well you'll find theres an accessories wire that goes to the back of your head unit.. i cant rememebr the colour of it off the top of my head. but with a multimetre it should register ~12v when the key is set to accesories or on .. wth my boost guage i wired it up to my illumination wire, as i didnt need to see the light on my guag unless it was dark and i had my head lights on too

but yeah.. unless someone can correct me i would just say get a terminal block and tap into the illumination or accesories wire on your headunit... however this may require the fuse to be changed with added load

cigarette lighter...

i used that as a remote wire in me landrover to wire up a amp/sub... only problem with it is when u got the keys out of the ignition and turn on the radio (only when im cleaning it ect) the sub dont come on... i was prepared to live with that so it was all good

hmm .. my deck isn't wired up so I can have the radio on with keys out .. but ciggie lighter is an easy spot to take 12v from .. cheers.

I'm probably going to go with this. I'm going to make a "harness", which will plug into the cigarette lighter harness to power my gauges. Benefit of this is it isn't permanent...

And, I don't smoke anyways.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
