Dan's user name on SAU is 3lit3 32, try pm him if you need any thing done to your car or advice, cheers.

DOU33, so the silver 33 is yours aye? I will leave a mark on it when I go to Dan's place to get my car back, haha. I so want my car back already!!!

Hey Ryan,

Sorry I had to rush off so quickly, I did come back to see you guys but you had already left.

I went to Dan's on Sunday and it seems your clutch pedal box is almost fixed.

See you back on the road soon.

PS. Time to join RACQ....I am just about to ring them and join myself.

meh if i can i usually stop to help out,

not so long back i stopped and re attached some cooler piping for a girl in a 32 4door. took me 2 mins as i carry tools to fix those kinda problems with my car.

nothing wrong with a mate comin to help you outta a bind. be it change a fuel pump on the side of the road or whatever. there are times when its not about saving a buck, but just getting your car moving again.

I stand by my opinions...

If a mate of mine needed advice with a mechanical problem I give it over the ph or tell him to get it towed I'll be over later for a look...unless ofcourse It was an easy fix like hoses ect.

If anyone I know asked me to drive out and hold their hand to calm their nerves while they wait to be towed for a simple breakdown..I'd be forced to call them Mary or Nancy (mood dependant), tell him he has a heart like a rabbit and suggest some possible treatments for his inability to cope in simple everyday situations.

But that's just the opinion of a fully functioning adult not the panicked actions of a prepubescent school girl ;)

'Be sure to post up a pic of your ride, so we can all wave if we see you stopped on the side of the road ;)

That's what seperates you from great mates.

Im much like Ryan, dont know a whole heap about engines, Dan is my mechanic but also a great mate, I'd find it very hard to find someone who would make time to help a fellow liner out like Dan has, time and time again not only with my car troubles but a number of others on here, he has gone much much futher then any mechanic i have ever met when it comes to helping someone out.

You Sir....are an idiot!

To start with, how dare you make fun of his english! He can call it a tolltruck if he likes as he already stated that his english was not so good.

Secondly....From his description over the phone, it sounded like the clutch slave cylinder had let go in which case I carry a spare and can do it on the side of the road...in fact it takes only about half an hour. So what is wrong with going out to at least see what the problem might be, and then attempt to fix it or sort it out another way. It turns out that it was his pedal box that had split which is common in the 32's where a heavy clutch has been fitted. This meant it could not be repaired on the side of the road.

Thirdly....he has only been in the country for 7 months and hardly knows anyone who would be able to help him out. He also had his girlfriend with him. Imagine being stuck on the side of the road in a country you hardly know with no-one to call and ask for help. I think you would be in a slight panic as well.

Fourth....He didn't ask me to come out and hold his hand, he asked me for help so I gave what I could. He was stressed, his g/f was stressed. I hadn't had lunch yet so I went up to the servo to grab a sandwich...while there I thought they might be thirsty so I grabbed a bottle of water. Who knows....an hour in the sun and you might be thirsty as well. It's called thinking of others.

So before you open your fat unwelcome mouth here....think about it! coz you aren't the only person on the planet. I dislike your attitude, I dislike nearly every post you have made on SAU to date, and I dislike you. You never have anything nice to say to anyone and you bring nothing to the club or the site.

SO PISS OFF MATE!!!

Ryan is an awesome guy, yes his english isn't the best, but hey he's still new here and its not hard to understand what he's saying, he is an all around nice bloke who is extremely friendly. I don't see how you can go off at him cause his english isn't perfect, you just a pathetic wanker for making fun of him on here.

I've held my tongue (fingers) in an attempt to take a breath and try to rationalise madbungs posts and their rationale.

I can't.

It makes no sense to me, but I'm a Queenslander, and I think you (madbung) should be in Victoria with the rest of the blinkered ar*eholes pouring your vile attitudes sh*t in the stinking Yarra. Not to draw credit away from the fine members of SAUVic who are some of the nicest people have met, who do help and are almost completely unlike the type of people I refer to (eg madbung), but chances are down here you will run into a cretin instead of someone who generously and without hesitation thinks of others.

With difficulties on the side of the road one night, the one car that stopped simply shouted abuse because we could possibly have slowed his journey by a couple of seconds. At the time we were both suffering pretty severe mobility disabilities from injuries caused in service in the Army but we felt so impressed that somebody actually pulled up and reversed back to have his spray. This is why I'm leaving this festering hole of inhumanity for Brisbane, regardless of the great mates I have made. Brisbane has nice people, or at least people who won't go out of their way to remind you just how helpless/useless/inconvenient you are to their busy days, regardless of how little choice you may have had in the circumstances.

I applaud Ryan for having the courage to ask for help, for giving credit to those who did him a good turn and thank him for giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your complete lack of good character you ignoramus. I also hope that anyone reading this thinks about the next person they see on the side of the road in difficulty, and realises that they really aren't in that much of a hurry. I always feel good about it when I help someone, sometimes for days even living in the worlds most unlivable city.

Your day will come 'bung. I just hope there is no-one innocent involved to suffer when the bad karma comes back to bite you.

very well said mate, good on ya!

Thanks for sharing a great story, and I'd like to say welcome to the skyline family :D And i think that I speak for a majority of the members here that we would all stop just to make sure that we couldn't just help even if it was just to see if everyone was ok. I would hazard a guess that the skylines that drove passed either did not see you or were not members of SUA. Unfortunately though we do have tools that manage to to join such as Madbung who have nothing worth while to say when their mouths (keyboards) open.

I am of the belief that if you have nothing productive to say in life shut the F#*k up as no one really gives a s*#t what negative minded people are even thinking. And I only have one word for Madbung who had the great idea of become a keyboard warrior in this thread one night ALONE in his bedroom before his mum had cooked his dinner - KARMA

SO PISS OFF MATE!!!

El'retardo aka 3lit3 i'm not your mate, I thought that had been established previously...

I haven't said anything derogatory re: your girlfriends language skills, his English seems fine for someone who's obviously learning and saying any different would be racist and plain rude, wtf are you on...have you been inhaling brake dust ?? As for the rest of your puerile tirade, nice work but your meandering point is?..Mine was: I don't think giving a mate a ride in your car means you own him and to think that way is selfish, to bag a friend out who was busy with his own life instead of coming to hold your hand on the side of the road immediately when summoned?? Pffft get over yourself and grow a set.

So congratulations for you Daniel for going the extra yards well done champ, what a human being.

If I had know he'd only been in the country for such a short time your actions as his mechanic would have made more sense. Don't forget to charge gst on your loaded prices fella!! Try not to suck him totally dry while you at it though..lol mechanics are your friends!! sir Lancelot @ $60.00 an hour what a guy!

Seriously If your going to make broad statements re: my posts and attitude you should back it up with facts not just bullshit & say that you've read all my post ect....because you obviously haven't.

Lies and exaggerations were a module of your tafe qualification though weren't they?

I'll end with some humour...what's the difference between a lawyer and a mechanic

the mechanic was dropped on his head as a child.

SHYSTER feel free to have another whinge to the forum mods if you like

My girlfriend's language skills? wtf...I didn't know your mum wanted to take things to the next level.

BTW it's $55/hour and I charged him $235 to remove, repair and re-fit the clutch pedal box plus do a full injector service (replacing his with a full set that I have spare as his was leaking from the injector body).

    • 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.
