Here's a few pics of my '99 R34 GTT after a detail

She's stock but in very good 'nick :)

I didn't really detail the engine bay yet but here it is anyway.

The only mod it has is an unshielded pod (don't start, I know :D ). Will be fabricating an airbox for it later.

Also I've noticed that most R34's dash clusters just have blank plastic around the gauges? mine has chrome rings around the gauges and an imitation carbon fiber-ish look about it :D - maybe it was some option that was available? It doesn't seem to look after market to me

Some time has passed - but I still own this car and it has never missed a beat :)

Since the last update, I've had a 3" turbo back full stainless exhaust with varex muffler installed, along with a 5sp manual conversion & new HD clutch, return flow front mount intercooler, boost tee'd it up to 12psi and added a walbro fuel pump. I managed to score a set of xenon lights from a jap import compliance company and installed them - best mod ever. I've also recently had NISTUNE installed on the ECU and will get it tuned soon - runs quite rich at the moment. The wheels are just a cheap stock set I picked up - I planned on having my original alloys resprayed gunmetal grey but never got around to it. But it's on the list to do ASAP.

I want to keep the car looking stock but clean - and up the power output a bit. Will be happy if I end up with 200rwkw or above. Not everyone will appreciate a stock looking Skyline, but here you go anyway.

I do - looks great!! But then again I'm biased :)

Looks like our mod lists are very similar, too. Mine's still auto though but has a tune (199rwkw...sooo close) and some suspension work.

Btw mine was 150rwkw bog stock, around 175 with front mount and turbo back, and the last ~25 is from the boost controller & tune so well worth it.

Keep up the good work!

Definitely needs a tune!!! For interests sake I took my R34 out to a quiet bit of 100kph road and filmed a 0-100 timed run. I've never really gone all the way from 0-100 before at WOT and I was very surprised just how severe the stock ECU was cutting the fuel. Second gear at 4500rpm it started misfiring and straight away I reduced the throttle to around 3/4 for the rest of the run. You can't really hear it in the video, but it felt pretty horrid.

Was a disappointing 8.5 seconds to 100kph, from a standing start without dropping the clutch. Very much looking forward to getting this car tuned..

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
