The radio itself still works fine....what we do is use the switches on the dash near the steering wheel for the controller instead, so they no longer control the radio.

But you always have the option of a seperate switch and keeping the dash radio controls for the radio....if you ever use them :)

Just wanted to say thanks Duncan with the install and Mark for making the unit.

Finally had a chance to play with it and definately makes a difference and just have to work out the setting best suited for me. Good work guys.

Hi Andrew, I've just emailed the details across to you :)

For everyone else interested, there are currently 3 available so we can get them sent out pretty much straight away D:

Hi, I'm interested. I would like to fit one to a R32 gtr. Please contact me

Thanks

I saw what the extra plates in the centre do on Snowies car, and while good for track, not good for tight stuff so this is a better solution for all 'round. I'll grab one after I recover from surgery in a month or so. No sense depriving the needy when I can barely drive :)

Actually I'm pretty sure that R32GTS4 is the first to try one on a gts4, but I am 99.9999% sure it will be fine as it uses the same system.

There is 1 available from the current batch or you can see how he goes and grab one later :cheers: You will love it :)

Just a quick update to the manual for everyone that has bought one of these.

There are actually 2 RWD modes on the controller, not one as the manual states.

1) Hold the down button down for 5 sec and it goes into "almost-rwd". There will be basically no front torque except under extreme conditions, but your ABS will still work and there will be no ATESSA warning light

2) Hold the up button for 5 sec to put the car in full RWD mode, this will also stop ABS working and the ATESSA light comes on, but there will be no front torque at all. This mode is the same as pulling the 4wd fuse.

Hey Geoff yes all the RWD only mode will work on all ATESSA systems....but it doesn't change how the 33 and 34 systems work and so you might damage them using the RWD only mode. So my recommendation is only use the RWD mode in a 32....unless someone wants to test it out for me lol

It could be ok given the clutch pack nature of the transmission system. My take is the 33/34s have more preload initially but don't know if that is electronically controlled or a physical relationship. Certainly some of the Jap controllers allow for full RWD on these models unless I've crossed some lines somewhere.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
