I supplied the cams and paid to transport the engine to and fro which wasn't much considering.

knore,

not that you are asking me but... When I had my motor built up it was sat on a pallet, strapped down and glad wrapped up.

Fork came along and dropped it on my trailer that had a nice thick rug on it so I was able to slide the pallet off.

Myself and my other half then slide the pallet off the trailer on to the ground using a few bits of wood.

Easy Peazy.

One of the SAU NSW club members helped me out with TNT to transport it.

Best to get your engine builder to book it on their account and then bill you, that way you get proper trade price.

I drove to an industrial area (not far for me) and looked around for a pallet of the right size (you want one about half or even less the normal size). It was easy, had plenty to choose from. Companies just stack them up near their rubbish bins.

I bought a twin pack of those snatch straps for about $10 and strapped the engine down tight.

Ok thanks, so you pulled engine out yourself, put it on a pallet, strapped it down and then got TNT to pick it up and deliver to proengines.

Then when it was done proengines got tnt to pick up and deliver back to you?

It is about my rebuild but it was also supposed to be a repository for NEO info which it has turned out to be.

Shonen - you're obsessed with highmount. I'm more likely to put nos on it than a highmount. That said, a 2835ProS would be nice but I can't afford anything atm.

I've already got the highflow so I'm sticking with that due to $$. I've got some cams going in though so that should make some difference.

I think the 4 doors have the viscous LSD and the 2 doors get the helical LSD which means I'll be up for a new diff at some stage.

I was pretty sure all the turbo (2dr and 4dr) have the helical diff and only the autos have the viscous LSD's? Does anyone know this for sure?

Pete,

* The internal diameter of the stock GTT guage holes is 60mm

* Defi BF guages (amber or white dial) are only available in 60mm

Therefore the Defi BF (60mm) gauges will fit fine as you can see from the pics, but the bezel will be mounted outside the hole.

This pic shows Defi black 60mm gauges (not BF) fitted.

Not enough gauges here.... :ninja:

JustinP; you want ideas on how to install a e-01 in the R34? We've done two now (one on my one and one for a customer) and we concluded that there is only one spot for it... and that's in front of the centre vents.

Custom bracket needed to be made...

Yep any ideas would be great :)

I was thinking of removing the ashtray, bolting in a bracket inside, and mounting it as low as possible there. I figure it will cover some of the double DIN stereo but don't mind. Think this would be possible? My gf said she would rather if I didn't cover the vents heheh

I don't actually have the E-01 yet so I haven't got a real idea on the size of unit yet, I guess I should check the specs on it.

Well the way I've done it is actually just using an upside down L bracket which "hooks" onto the air vents...

1) It's removable for security

2) It looks neat

3) You don't have to look all over the place whilst driving

4) The rather intrusive wiring can be run into the vents

5) Ventilation keeps the unit "cool"

6) Keeps double din area completely clear

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
