Matt,

Sorry about yer run last night buddy, you'll get 'em next time.

Anyways, I have put up a post on the LS1 forum to gain interest for this meet, from people that i have spoken to the general consensus is "BRING IT ON"...

Cheers

Mat

I should be in pending on date obviously : )

Off topic, what do u guys launch at. I was trying a few launches tonight with my mate and best i could get between 6.2-6.5 0-100

I can feel that there is alot of improvement there so hopefully i will dip into the 5's.

Bear in mind it was with a stop watch and ive only had the car on the road for 3 days : )

Good stuff people - glad to see you're all keen :P After the 05Apr street meet it easy to see why!

Matt,

Thanks mate - for both the assistance on the AIR day & the kind words after my sad effort at the street meet :P

Clint,

The shift light is a unit made by Pivot (Jap brand name) See here - 1000500591hi.jpg & here - http://www.autospeed.com/shop/category_176...761/browse.html

It's designed as a cigarette lighter plug-in but I cut the plug off & hard wired it in. Works well, especially when you hit the limiter under w/spin! Oh yeah, it's red in the pic/ad but mine came with a blue lens!

I've seen you take off before - you'll put some of the guys to shame.Once you have 1 run under your belt you will be loving it - trust me. (BTW - sorry about the 3am SMS - I pressed the wrong key)

Erica,

More likely to be 50 (or even less) people private. I was chatting to Ivan again earlier today & he didn't make any mention of advertising beyond our forum groups + a few of his regular customers.

Good onya' Chris. That's the spirit :D

Good to see you made it to the forums 32godzilla! (Bit of SAUSA advertising at the drags never goes astray!) Very nice times too! You'll have to come out cruising ....

32godzilla - was that you I ran against in the bracket when I did the 9.50? Was sitting on the start line waiting,waiting for my green light & loved reeling in another set of stovetop lights.

Was looking at the datalogging tonight & even though the trap speed was 153mph(245km) I didnt back off till at least 265 in 6th gear well after the line!!!

After reading Martins comment on page 93 of HPI.29 I couldn't believe it when a "$50,000 torana" lined up next to me on the next run.Even though the GTR was all over the place I couldn't back off & let him go, so I fought the steering in every gear & took him at the line.I'm not sure if there was more than a metre

between our door handles over the line & I know which car would be more fun to drive.

G'day & welcome 32godzilla,

Does a certain Yamaha bike have anything to do with your car ;) ? If so then I was just behind & to the left of you in the line up lanes Sat night - nice 32R mate :) Nice time too! Hey can I borrow your traction advantage :P

Likewise SR910,

Yep mate it's on a weekend. So your in :)

    • 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"
