yeh joe...try not to think about all the bad stuff....i.e exams

try and think positive and what 33Spec2 said, think of the things u have to look foward to!!!

i always hit rock bottom....live away from home, miss family, hate most of the people i live with atm etc etc :(

but yeh...cheer up buddy!!!

:P:D:(:D :D ;):D

Dude , if it is any comfort i know how you feel. I was employed for the gov 2 and a half years ago on contract to develop an e-commerce application for online ordering and electronic data interchange.. ihave now developed it and signed up nearly every governement hospital in WA! i have done my job and have done it very well! unfortunately with our department merger they said they won't need me any more and want to save the money as the software is up and running..... so they have given 4 weeks then i am outa there.... they owe me about 6 weeks holiday coz over thattime i never took any days off but what sucks most is that since i was 17 i have always had a full time IT job.... now in 4 weeks all i have is some holiday money up my sleeve.....

As hurting as it may sound..... if i don't find a job or alternative over time SLY might have to be sold.... you all know how much time and effort and $$$$ have been put in that car but i have had to think about consequences if i can't find anything... fingers crossed that i do find something..... the point of me saying this is that life can change sometimes a bit too sudden.. it doesn't always have to be bad.... good and bad things will inevitabley happen but it is always good to have friends with you throughout these times.... hopefully you can find a bit of happiness from the forum and on our cruises! if not you can always call and pop round!!!

Hey Joe,

Mate I had the same feeling on my way back from the Auto Salon and I think it is the weather. We all have Bio rhythms man so dont stress. in a week you will be getting over it. I am feeling it for sure right now though as well. I would love to go for a drive but the weather freaks me out. I got brand new tyres and I still dont trust myself yet. well i do ala the speeding fine etc but I cant help but feel that if i am down then the cops are definately gonna be there or me waiting.

Anyways man, life will never guarantee you any security bro, it just presents opportunities so take em and see where it leads you. You got to have Faith pLaYa!!

Yo joe, u just need to hang out with some fun friends more often i guess . (my skyline's parts have come through and works starting hint hint)

thats how i felt when i lost my car and a few other things and persons and friendships joe, u just gotta do something else and youll be fine

Joe - u know that day i was really pissed off and depressed for no reason like you just think of those photos you told me to think about - u know.

Or get yourself a mother like mine thats more than happy to march you down the doctors and get you anti-depressants.

joeeeeeeey joe joe,

whats wrong dude, look forward till april 11th cruise, then you can spend happy time with the rest of us! hehehehe :P

or if ya like you can come into nandos and watch me work! i know you secretly do it from outside the store already :P

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
