i've been keeping my eye on this event for a while now. Both the old boy and i r keen. not cheap though, $45 for 7 laps then $35 for the next 7. last time i was out there it was $25 for the 1st 7, $14 for the next and the 3rd was free.

Less of the old boy stuff you young twirp, just remember..on the 30th Nov you'll be squirming around on your knees pleading to borrow a set of my good wheels and tyres.

Oh... by the way.......will you be driving the Skyline....or the Lanos??

PJKJ We will both be there it should be a good day. This will be the first time on the full circuit.

Considering all the claimed 200 to 300 rwkw Skylines that are floating around SE Queensland it surprises me that so few show up to these events.

Question.... Could a 200 to 300rwkw Skyline that never makes it to the dragstrip or racetrack be considered........Rice?? :burnout:

my car is basicly standard except fot the suspention but i guess that makes a huge difference on the race track.

the standard skyline suspention is still pretty good though, u should do a couple of laps PJKJ. How much can u know about ya car and your abilities as a driver untill you've race at full pace around a profestional race track?

hmm, didn't need em last time but they didn't ask for em either. u can pick em up for bout $100 anyway, head to toe clothing is also requiered preferably wool or cotton. anything synthetic is just gonna melt onto u if something catches fire.:eek:

my intercooler is almost on and it looks like i'm going to have to fit a pod filter as my factory one won't fit anymore :D

hopefully i can dodge the cops long enough to get a cold box happening and seal the pod up.

thinking of putting in a 4 point harness aswell, my dad found a place thats selling em cheap along with bucket racing seats. the standard 3 point belt just dosn't hold u in the twisty bits and i really noticed it last time. hard to steer when ya using the steering wheel to keep ya in ya seat.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      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.
