Ok..

Even though i can see it from 2 different points of view.. I will try and obide by the unwritten rules of the forums... this will be my main post for my car and its progress.. if it is updated.. (duh) the time date will be updated)

I will link a few posts that i have done already and the rest will be in here.

Ok here is the car pretty stock.. All i had done at that stage was get the tinting done + remove some dicky strips that were on the car.. ( yes the tinting is legal.. its just a kick ass grade that looks darker then what it is)

actually.. heres a pic of it without tinting and the strip of doom. (see attached)

Tinting + Clean up

After that i started on the performance a little.. I took the car to all star on the dyno day and got a very modest 123kw of power on stock boost.. it was a good number to start on.

21/02/07

I went out and bought a Apexi Power intake (from slidewise) that week and installed that badboy.. i noticed straight away that there was a little more juice under the hood.

After that i was tossing and turning on what to do next.. but since Aussieland is hotter then Japan i thought that a FMIC was a good option..

I got one of the JustJap FMIC's off the forums here and got mark to give me a hand "bolting" it on.

Was a 4 hour job but in the end i was happy with the work and was also happy i was getting my hands dirty by helping on the install..again mark... thanks :)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=158803 << Front mount install topic

We kept the front bumper on there and did not cut the whole out in the middle.. so at this stage my car looks dead stock.. but when it winds up it dont.

So at this stage due to the FMIC i now have a 9psi boost

Also i used the how-to topic for maxing the boost on the stock solenoid ( as in to keep it a constant 7psi by permanent grouding of the ground wire).

05/03/07

Last night my handbrake boot gaiter arrived.. and i must say i am very happy with the quality... Noel have a look at it @ Cactus jacks as i know you were after one... put that on in 2 minutes.. didnt think a how-to post was needed for that as we already have some fantastic ones on the forums on how to remove the inside panels.

19/11/07

Finially put an exhaust on it, got a Rob Bliss one installed, got it from a fellow forum goer, Basicly it is the full system bar changing the turbo mani.

3" with a high flow cat.

Ill put it on the dyno again soon, id expect a few more bikkies for my dollar now.

Looking good. I just got a apexi pod from slide last week. Best price world wide.

Id agree with you about getting a exhaust next.

Also look at getting a turbotech manual boost control, even when set to stock boost i found it starts boosting slightly earlier.

Hi Dean

And yeah..ill plug slidewise where i can.. pretty damn cheap prices they got there :)

    • 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"
