In my old car, used extension cord for amp wiring, ignition stopped working- so i bypassed it and just put a switch on the dash.

only ghetto mod on the line is a plastic cap from a tin blocking off the BOV return line

good thread!

got my snapped trust front bar held together by 50+ cable ties PLUS a few more to hold the car up + cable ties used to hold the indicators onto the bar.. oh and ive got my sideskirts stiched up as well with another 15 or so cable ties..

and yep used a good ol' coke bottle lid to block off the recirculation for the flutter...the lid out now btw but the cable tied bar is here to stay! lol

I'm currently making a battery terminal for my Skyline using nothing but 2 25x125 pieces of 3mm aluminium, a 500mm length of super flexible 25sqrmm cable (stock looks to be around 16sqrmm) and 3 M8x35mm bolts. If it works, I'm posting up pics. If it doesn't, I'm deleting this post and buying a bigger battery with bigger posts :(

Booze + me going West Coast Customs on my car usually means disaster... :glare: which reminds me, I'm thirsty... :kiss:

Doing auto - man conversion on old commodore, threw half the parts away because I decided they were "unneeded"

Car drove perfect too!

Cable ties held it's front bar on,

Worst thing in the skyline was double sided tape to hold the DVD player in

  • 6 months later...

Rigorous testing of cable ties has recently been conducted and proven that they are able to withstand speeds of up to 263km/hr when being used for the purpose of holding together ghetto body kits.

Haha. Great link.

Nothing ghetto on my Skyline, I learnt my lesson on my previous cars.

My first car was an E30 BMW. The stereo install on that was just so so bad. I never actually got around to securing the amp and sub in the boot, so they would just slide about all the time. I forced my 6.5" splits into 5" mounts by using long screws and angling them into the holes. The speakers ended up sitting out from the mount about 3cms, but they hung in there (most of the time). But the worst was the headunit. I couldn't be bothered taking off the whole dash to mount it properly, so it just sat loose in the dash wish Blu-Tac jammed down either side of it to try and get it to stop sliding out onto the gearstick whenever I had to slow down.

I loved that car.

But I love cable ties more.

on my old car the bonnet flew up while driving cause the bonnet latch was broken, i had no cable ties so i pulled the wiring from my cd player and tied my bonnet down.

That ain't ghetto,,thats McGuyver

lol, i had to drive for an hour back home with no tunes

longest trip ever!!!!!!!

Atleast your probly handy enough to fix it yourself.,as i've probly already posted in this thread...

my head unit is hooked up through my headlights = tunes only when lights are on.

fixed it by stealing the missus's iriver + external speakers.LoL

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
