Hi guys,

New to the skyline scene here. Just bought my first skyline last week, R34 GT-T, and I was wondering if any one could/ or knows where to go to get it installed properly.

I bought it from autobarn and they can install it for $100 and itll take an hour or so. I figgured that SAU people would know if this is decent or maybe some one could help me.

The guy at Autobarn has never installed a Greddy auto turbo timer II before, so im a bit hesitant to get them to do it properly.

Any one can help? Im on the northside but can travel anywhere i need to.

Cheers in advance! :(

Ricky

Hey man welcome to the forums :D

Just for future reference I wouldnt buy anything like that for your car from Autobarn . . . Ide lean more towards some of the site specific traders like just jap :D

Anyways good luck with tha installation ! ! !

Oh yeah dont forget to post up some pics of your car when you get a chance . . .

i say get ur $100 back and not worry unless you have been thrashing the crap out of it just before you stop it is useless and best to just drive easy for the last min or 2 before you stop as light driving will cool better than letting sit idle

Yeah man a friend of mine said hes got a mate near runcorn that can install it for a couple of bucks and carton of beer! haha I live on the northside, near Chermside... Yeah its got 3 pins on the connector.. looks like this if you hold it on the side: [=|]

I just rather get some one that has done it before and knows what there doing, and i can watch them so i know what to do next time. the model is a: Greddy full auto timer II. The one with a seperate face.

Cheers,

Ricky :D

I have a connector that will plug that into the car with no cutting. - at wavel hts btw.

Oh just down the road from me! How long would it take for you to fit it and have it up and running? Also what would you charge?

Cheers!

Ps. I've heard about you Chris... That your the guy that knows everything.. haha.. (thats a good thing)

Its plug and play if you buy the connector of Chris.

Like 3 plugs and your done unless you want the 0 to 100 and theft/saftey functions (about the only thing it is good for) then you need to splice wires to handbreak and speed sensor on the ecu.

Or i am sure Chris can do it for you at a good price he is one of the best.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
