guys think of these cars with massive peak power, but that cant give a decent run off the line?? I dont see that as being very fun!

That said, i have 200rwkw, but need a few extra! Had trouble holding off a pack of 180's last night on anzac, and those buggers were launching awesome too!

Martin, also, can i get you to tune my car through tilbrooks? Do i just ring up and say i want you to do it?? And can i get a dump pipe of same design as your soarer ones on the TT setup? -i still have the cast factory dump.

gimme a price and ill be there, cheers.

    • 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.
