I had just about beaten the 9.349 & now you tell me we can use TCS :)

That's bloody good, feel free to post up a non TCS time, it started as pretty much "whatever you need to do" challenge so any mods are fine. If you could get the launch perfect then TCS off would be faster I'd say but that is going to be pretty hard...

Ok. FULLY modded inc NOS but with the TCS & ACS turned off = 0'09.371. I'll post a screen shot when I can find my camera. Might try it with the TCS on & see what I get :P

9.337 is just about as fast as i can get it

With that sort of time I'd say your tuning is spot in, I had to break away from convention (well maybe it's not convention) in tuning my gearbox to get any faster. Hint hint, 5 gear changes in 9 seconds might not be the fastest way down the 1/4...

I had a freak run too...

so are you just holding the nos and accelerating flat stick the whole time?

thats how ive been doing it

so how many gears are you using over the 400m?

also are you guys using any ballast weight?

The Launch is the trick, need to get that right, then flat stick with Nos all the way, auto box but holding some gears a little longer using the gear shift button, 5 gears, using a taller final drive to get that, I was maxed out in 5th over the line.

Never really found drag racing on GT4 that exciting.

I love taking the wagon around the dirt tracks. But my favourite is the Nurbergring. You have to set your car up spot on to get a decent time on that track.

If the car is too low, and suspension to hard, it is impossible to control over the bumps. If it is too soft, it just wallows and handles corners like a boat.

From memory, I managed a sub 10min lap in a standard RS4. I don't have a lot of time to play these days.

The PS3 is out in November (at this stage) and will cost NZ$1000.

All Silver ones, can' be bothered taking pics of the other colours just yet, been playing heaps of 'Tourist Trophy' from GT makers only motorbikes if no one has heard, pretty good not enough game play tho, and pretty easy. Tips for anyone taking pics on GT4 turn the brightness up heaps in the game makes them a bit better.

    • 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"
