THIS CRUISE IS BEING MOVED TO EARLY NEW YEAR. WILL POST UP A NEW DATE IN THE NEXT WEEK OR 3.

Thanks

Hey Guys and Girls had such a great time on the central coast cruise so its time for another cruise at the end of the November.

This time we are going to do a run out to Wollombi Pub out near Broke for lunch and a good old chin wag, this will encompass a route that will pick up the people interested from the central coast so I’ll discuss a meeting point with the CC pplz and go from there.

If people have any suggestions for meet up locations for the central coast or Newcastle if current doesn’t suit and anything else then please let me know. The last cruise we went on the central coast cruise was a really great day - so make sure you let any skyline owners who do not check SAU regularly know that this is event is on too.

Hope to see as many people as possible should be a great day :blink:

Details

Locations: From Newcastle Wollombi Pub via CC

Time: Meetup at 10:30am behind Broadmeadow maccas car park At this stage may change closer to day…. Leave at leave 11am . (Try to be there on time plz)

Tinks and DJ Brave are in in innnnnnnnnn!!!!!

Coasties can prolly meet at the northbound Caltex on the F3 for this one Luke. I'll see what they all wanna do and let you know.

BRING ON THE JUNGLE JUICE!!! :blink:

We organised a cruise out there a few months ago but you guys will freak when you see the roads out there, they are so bad. We got to to outskirts of Cessnock and they were dirt tracks. So we cancelled it.

I'm so not taking my car out there, I cant afford a 3rd respray :LOL:

????????????????????????????

We only came across one very small section of dirt road up there - it was about 500m tops and was just dirt, not rocks or anything - we just rolled over it and kept going... there wasn't any other dirt roads...???

GTsauRus knows all those roads out there - he was the lead car when we went and it was all roller coaster, wide, open, nice roads - a few bumps here and there but nothing you wouldn't get in the suburbs... no onw's cars were damaged or filthy dirty (apart from a little rain!).

Maybe we should consult GTsauRus on this one - THE FARSHER!!!!! :blink:

PS - Brett: bring both cars!!! Your dad has never come with us! goooooooo onnnnnnnnnn!!!

Most of the roads around Cessnock / Pokolbin are fine, never had any problems! ...depends how far out of Cessnock ur going i guess - but iv never seen too may dirt roads or really rough roads around there- and they are definately not main roads!

No need to panic everyone! :(

We were planning on going up to the wine places for the cruise and went and checked them out and the roads were tradgic. If you guys have been there then I'll take your word on it.....

What roads are you planning on taking BLACK WARRIOR ?

From what I recall - the roads werent that bad couple of years ago and I did it in my VT Gen3 - handled pretty good, although a week before a club member did roll it.....so some parts can be bad!

Oh I didn't realise it was going to be Pokolbin way.... Those roads are fkin terrible. Im not going if its out there either! :(

i roads at the arse end of cessnock arn't the best,but saying that there not the worst road its very driveable,plus theres a awsome road just out the back or wollombi towards lagoona nice and twisty and from wot i can remeber there pretty smooth and ALLWAYS damp:) ill be in 4sure plus maybe another 33gtr.

(awsome food there by the way!!!)

I will be goin down the hwy to meet cc coast guys at central mangrove then we will head inland we will not be on the putty as such we will then head north up to wollombi, there are no dirt roads and the roads are fine and a lot of fun stop being such a bunch of wimps :(. no loose gravel or anythin.

    • 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"
