btw - i hit the drags tons.

You wont need any licenses etc.

Just make sure you have helmet and long sleeved clothes and long sleeved pants.

The $36 Entry fee or whatever includes 1 pit crew as well, so thats 1 spectator. So sort that out so someone is in with each person and it all gets cheap.

These days you can easily expect 10 runs if you want it....

You clutch won't be ready for pick up until tuesday arvo so I can get it done on Wednesday for you.

As long as you give it 50km or so of easy driving to bed it in...you won't have a drama. Like I said...it's like a super sports organic so you won't have any problems with it. If you drop it in first thing on Wednesday I should have it ready to go for you before 11.

I also need a helmet but seeing as though I have such a doofus head, I am going to borrow one of a mate.

Looks like next wednesday might be the go for everyone at this point so I guess we'll make it then. Tomorrow is probably too little notice for everyone and I don't wanna head out unless I have someone there I know that might be able to drive me home when the g/box explodes lol.

Was there the week before last. Entry fee for racers: $36 per car( driver+1 spectator), Driver must wear long sleeves and long pants, plus a helmet. Actually you can share 1 between 2 cars, I did that last time since I dont have one. Just tell the lady you will share the helmet with ur friend.

should be about the same price for 2 spectators.... So I reckon go there and race better than just watch. Wednesday would be a better choice, since Fri would be more cars there. Last time, I was able to get at least 8 runs, but gave up after the sixth, since my car's so slow........ Will talk to you soon, Dan.

No problem dan.. i'll still head out to support those running tho, wouldn't wanna lean on teh new clutch too much. PM sent about clutch booking too ;)

Not sure what size my helmet is, think its an XL/ 60cm give or take a cm or so..

I might be popping out there for this, give the sedan its first run down the strip. Most likely on the Friday, might be the end of the clutch though. . . . . oh well ;)

I will aim for a low 14, should be able to get the stocko down there somewhere.

I'm in for Wednesday!! And Dan I have a boof head and a good helmet if you want to share?? No cooties.... honest....

Oh, the car is fixed and it cost a lot less than I expected!! Cracked manifold and 3 sheared bolts!! All better now and runs even better!!

I could be interested for Wednesday..really want to see what the car can do before the new turbo ect! Hmmm what time do I want???? I guess for my first run I would be happy with making it to the end LOL

Thought it might be Dave. When I got mine it had the same thing and apparantley its a common thing for RB25s. They run sooo much better when its all fixed up. . . . which is to be expected I suppose.

Mine, the crack went right around and when I tapped it on the ground it broke in half!

    • 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.
    • 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"
