Hi all,

My names Scott. I'll be heading up to Brisbane from Melbournne within a month or two. Yet to find somewhere to live.....

w000t! another Melbournian moving up to QLD..

I moved up here in april last year for work. Shame you're not comin any sooner, I'm actually lookin for a housemate to share a place with starting 1st of march.

Hi All,

I've just moved down from Townsville to Brisvegas a few weeks back. Small confession, I've got a '94 GTiR :) It's busted at the moment but Dan's agreed to do the rebuild which I'm stoked about and he suggested I log on to meet a few more people and learn some stuff.

Anyway, G'day!

Bish

Hey All,

I am Melly, Just moved up from Canberra :P Have a pink/purple pearl R33 GTS-T Series 2.

Live in Cooroy and work at Hogs Breath in Noosa and Mooloolaba so if you see me around there somewhere wave or say hi :P

Cheers!!

Howdy!

My name's Dave, I'm from Norman park. I'm new to nissan. Well actually my first car was the original datsun pulsar (was lots of fun out on the farm), but I was too young to have it on the road......legally ;)

I've just bought a 2000 stagea rs s2, i'd decided a stagea was the perfect car for me. This one was advertised for $12000 with 77k on the clock, and I got it for $9900 :blink: It was love at first sight. I'm hoping for a few steady upgrades over the years.

This looks like a great forum, with plenty of support. Thanks for having me

Dave-

Hi

Im Donna, 28, married, live on brissi northside @ mango hill. Got my 34 Skyline imported almost a year ago, and have enjoyed every second since. Been working towards one for a while and so far have done the usual mods, but as you all know its like opening a can of expensive worms! The list just gets longer! lol

Hope to see some of the brissi people out & about soon ........

Hi All,

I've been lurking on here for some time now without posting much or introducing myself. I'm on the R31 Skyline Club site a lot more.

I live in St Lucia and work around Northgate, I drive a grey HR31 GTS-X coupe which is now powered by a RB25DET NEO. So I expect to be on this forum a lot more to gain more knowledge in the twin cam engines.

I should try and get to some more of your events too, I've been to a couple of the massive skyline cruises but thats about it... None in my current car (my 3rd R31).

Hey, Paul here. just brought a r32 2 door.. live in Kallangur.. Run a tyre shop in Bowen hills...

Which tyre shop if you don't mind me asking?

jeez, they're comn in by the boatload... i mean... r33-load.

HaHa, I like the attitude around here already :ninja:

Cheers,

Martin

    • 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"
