Just amzed at the dyno day yesterday as to how many lines (and others) cruised on by without the stones to stop and shoot the breeze with fellow liners.

Are we ugly or diseased or, are they just plain chickenshit. There were a couple of nice cars among them too. :laugh:

im not sure what you mean?

Not everyone was there to run there cars. I dont see how it has anything to do with balls at all, some just didnt want to do it. And considering the area its in, it doesnt surprise me that a skyline or two thats unrelated to SAU cruised past

A skyline or 2. get real, i stopped counting at 20.

Noel im surprised you can still count that high in your age? :P Nah true to the point yet we dont want the wrong crowd stopping. The fact was that who was there was the point the 99% majority of which were decent people. Thats quite satisfactory in my views there

178 mark. basic mods. fmic. pipes from turbo back. apexi pod. 10 lb boost. Not a bad ground zero to start from. I saw some rides make plenty of ponies but I suspect they could be animals to drive. Plan is to finish up around the 250 rwkw mark with most of the power in a very useable range. Mod selection is gonna be the key and i am going to drive a lot of people nuts before i settle on what I want. :P

so back on topic:

this isn't a new occurence

any organised event in the public section always gets a ton of club (and other forum) drivebys

usually noobcruising, which explains the bogans in their hilarious cars showing off their exhaust noise most of the day

(that and the 30 something skylines)

Edit: For hilarious read: Piece of sh*t VK station wagon with bonnet gauges and a supercharger, hah

WAs that the beige clunker doin the footpath tuneup beside the dyno shop. LOL

Loud and clear Andy. I know that sound too well. :D

even some of the ppl i met there for the first time needed to strut their epeens by revvving off after the dyno.

but meh.. you get that i guess. me.. it got revved enough for the day so i let it idle nicely out... then it has a 300km drive @110kmh

so it got to stretch its legs

I was there for a look and was going to give my car a run, but $50 for a five minute run nah. The staff looked like they had enough they were not very friendly or helpful anyway.

And after a 300v motul oil change the day before you dont have much spending money left over lol.

People are just shy?

Honestly, this is a stupid issue to be brought up, we have nothing to hide, and there were no unwanted parties showing up, who cares that people are curious? anyone who is participates in this club is welcome, as also to those curious......

honestly who gives a crap!? ;)

    • 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"
