wouldnt this be considered 2 orders?

i mean, i have order 2 sets but separate payments

what exactly did u order......if it is considered to orders ill let ultimate know

and just to let everyone know. mine and a few other earli birds covers are already finshed and ready for pickup. but that wont be possible until we get 20 payers.

so lets all try and get 3 more ppl into the gb so we can all go home with nice vinyl seats.....

well, i had a look back (refer to post 132 and 141)

i was refering to GTST_SEDAN and GTR.2NV 's order respectively. They have ordered separately but paid together. So its considered two orders for them.

Technically we have 17 paid

Edited by theevilworld

i talked to ultimate he said like 7-8 sets of covers are finished....so that means a good half of us would have our covers if everyone paid.

so we really gotta hurry and get those other 3 ppl

GTS-T i thought they counted your order as 2..

my idiot mates who were supposed to pay still havent... i have been pressuring them into paying for weeks...one is gonna pay soon and the other is thinking about it...

i also have another mate who is interested in two sets but hasnt decided yet...

cmon guys we need a few more and then everyone will be happy...

anDru, if i was you, and I lived in Melbourne, i would pop down to Ultimate and talk to the guys direct.

You could sweet talk em into giving you the covers if they are just sitting there, or offer them a few extra bob.

Defeats the purpose of the group buy if you have to pay extra, but then again its rediculus and against the rules that a group buy has no end date and goes on for months and months and months and months.

well if i can find someon to buy set.. then i will order a set for me new car.. so then we will be one order closer so yer if guys know of anyone that may be keen on a set pm me as i have them for sale cheaper then the gb price

im gonna pop in tm to have a talk with em to see what i can do, ill keep u guys posted

does anyone wanna join me.....maybe make it look like a protest

At the end of the day, ultimate are going to get 20 orders, whether it be this week or this month. There's enough interest out there for this group buy to be completed.

I was happy to wait with the knowledge that my seat covers hadn't been made. However, if my covers are completed, then I think it is unfair for ultimate to withhold delivering them because of some "group buy" contract. They would be better off cutting their losses (if there even is any) at 17 and finding three other customers to pay the full amount. If it was to go to court or small claims (god forbid) then it would be Ultimate that would come out of it with a mark against their name, not the paying customer.

It would be really nice to have something to show for the 500 odd dollars I spent more than 3 months ago.

I also doubt that this thread is doing any favours convincing people that they should buy a set of covers.

i just spoke to ultimate.

the covers are NOT finished yet but close to finishing, so andru i dunno how you got that info..

secondly they are not happy about the fact that its taking so long to get 20 either. I am gonna call my friends and see if i can go and get them to pay.

as soon as all the covers are finished i will let you all know, meanwhile if you guys can find 3 more people it would be great.

i didnt say all the covers were finished. but a few sets are......and he also told me if we can get all 20 to pay by the end of this week he can finish all 17 by next week and the other 3 in another 3 weeks.

anyone else having any luck getting people to join?

i think i got through to 2 of my mates, but u know its a lil hard when u tell them its a few hundred bux (even though thats cheap) on the spot.

only time will tell.

    • 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"
