Thanks to all for another tops Wang weekend. Had no idea it was even on til Snowy mentioned it a few weeks back and I was already flying in to Melbourne for some quality time with Raechel. How convenient!!

Big thanks for the generosity of the Snowdaddy lettting me drive the GTR. What an animal of a car!!!!! If I ever find this ellusive EVO I will be happy to return the favour westside. Thanks to all the helpers on the day. A really slick run event. Adz and Ash, those wang burgers were the best yet!!!!

Did you finish up blowing your voice box James... Seemed to be getting a bit crunchy towards the ends of the battles. Great job mate. I am sure there is a role for you in an upcoming 2F2F. :)

Apologies Mav for just about having you jumping the armco on the long wang.. bit of a hairy moment.. :)

Great to catch up with so many of you again and thanks for making me welcome. Sorry I missed the Wang night out, but I think I might have struggled to convince Raechel that racing cars all day and then getting on the sauce with all you bad eggs that night and then being the enivitable broken shell of a man on Sunday qualifies as quality time :D

Look forward to getting back for another one..

Lol Blaise no worries at all mate.... just was hoping that it would grip which it did, so their was nothing to worry about ...

Thanx for the Burn on the Skid pan that was Great fun... Never been in a car going that fast in my entire life...

the buleen bar sucked the wang and i couldnt work out why they were handing out bottle openers, i only saw today they had their logo on them.

the yahoo bar was tons better

You're kidding. I thought the yahoo bar was a hole, no a grimy cesspool, and didn't help the bouncer was a powertripping c0ck with Gareth who just needed a little more riverdance time to sober up. It all came down to Gareth looking down into his wallet for ID with the hat on while the flog kept telling him to look up at him, then griping because Gareth couldn't find his ID so he said "you're out"! Whatever lights your candles I suppose but I prefer to see and hear the people I talk to. The girls just flat refused to stay when they walked in.

Surely there are better places to drink in town.

i think paul was more pissed at the yahoo and therefore anything and everything was more enjoyable!!!

Top weekend guys and girls.

Thanks to all who helped out and thumbs up to Chris and Snowy for another fantastic event.

I dont remember much about Saturday night, but I'm sure it was a blast.

PS. My bag is still missing - cancelled credit cards, phone and EFTPOS card yesterday - very very pi$$ed off. :)

love the trip and the driving cant wait for the next one where can i sign up now and pay the money

thanks to everyone who helped out cos if they werent there the day would not happen.

Great weekend, big thanks to Russel and friend (sincere apologies but im drawing a blank on your name), Nat, Mav, Leewah for helping run the back track.

His name is Ross and it was his first exposure to a motorsport event. The ride in snowy's GTR has ensured a future interest in the sport. He loved every minute of the day as did I. It was a pleasure to help out.

Also great to meet more of you this time and have a chat.

Highlights were the runs in Snowy and Petes cars. bugger... now he thinks my car is slow....

Ahahahahaha

PMSL Age - thats gold.

Yeah Brisby how did our cabin have a layer of water over everything the next morning???

Funniest thing was Ash waking up and saying "Where the fark are all my clothes???" - his bag was on the floor completely empty and Brisby was snuggled up on the couch wearing them all.

    • 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"
