hey guys,

first box is made....in my car....needs some further touching up, but overall, im happy with it. looks good... will make up the radiator panel tonight and chuck it on so you guys can see it.

after looking at the engine bay, a similar box around the washer bottle and fuse box would look good. might look into this if anyones interested.

will be down in newy tomorrow. anyone wanna meet up at bar beach...bit after lunch. someone else post up a time...

prices are confirmed

$50 for radiator panel

$100 for airbox.

will take orders tomorrow or email me at [email protected] with your address and whether you have standard i/c piping or a pipe going over the radiator.

cheers guys

Linton

let me know if you guys are gunna be down at the foreshore this weekend. I might come down for a bit.

You should see my car now Linton, with my newly aquired drift damage the front bar is starting to look as ratty as yours :headbang:

And with the airboxes, there's no real rush.

My mate with the 180 says he still might want one, and I discovered he has a piece of thin checker plate bent around where his box would go, would be perfect for getting the size when you get time.

:P

hahaha, GO DRIFT DAMAGE!!!!!!!!! :P what do you mean as ratty as mine?? hahaha....go rattiness!!! i love it!!!

i got pissed off with the wing late one night/early one morning and ended up cracking it and denting the bootlid... its cemented on there, not coming off. gonna have to be good damage to beat that.

ill let you know if im gonna be there.

also, any questions...im on msn.. [email protected]

cheers

HOLY SHITBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha, damn ian, thats rough. panel damage is one thing...but once you hit a suspension component....it goes to the next level...

id get my car towed before i ever put the space saver on too. haha, i love it, thats awesome.

Haha....

I drove around for two days like that too!

Luckily its only 5 mins to work though.

Got the rim fixed, and it looks ****ing sweet! I love not having chromies!

Fixed the control arm today too, now I just gotta get a re-alignment, and get out the fiberglass repair kit and she'll be sweet :headspin:

ok guys....ive had a breakthrough....i got the airbox out of my car...things are all go. getting aluminium on thursday...gonna drill into em and get heaps done. got some guys that have defects to clear so they will be first in line...jeez im a nice guy.

looking at around $100 for the boxes.... will also be further modifying these down the line...which will equal a price rise, but more on that later.

not sure if a 33 box will fit in a 32...but we'll have a look.

cheers

any chance of pics?

i was going to make one for my pod when it arrives from japan, but if i become very lazy i might just buy one off you :D

does it provide a good seal? how are the bends in the aluminum and how are pieces joined together?

pics would probably explain all these questions anyway.

the aluminium is bent in a metal bender... it provides a near complete seal... box and lid are joined by allen head bolts... im currently setting up a website, so no pics yet.

give me your email and ill send you some pics.

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.
