HUSTLR: this is going to be a legal nightmare.... cops already hassle mod cars.... and now they can issue notices at their own discretion removign 2 points in the spot in effect from people whos exhausts are "deemed" to loud....... imagine the abuse of power here...... points and fine... and potentially a lot of exhausts that ARE legal getting picked on.

Do yourself a favour and get an engineers report. if anyone wants engineers recommendations feel free to pm me and i will give you details.

Xrsist - simply a case of knowing how to deal with cops who harrass you. Obviously an engineers report is not a be all end all solution, if you get pulled into a big defect station and they have testing equipment on site then ur up the creek.

my 200sx measured a healthy 108.5db :lol: - I was fined $250 and defected at a station, got it cleared, put it all back on and obtained a engineers report which declares your car complies to specific ADR's.

The main benifit of an engineers report is in a normaly case of cops pulling you over, when they check your rego it comes up with a "this is a registered modified vehicle" statement which 99% of the time makes them think twice about hassling you.

Bear in mind the majority of cops defect based on what they *think* not what they *know* to be illegal - the fact you have gone to the trouble of engineering your car keeps them at bay....

This is from experience......... i will be getting an engineers report shortly to prevent issues with my local constabulary who already know me on a first name basis :mad:

      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.
