Specific workshop slandering aside, i think Brad is doing an excellent job in having a go and doing it himself. I also get extremely annoyed at people who denegrate those who are attemping to learn by 'doing'. Ive had people laugh at my misfortune relating to spun bearings in an RB26 engine that i put in my car, saying "well thats what you get when you do it yourself!" Many of these people, however, struggle to change their oil and they can "manage" their projects as much as they want, but its never the same as actually getting in there and learning while doing.

As for the excessive time frames involved in getting anything done by many workshops; well we've all been there im sure. Unfortunately this is just part of the industry in many cases. My build has taken 2 years and counting, mainly due to this very reason.

Anyway, keep it up Brad. I like that you seem to be an enthusiast and dont appear to be trying to prove anything like its a competition. Of course, it would have been nice to have read all the posts but Ashley clearly goes about his duties in a biased and unproffessional manner that is not limited to the Forced Induction section.

wow.. what a mess.

nice project though..

your misfortunes (as bad as they are) is very good reading for dreamers like myself...

I hope your next post regarding this car/engine and so on is just a new thread saying, project complete, car tuned, power = xyz, here is dyno graph with power, torque, a:f ratio and boost.

good luck and good work

i cant say the real stuff behind the issues with workshops as i'll just end up getting banned because people dont like hearing the truth.

lol that is so true its not funny..

i got banned from another forum for expressing the truth and well.. now threats of being bashed (oh f**king no...) but yer.. its amusing how some people expect you to listen to there complete utter crap(wat they believe to be the truth) yet when you tell them the real truth.. they just cant handle it..

im almost at the stage were i dont want anything to do with the f**kwits invloved with the scene around here.. i'll happily go out for a bit of a run and play around.. but other than that.. dont want nothing to do with a few of them cause of the bitchyness that goes on.. simply want to have fun.. not constantly argue for no f**king reason about wat computer is better who builds better cars blah blah blah you know the usual crap

either way gone way off track to wat the thread is.. very nice setup looking forward to seeing results once fully tuned

hey mate thanks for the support, it is alot like that around perth too, too many bitches on the bandwagon who dont know jack shit and are all talk and never picked up a spanner in there entire lifetime.

i just dont bother posting anything about my car and never will again, its just too much bullshit.

i suppose the only way to find info is from rumours, which dont take long to spread around here also.

good luck to the internet mechanics i say, let them dream about putting a pod filter on their dead stock rb20 ahah

lol the amount of talk that happens around cairns is just amazing.. theres so much bullshit.. one of the funniest ive heard of is some turbo bug that ihe claims is "qld's quickest street rego'd bug" yet when it was on the dyno.. it only made 164rwhp (omg thats gotta be a record) and he's never raced it down the strip.. and he wont bring it out to race

thats the sorta shit im sick of hearing.. its even worse that people actualy believe him :P but anyway shit happens people are stupid

anyway.. send us a pm when you've got your results after final full power tune if you can please looking forwards to seeing the results :)

HEY! Thats my comfort zone...any nothing wrong with a dead stock RB20 :P

haah sorry roy i wasnt meaning it against rb20 owners i meant the people who dribble about the best setup is this and this for an hour to only find they have a stock rb20 or 25 with 0 mods.

they are the people who reckon they have the best ideas but they just got no money to do it and then bag the shit of other people who actually can do it and say "oh but y the waste of money crank when u coulda got a rb30 bottom end" etc.

if u dont like dont say nuthin.

thanks

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
