April :cheers: full service .... belts were changed in November. But it sounds like somethings starting to squeel a little bit under there!!

ive got heaps of rattles i never had before either - not that thats a performance thing but still annoying.

Dunno whether to take it to Slako or C-Red ...... C-Red did my suspension and said that it was spluttering etc on the way in but they also told me it was because of a non standard leaking blow off valve - what tha? mine standard and it aint leaking. And when i took it to Slako for service he said he couldnt find what i was talking about.

Maybe urs is aftermarket but in the stock position?? i would have though that they would have tried to fix it if you took it into them.

Did you get shocks and springs put in by C-Red?? I definitely think that i am going to go lower, well when i get in to my house anyway cause there will be no gutter to drive up!

i bought the car like that. haha thats the first thing anyone says about my car .... its sooo bloody low .... oh well gotta have a little bit of rice at least :cheers: no point putting neons under it cos i dont think you would hardly see the shadow haha

haha neons?? that would look ok actually cause all you would see is a bit of a glow from under it!

I had fun on the work today, the only good thing about working in the sticks is being able to fly past all the other traffic going FAST!!

Drove through the city on the way home though yesterday and the exhaust and BOV sounds cool... hehe

and i have got a day off tomorrow as well! yay!

i would like to know but i dont think theres anyway of telling .... ive looked for some kinda label imprint but cant see anything. It was funny cos when my shockies packed it in the tops of my wheels actually disappeared above the wheel arches by about 2cm haha...... no wonder i had eggs in my tyres after that little episode.

yeah cant wait to redo my exhaust etc ...... just need the cash - i want to collect enough to do the exhaust and Intercooler together.

Guess i better save to fix that wing of mine first :cheers: ..... so what do ya reckon .... veilside copy?

well mine was probably whiteline then ..... thing is the guy i bought my car off sent me thru a few invoices on stuff he had done to my car .... mainly invoices for the rims etc .... but on them it has the REAL odo reading!! it has 95,000Kms when he had the rims done in April last year but i bought my car with 75Km on the clock in August ..... go figure. It also used to have Bunbury plates on it.

with your kit i reckon that a veilside copy would look pretty cool!

havent you got an aftermarket exhaust already? i am sure that it sounded like it!

i got to finish off my exhaust as well as a front mount and clutch... got to save to do things to the house when it gets finished too!

i reckon that it has had the clock wound back then! definitely.

My car has got 83k on the clock which is pretty good for a car of that age, my old 98 pulsar had more kms on it than that!

how long ago did you get it cause i used to stay down in bunbury a bit and i reckon that i might have seen it now!

well me and this guy who drove a Skyline but isnt part of the club was talking at City West one day while i was waiting for a few guys .... and he went to have a look at the exhaust and goes .... yeah it could be a bit bigger eh? haha ... i kinda grown attached to my holden Clubby tip tho - im not a big fan of the big northbridge tunnel look hanging from the car.

yeah i thought the veilside might be the way to go :cheers: GTR is nice just had too many problems with it disintergrating on me thats all!!

haha must be hard with house n car things .... i wouldnt mind buying a house just need to win lotto for the deposit .... even got the area picked out :D Sometimes i think stuff the car i'll jsut save for a deposit on a house.

yeah i thought that i would be able to do both, but i am finiding it hard... i think that the car is going to have to go onto the back burner for a while when i get the clutch fixed :cheers: unless i win lotto that is:)

i like my northbridge tunnel, the ol' D1 style! i like it cause its no where near as loud as most peoples that i know and looks good.

Got it in last August .... was owned by a guy who lived in Freo since Feb last year (ahh being a licensing clerk was a wonderful thing .... bit of background checking :cheers: ) then it mustve come from Bunbury people previously.

it wouldnt of had those rims on it when it was in bunbury. from what i can see the kit wouldve been the same tho.

no doubt its been wound back but i wanna know why? usually gets done in perth but why did the guy that had it before me wind it back ... he was a fairly older bloke .... and its not like the car had done a huge amount - thats fairly reasonable in my opinion .... my ZX is an 88 and only done 113,000 but thats believable cos the guy that had it used to have about 5 other cars!! and i used to not take it out often cos i used to have the use of the dealership cars.

My ZX is loud!! its the kind that can set peoples alarms off haha .... i used to work in a place i was allowed to park my car in their high rise carpark cos i worked late .... anyway i really hated working there and every nigh ton the way out i would leave black marks on the ramps and set off everybodys alarms *evil laugh* .... then i got the pussie R33 with the Pussie exhaust.... i wanted to see if i could take hte ZX to work today (if the battery wasnt flat) but my mum refused to let me drive my own car cos it wasnt insured!! for phucks sake its got third party and iveonly had one prang in the history of my cars and it was small and while i was on my P's!!

    • 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.
