Hey all I have a real prob here and I am wondering if any of u guys have a solution or fix. I serviced my car over the weekend by myself, "Yeah Baby!" , quite proud of myself as I am not a car guy at all thank you skylines australia. Now heres the prob with tht nothings leaking everything went back on the right place but when i start her up and have here idle i can hear a chirping noise and it wasnt there b4 my self service plus its only there on idle and to about 1500 rpm. The oil i used was castrol syntec blend 10w 30 par synthetic and i put 4 quarts back in the car. I bought 5 quatrs but only put 4 back in. Now when i pull the dipstick to check the oil ,this is now many runs later, the oil is right above the L mark now b4 you guys say well u need more oil let me explain the dipstick has L then some scratch marks then the H mark and then the dipstick groove, now the oil is by the L but also when i look further up by the groove oil is there also but none by the H. Do I need more oil or is it another prob also I went to check and see if the speedlimitter wire was cut on my r33 gts-t and I found the wierdest thing. I knew I had a radar detector in the car before it was shipped but after i picked it up from the dock thieves had cut the wires to the detector and removed the adapter for the cigarette lighter ne way i had no idea where the wires ran so i left them alone. Now as I was going to check out my speedlimiter wire i noticed the strangest thing one of the wires were spliced to the cut wire from the radar detector splice via crimp cap now the speedlimiter wire wasnt cut just spliced with it does ne1 now for wht reason and how does this affect my car? Thanks.

First off, you need to wipe the dipstick before you actually read the oil level, ie, pull it out, wipe the oil off, replace it, and pull it out and read.

The oil higher up the dipstick is probably from splash, that's why you need to wipe first. Also, before you measure the level, make sure all the oil has drained back to the sump - leave the engine off for a few minutes to ensure all the oil drains back.

about the wires being spliced, were any other wires spliced? it may be that it has either had a speedcut defender on it (gets rid of the speed limiter), or if other wires have been spliced then it may have had a piggy back ecu on it.

      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"
