You know you drive a Skyline when:

You drive past the Porsche dealer and everyone stares out the window at you

You take your mum down the street, and even tho your doing the speed limit, it still scares the s$%t out of her

You see a $300k Ferarri etc and go Pffft, shitbox

When you cruise down a main street looking at the hundreds of cars passing by and think that you dont desire a single one of them unless you see another Skyline that is more modded than yours.

When you cruise around knowing that you own something unique and built for performance from the ground up not something made special with some add-ons and a name change.

When your skyline is your desktop background and your eyes hurt starin at it for too long

When you have already bought parts for your skyline before you have even bought it and you continuosly take it out of its box and put it back in

When your reading an SAU topic that is 30 pages long and you keep saying to yourself "just 1 more page" and your up til 3 am by the time you've finished reading it

When you used to work at a supermarket being a trolley boy and making a drifting course and mastering it thinkin your kingdick.(hahaha so guilty!!!)

When you run out of money for mods you start turning your room upside down looking for things to sell

^^GUILTY WITH EVERYTHING I JUST SAID^^

when you're driving down napean highway watching an ignition dvd and hear a loud(ish noise) and only then realize a porsche boxter was trying to race you... aparently.... :)

you know you drive a skyline when your up all night reading this thread and you have an exam in the morning but it doesnt really bother you because afew hundred people out there have typed your daily life and you just have to read them all

.. when you take off from the lights and start getting worried cause you can hear some weird tinny whining over reving nosie, so you let off the accelerator to check where it could be coming from just to realise its the hyundia/lancer driver next to you trying to keep up

Haha, so true!!

-When someone overtakes you, you subconsciously accelerate

-you find yourself abusing other car like little ricers saying how you'd smash that in a race, only to find out at the traffic lights it driven by an old man...

-you drive your g/f's busted ass civic and as the revs go up you subconsciously get ready for it to come on boost, but it just doesnt happen...

you know you drive a skyline when you dont care about petrol prices.

you know you drive a skyline when you're at carlovers on any given night freezing your fingers off to wash it.

you know you drive a skyline when you press stop before your home page loads, and type in 'www.sky'...drop down one, hit enter and click "todays active topics" once SAU loads.

You know you drive a Skyline when:

You are known at your place of work as the one with the flashy car

You hear people complaining about paying $1.70ish for petrol and wish you could only pay that much instead of paying for 98.

You think you can beat anything on the road

You go around mouthing off about the R35 setting the fastest Nordschleif time, even though the only thing it has in common with your car is it's namesake

Deep down you know the 2JZ is a superior engine, yet you don't care

You and your mates provide a good 50% of your local police forces defect quota

There is ALWAYS something on your car you're looking to change/modify next :D

when your walking to your parked car and stop and just stand there looking at it and give your self an assurance that you made the right choice buying a line..

when you drive pas a petrol station and see the advertised price has gone down and get happy, then frown as you remember premium is 10cents more.

when your 18 and vic roads say you cant have a turbo, but you buy a gts anyway just so you can drive a skyline

p.s still munches mates commos

    • 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"
