Bike shops are good also checkout some motorsport stores. I bought mine from GMP racing in oakleigh. Cost $160 for a full faced helmet in plain black. Open faced helmets start at around $90. So I would say those are the minimum prices you would pay for an australian standards helmet.

Make sure when you are trying on the helmets, wear them for a few minutes just so you can get used to the weight of the helmet. Some of the cheaper ones can be quite heavy.

If your anywhere near Ringwood go see my brother. He works the store / retail at A1 in Ringwood.

Ask for Thomo and tell him your SAU and coming up to DECA, he'll look after you as much as he can with the price too.

i live in sandy,meaning brighton is really close to me, i guess mentioning SAU at brighton isn't going to get the same effect? anyone at brighton i could speak to?

Nah what I said will only apply to Ringwood store. Just go to any bike shop and they will be able to fit you up. Just thought if you were close to Ringworm I could get you a better price.

Ebay might be the way to go, but probably too late to be ordering off ebay, as you don't want it to arrive on monday next week, and miss out.

Hey Scotsman,

can I say I'm from SAU and get special prices? :D

I've been to that store before and they have some awesome gear!

Yeah go ahead. He'll look after you. I don't mind any Vic club members doing that.

$800 for a helmut is a bit expensive if your only doing a few DECA's a year :blink:

It would be different if you were doing track days with 15+mins each sitting... thats where a good decent helmut comes into play with weights and construction without a doubt. If i was tracking... i would be getting a nice light one :blink:

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