Yeah thats for sure, I didn't get the names of the 4 dr 34 and 33 I was cruising with along the 'scenic' route to Mt Lofty I was in the white 32 getting no traction :)

How did you go serty1 no probs I hope?

Was a good cruise but I was 10 mins late to every meet :P got held up in Rundle St then took the long way to the summit

That was NightCrawler (Andrew) & myself (Jared) you were cruising with.

That's the biggest problem with a cruise like that, you don't really get to socialise enough to get to know everyone. We'll have to have some sought of casual social event some time.

lol me and the blue rexy saw a R33 sideways on angus street almost loosing it

any1 from the cruise

Yeah that was me, my mate in the back seat was sore after that. I didn't know there was a cruise on until I saw a heap Skyline's going down Rundle, sort of got lost after that and the road was wet, so what the hey.

BTW, I was in total control until the wheels started to spin.

Your cars tops, suprised to see kids in the back seat though.

Decent cruise fellas...

Was a little surprised to see most people leave early at the stops, so had to play catchup. Went to Burnside Village and there was no-one there besides the green/bluish Cefiro. Went up Free way and to Mt Lofty car park, found 3 skylines, and thought missed everyone. Then 2 minutes later - bang...all the skylines rock up lol (was the white 32 skyline sitting in the car park at Lofty).

Good to hear you guys had fun, and hope it all went well. Somehow ended up following some guys to macca's near Macgill, rather than at West Beach lol.

Have a good New Years and drive safe :P

Dan

yeah we dont go silly on cruises so i feel quite happy to bring my kids

my 6yr old loves comming on cruises with daddy

and my front passenger was my son from ACT to which i saw the first time in 13 years on tues we played CSS together and pwned sum ct's :P

lol @ the in control until the wheels spun, nice

was a great turnout and nice to see so many skyrines in one place!

suks about the weather, really spoilt it and changed everything :)

sorry about my little slip out on railway trc, i appologise to who ever was in the lane next to me, didnt expect that to happen (open wheeling LSDs are soo umpredictable)

i ended up going bak down greenhil road as the 32 in front didnt indicate and suddlenly turned off to the left, ah well i took it easy down there seeing as the road was f*kn dangerous and soo dark.. think i need some new front tyres tho.. f*k all grip :huh:

pics cumn up soon btw :)

that would be guy (4doorsleeper) who u should apologise to. cheers

if only there was a longer stretch of road like greenhill road up to lofty, i went up there last night for the first time in the 33. coilovers are great. bit bumpy tho. was great to hear the screamer in the hills.

im not too familiar with the hills but i think we should go on roads like that for the next cruise.

yeah the dude with the mullet said to his fat missus as they walked past :

"show us your 2 litre pieces of crap"

.... to which I responded

"yeah but no doubt putting out double the power of your V8 hunk of junk" :cool:

In regards to the next cruise, im happy to organise somethin hills oriented, but it will be at night! as its safer less traffic, it will be late around 11-12pm, and i would prefer people with experience in the hills only.

I'll be in for this :huh:

Madaz...regarding that EA ford, definetely saw his antics. Surprised the car managed to 'turn'. That was before the cop came slowly past you three parked backwards :laugh:

    • 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"
    • 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.
