Dear P1,

Please tell your members to refrain from trying to race a POS silver R32 GTSt when they are in the white GT3. :rolleyes:

If we had got door to door i was going to say "James wont be happy for you to lose to the Silver Bullet " :P LOL, though i think i may have been kidding myself that i could have perhaps been quicker. If only i wasnt such a candy ass and given it a go :)

Haha - when was this?

I often regale (just for you Snowy) Members with tales of our adventures in the Bullet. It has become something of legend! Now officially the 3rd loudest car ever.

I wouldn't have been surprised if the driver folded under pressure when shown the power of the RB20.

Which reminds me - Snows: the GT3 is getting the 'sports mode' exhaust valve fixed tomorrow. It might need a quick run down to Anglesea to check if its working properly.

Will keep you informed.

BTW TB - you would LOVE the Koenigsegg. It's got the most stupid 'pre-flight' setup ever, smells like avgas but holy crap is it loud!

We can't drive it on the road though, so Richard and I had to pretend in the showroom. Brrrm brrrmmmmm...

It was this afternoon in Southbank, he was darting around behind me taking to the tram tracks like he was going to blast past me. :) I outfoxed him with the lights as i gated it through the yellow...as soon as i saw he didnt follow i cursed myself for not sticking with him :)

And i really hope the CCR is "take me in the kitchen and suck my dick" special :P My hopes are oh so high for it

Hehe - I shall have a word with Rob in the morning :)

I spoke to him this afternoon to arrange collection, and he was saying he had a hard time getting time in the car - as I dropped it off on Friday to his wife and she loved it and didn't want to give it back!

God, if you read this - we need more like her please.

Aaaah, didn't know you guys had acquired it... makes my comments on AE a little outdated. :)

So is that the token CCR in the country? The one that the Sydney fella wanted huge money for....or has another come in the past 5 months or so?

I wonder if the GT3 driver saw the "P1, cant join em, then beat em" sticker in the window...hence the tail gating. Or maybe it was the token drive he got all weekend :)

..i will add. That white GT3 is a gorgeous car. Im not sure whether i would take it or the silver and orange 997 GT3RS i see around the traps on my runs ???? Hmmm :)

Yep - it's the black CCR.

Yep - it's in our new Sydney showroom.

Yep - Richard has the keys.

And have I mentioned that it's loud?

As far as us acquiring it... well, I wouldn't go editing posts just yet Ash.

I don't know who the current owner is, but I know who it isn't. And it's still for sale for $800+

Pix below...

TB : Haha - I forgot about those stickers! Does the Bullet still have the Juz-spec sticker upgrades on it?

The white GT3 does look awesome. It's the new black you know...

BTW, I have a black RS in the shop at the moment (display only) - why don't you pop in tomorrow and say hi?

Juz spec came off last weekend. :) So did some of the paint :)

Getting a few quotes this week for a re-spray. Want it to look mint for F1 and its new life as a street car :P

...i will have a sleepless night thinking about the CCR. Looking at the colour and roofless stance. I think you will need an Adam West mask when driving :)

Senf*ckingsational. I don't understand why the few supercars which are actually registrable on Aussie roads just don't get any sales! There's so many $600-800k cars on the road nowadays, why at least a few haven't stumped up for something truly unique like a Kegg or Zonda is beyond me.

Well, when I spent time researching it last year it seemed likely that it would never see light of day.

Someone posted this pic of it out on some neighbourhood street last year.

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
