Hi, my names Nathan & I'm an Evertonian...........

Am in my the 3rd year of a Pastry/Baking apprenticeship at Burswood, 18 more months & I will be qualified, and possibly moving overseas to work, depending on what I feel like in 18 months I guess lol.

Am getting a 33 instead of saving for a house because of this reason, and look forward to meeting some people from here eventually. Bye! :headspin:

Work sales for JMills Distribution which is an IT wholesale distributor, I used to work for RTV Computers aswell. Yeah bloody IT industry. Not specialised in anything, basically a jack of all trades but for my interest I want to really to develop to high level network administration.

All these IT specialists on here, someone show me how to really make a decent FTP server on Linux (Knoppix Debian) which i've finally got around to having a go at after 7 years. Yes too busy being a lame windows junkie.

Also a decent PHP setup so I can make so websites.

Who was it working at the DoiR??? I also have completed a Marketing Diploma at Tafe and was applying like mad to get a job there and never got a reply.

Names Adam, Managed Westside Car Audio in Cannington for about two years then Managed Austin Computers in Myaree for a year. Closed up that shop then worked in Austin Cannington for a year. Broke off from Austin last november and started up my own Computer Shop "Computer Force" in Vic Park with a mate. Starting to happen for us now so watch out DELL!!! We are comming to get ya!!

Diploma in Internet and Networking, JL Audio Technician Certificate.

JXL Ive got an account with you guys I think..

Gee, arent alot of us a bunch of square eyes.

My names in my info.. (just being difficult :upurs: )

I do fly in/fly out desktop support at Mount Keith - WMC Nickel Operations.

I would rather be a fireman or something active/outdoors anyday! But... this job pays well and i get a sh*t load of time off.

Apprentice Mechanic at a dealer in Ozzie park, earn **** all :)

The labour rate is $120 or thereabouts an hr, and even the fully qualified guys only get about 10% of that :S Hopefully the skills shortage will do something good and drive wages up (tho apprentice money would still be shit, but not that bothered really)

Was doing Aircraft maintainence at tafe last year, but after finishing it decided I would really rather work on cars for the rest of my life than planes, and there was alot more paperwork and liability crap, wasn't a fan of that.

Another 31 coming soon for me :)

my name is Scott

I used to work for the DVG morley city Nissan in the parts dept

i now have moved on to better (more professional ) company.. still in the automotive industry.

i now work for John Hughes Group in the parts dept (Mitsubishi, hyundai, daewoo and VW)

oh and i still get nissan parts at cost :rofl:

I think skylines are alot like pcs, in that theres a ton of mods that can be done to customize skylines to no end, same goes for pcs.

the attraction for customizing and modding for both. although not the case for everyone i guess.

    • 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"
