Nah , the tyres you have will be fine . Speeds are not that high and you will scrub them up anyway so best to use the crappy rubber.

We aren't looking for the fastest times around the tests , just a steady improvement.

Ken - they are absolutely awful to drive on - and theyve only got worse since cos the way ive been driving the car lately. When i took it out the back of Jarrahdale on Sunday - i found the car very difficult to control specially when cornering - so if i can get my hands on some loaners i would rather do that.

Been taking your depression out on the poor car ?

Trust me , it won't be too much of a problem if you don't get any.

Why don't you get some 2nd hand ones for a while before you can afford new ones.

And yes , I saw your post re. not buying crap tyres again but a lot of the problem was stuffed shockies causing the lumps in the tyres.

nah im getting second hand ones coming to me - couple of weeks away tho - its insurance n rego month im soooo poor in june - bloody paying rego on two cars!! But i cant not have new tyres - as dad said no point having a performance vehicle if you cant drive it properly - aidwin saw it bouncing all over the road very uneven - might as well be driving with square wheels.

Paul said he probably can get me some loaners.

Yes my poor car gets a lot of my fustrations taken out on it - hopefully it'll escape the polices attention tho.

besides im a competitive person - i wanna good time doing it for the chickies :)

Yea but it's a training day and I'm not interested who gets fastest time.

What we are trying to achieve is smooth control , good planning and recognition of car dynamics and how it can work for you.

I could probably jump in any of your cars and beat your times but that shows nothing.

I want you to better your own times , not some one elses.

cheers

ken

my car gets it if im pissed off so if im calm i'll better my own times - if im pissed i'll try and better everyone elses.

i dont know might just be the state of mind im in but i cant wait to get out there hehe

    • 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.
