boost will do... otherstuff is fairly cosmetic unless you're tuning individual parameters yourself.

Depends - i'm not a big fan of guages on the dash, even though they are easier to read sometiems. They draw attention from cops and the like. Another place you can consider is down on the centre console in or next to the ashtray.

yeah i wanna do the EL too, where did u get it from and is it easy to install yourself ? whats involved etc ? im aq bit of a noob when it comes tro cars :)

got it from jetspeed but apparently its hard to get them now sum1 told me, and it took about 4 hrs to install.

My car came with a monstor tacho but I don’t wana take it out because they are worth so much. I bought a small auto meter boost gauge to go with it. The boost gauge is good but the tacho is just a waste of space and is really the ultimate toss item. There quite easy to install and the boost gauge is a very worth while addition even if it does cost about $150 with the mounting bracket :)

i disagree... so long as its below the top of the steering wheel then its ok... i got pulled over for a RBT and talked to the copper for a little and he actually thought were i had mine was a good idea rather than puting it on the pilar which is more likely to get me in trouble

lol nah seriously

down calder park fair enough u dont need a shift light cause u know its one straiht road and no one pops out

but when ur on millers rd in altona 4 o clock in da morning.... draging some smart arse in a silvia turbo... u mite wanna keep ur eyes on da road

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
