Go Jack and this is going to be the biggest track day in Australia ever for GTR's and others. How many sleeps left???

I can't wait. Hey Jack I will follow you to learn this track which I have been playing over in my mind since I was there in Easter. I will then give it the button on the straight with the boost turned right up this time. I reckon with good condition and the bigger rear wheels and suspension geometry mods and more I will be 45's or better.

Its going to be an awesome event, would love to see the zed overtake me on the straight with the 'cheater' button!!! :domokun:

Seriously though, the zed is definetly give a lot of GTR's grief....

Blah, blah, blah...blah, blah. We should calarify that the car may be doing those times...but youre nothing more then a passenger in that thing of yours. I mean look what happens when your driver aids take a break

Hey that was a propper OH SHIT moment and one I am glad to have lived through with nothing more than some slightly flat spotted tyres.

Much better than say hitting a wall on the cool down lap....

Or hitting a wall because you went out with a leaking gearbox....

Actually - how many walls have you hit??? And how many balconies have you fallen off? And how many times have you been hit in the head with a lemon?

Its called being resilient...walls dont hurt. I think of pain as candy. You mark my words. I could have the worlds biggest off at PI and i would walk away, but...i struggle to tie my shoe laces so go figure :(

Lemons dont either but they sure give you a fat lip.

Hmmmm ok then 43's it is and I would be very happy with that. Yes that turn one is a big balls fast corner way more than Eastern Creek turn one. Looking at the ocean doing 280ks then hit brakes a bit then bend to right is awesome.

man this is going to be fun

i love track days with fags everwhere driving !

snowplow.... those tyres ya flat spoted are worth more than my car!

pinny power for the win i say (R31 Number 1!)

i watched a lesbian flick on the weekend so im pumped to smash all you C_nts... (might even do some driving!)

ive watched barrons video of hitting the wall, watched Roys video of hitting the wall and ive looked at the pictures of my last melbourne oddesy when i wrote of my silvia.....(someone is going to get hurt and need a liver transplatnt by the end of it!@)

Agree, the Calder/Silvia stack as a good 'en ! :( Better then anything i can muster.

You buy the beers Fatz and i will get the mea. I mean in a drunken stoopa refuse to pay for the meal :)

A minor off I had which was ok was Oran Park when power steering locked and I went straight ahead at the dog leg. This was no where near as scary as turn one at Philip Island and suspension unloaded and did a big wobble at big speed and though I was going for a big off.

sweet

roy that food rocked especially when free

what do i win for the best kid award on the day(skid into the fence that is)

fatz you butt monkey. the food was free for us, but our kindly little friend paid to ensure no police attendence after someone (not naming any names) scrunched up the bill and threw it at the waiter along with some harsh words.

best skid into the fence wins a victory burnout in Johns Z in the carpark.

and John, your stacks are just like your driving. weaksause. show us some real damage. all the cool kids have done it. at least snowbrown tried to bin his car but those pesky tyres wore themselves out and kept him on the track.

YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At lease you hit something. ;)

Ever hear the saying "you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat" ? Well thats Victorians for you, hopeless. Have a look at these sweethearts "hav'n a go!"

I mean if they were actually driving on the limit and pushing the car they would be bound to hit something when it all comes undone. Mind you, credit where credit is due. It does require a different type of skill all together to drive a car whilst wearing high heals and applying eye liner and lippy

Flashbacks to that night still have me in stitches. "Turn left Old Son...My life is on your hands Old Son...how much for the women"...only to pull a Sean Garrity and walk off up the street smashed after the lift home :D

    • 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"
