MMMMMMMM, so much fun, pics tomorrow. Having issues with my USBs at the moment. Didn't take Glenn long to spot me! Had only just driven back from the Gold Coast at that time. I have to say at the moment I am VERY happy, it is soooo clean.

Cheers, I fitted the BBS wheels last night, plus all the other little bits and peices. Also fitted the slotted rotors today, they look the business behind the wheels, thanks goes to "Dominic" for the rotors and the "vspecv" for the rims, they look great. SAU is full of bargains! I went to fit all the suspension bits today aswell but hit a snag. Went to pull the rear upper arm off the put the adj. cusco one on and it was so tight I broke the socket, so promptly gave up! Might have to get someone to fit it all.

I KNEW IT!!!

told you that you would be doing that after you got home from my place :P you JUST couldn't wait....

sigh... too bad about my dinner appt else i would taken up yr invitation too.

I find it amazing that your GTR went into the same complience place as mine (but 3 weeks later) and you are driving your already......my black GTS-t has been down there for almost 6 weeks now and i am less than impressed with the workshop.

I look forward to finally taking my baby away from those "people" and getting it on the road.

but hey, congrats on the GTR they sure are a bit of fun!

Not sure I qualify as someone who "knows" how to drive a GTR yet, confidence is definately not there yet. Its a totally different car to drive than the GTST, it feels bigger, heavier, initial turn in is not as good, the seating position is a little different. It not heaps quicker than the GTST but feels torquier and can definately stretch its legs better on the highway! Even though it has a stock exhaust, the engine noise is completely different than the RB25. Basically totally different, can't wait to test it out properly at the track!

Sorry to hear that Haro, its sooo frustrating waiting for the car to turn up, took about 5 weeks for mine to go through. It all worth it though. Can't wait to get a look at that carbon wing blade!!

Still can't get any pics up, really hate computers sometimes, looks like I may have had a USB failure so my pics a trapped on my camera at the moment.

Finally I have some pics! This is how I picked the car up, have yet to wash it. I have just fitted the different rims and tyres, clear lenses, slotted rotors, seat covers, and a few nismo "rice" things.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • 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.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
