Yeap, you definately need too see how much boost your running, then adjust the controller from there :(

Glad your happy with the install... Thats was the quickest install so far..

Try find the original charcoal canister set up, will get rid of the mitsubishi charcoal can, and stop your weird idle problems...

Siddr20 has the same charcoal can as you, and makes it idle funny too...

Turn down the bleeder... It prob runs harder now as your boost controller wasnt hooked up right

what happend to the rest of the case if you only drank like 9 cans? also FTR a 700ml bottle of beam, a couple of big bottles of coke and a kettle is the way to go.

Im not sure????????? My buddy had a few cans. Im not a big drinker, i only drink every month or 2 months so 10 cans and im usually a bit under the weather........

Mr g,

Will hopefully be getting a fmic when funds allow and will probably be heading your way for an install. In you experiences which intercooler is easiest to fit out of the hybrid or just jap kits for an r32 gtst? Or for that matter is either a better quality?

^^^ In my opinion, the hybrid and the justjap kits do the same job at the end of the day.

I did an install for Gengis yesterday at his work (got shifty looks by some), and he bought the justjap kit... If you refer to his FMIC installed thread, he quotes that the car feels more powerful at the top end from the cooler, however you get abit less lag from the start. This is due to the extra volume you are trying to fill up when boosting, hence some guys tend to wind up the boost another PSI or so.

For the GTST, either the hybrid or justjap one is the same amount of time/ease to install. :)

By the way, you dont have to head out my way, I come out to you providing your in Sydney :D

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      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

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      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

      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.
