I am truly sorry it came to this Erin. I know how you feel and now I am at an age where I can afford these types of cars, I won't allow anything to come between my goal to own a car I am happy to drive to work in but can also be taken out and spanked every so often. You are more than welcome to get a fix now and then with my car if you wish.

shotgun wedding car at your wedding. speaking of which i should come get my picture off you.

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :worship:

And yes, it's sitting here and I thought that the other night, I should go meet you somewhere to drop it off.

Hey Erin... So when is Andrew going to get rid of the VL?

In the next few weeks the VL will hopefully be gone. Theres a bid on it at the moment so I guess it sells when the auction finishes.

Thanks Dave :D Out of all the people on SAu, I'm soo glad we met Andrea and yourself :D

Sinbad has bought me many friends and foes over the years, but to those friends of ours, thank you for being you.

<singing>

...Say goodbye and I'll miss you, tomorrow I'll kiss you, remember to always be true.

And while I', away I'll write home everyday.....

</singing>

And so ends one chapter, and so begins another.

Like compressed air through an intercooler, so are the days of our lives.

Goodluck Erin!

bahaha.. GOLD cyrus.. gold..

Good to see you got a sale Erin. Hope things go well for the wedding and whatever else in the future. Not a bad time to be selling out of the performance scene to be honest..

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :mad:

Good stuff with the VL hope it goes. Shame as well not instead of.

And Im glad I met you off boostcruising not here, otherwise Id feel very hurt by that comment :P

I hope your not going to dissappear on us now. And farewell cruise for the skyline???

Going from a HKS 2510 300rwkw 4WD GT-R to the 1.6L laser was quite the jump and can be pretty frustrating at times.

haha, lets race gaz

but seriously, yer, i feel your pain erin

we've just bought a house and atm the skyline stays (its our only car), but im nervous as heck especially with petrol prices on the rise and my horrible fuel economy

our baby is gonna want to not break down and be a very good car to hang around

luckily i got the wedding out the way earlier, so its just the house to worry about :P

im terrified that i wont be able to get what my baby is worth if i have to sell

"whether I really did need 200rwkw to drive to work and back."

You're right Erin...you need more powah!!!!

Well sad to see it go, but good luck with the house etc etc, I've heard that you get more plaesure out of owning one?!?! :D

Hahah..

Looks like we might have found a car, we are off to look at it tonight.

Sometime today I gotta also get to the bank and deposit the cheque :S Sometimes I hate being a fulltime employee..

Hang on, what am I talking about, I hate being a fulltime employee all the time.

Thanks Patrick :)

We purchased our new car tonight, pick it up on Friday.

It's not much, but it's what we wanted.. Mitsubishi Mirage 2001 model with 70,000kms.. all the mod cons.. blue. Will have very dark tinted windows and new mags soon enough :D

Cheap small car is the way to go!

    • 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"
