i don't get this! so you're saying you would have liked to have lied? claimed your turbo was stock to win the stock turbo catergory?!

Let's just say that I did not advise anyone on what category our Skyline should be in.

Let us also say that I have never been coy about what turbo we were running (unlike some around here).

but obviously everyone knew what catergory you should be in?

i never advised anyone either.. yet everyone knew!

me not telling anyone what turbo i have is my business!!! people like talking about their mods (you) and some people don't!!!

and for the record... my closest friends know what i have.. as do alot of other random people that just find out... so its not a real secret! I just don't speak of it... big deal!!! not sure why you're now using that in this thread... shouldn't you take it to the postwhore thread?

so... you would rather pay dumb just to win??

Not at all.

I just would have liked someone to explain the situation etc. and to look into the others who may have tipped Adrian's dyno number with an unopened stock turbo (as far as they know?)

It just seems to me that a lot of people don't know what turbo they are running. I do, because I had it removed and repaired.

ps And doesn't ruckus have a lot to say for someone who has been around for five minutes.

LOL at joe!!!

El Bee... its obvious you knew your turbo is not stock! yet these other people didn't have a clue.. thats the difference!

I don't understand why you are asking why you got moved out of the stock turbo category.. its known that your turbo is not stock...

what exactly do you want? a pm from adam confirming this? whats the point... you already know he is going to say that!

yeah rukus.. what do you think this is? some kind of thread where you can post replies or something?

get a clue mate!

I am not sure if your are being sarcastic or not regarding ruckus.

So, I am going to say that anyone who posts 7,000 posts in 12 months has got too much (nothing) to say.

wow awesome come back there.

hi5 to u.

i think i've only ever attacked one person on the forums other than yourself. he deserved it as much as u do.

so, umm about 10 posts all up have been attacks on wankers out of ~7000?

u've had at least 30 posts in this thread alone constantly complaing and crying about bullshit which no one gives a flying f**k about. so that's 30 out of ~500 ...

pretty piss poor ratio if u ask me..

Thing is Moanie,

The decision to run was made fairly late after Genelle asked directions to the venue, and found that her sig was then included in the list of those who were running.

We did not know what the categories entailed, and trusted those running the show to do things as they saw fit.

Now, if you found yourself in this position and found that you were on the leader board (for an assumed short time, as you have a dyno sheet showing quite a bit more), what would you think when you find that your name has been wiped and no-one, to this day, has told you anything about it.

I have PM'd Adam (abobob) this morning and have not yet received a reply.

Yes, I have issues with Adrian (2rismo) arising from this day.

Yes, I have issues with antbody involved in deleting our entry and putting Doods up (sorry Doods) without considering the alternatives.

I posted in this thread for two reasons.

One, to ask what went on.

Two, to highlight Adrian's incredible efforts.

It's guys like you that bury any intelligent debate. Well done !

See you around.

El Bee

Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to stir u up anymore, just wondering what u think the alternatives were?? Leave u as leader with non-stock turbo (as they were classifying it anyway)???

I know that in the other categories high flow was considered non-stock so its not like u were disciminated against

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
