Hi all...

I looked for a newbies section but to no avail. (im prob just blind)

Anywho, i dont own a skyline. But thought i'd register as i came along to a SAU cruise the other night...

I was driving Carly's 33..

thought i'd just post up a few pics...

Also, matey with the yellow 34 with 20s (vish??), i remember something about a turbo FTO??? got any links to him on here??? Wanna see those pics!

Oh btw, i own an fto... Dont be mean to my car and i'll be nice to skylines... Agreed? nice...

oh and before anyone takes the first pot shot... I hate FWD too... but we all must sacrifice something to own a car we;re passionate about...

Anywho... heres a few pics off my phone.

And as i said.. theres a fair few FTO club members on here already as most of our members have owned skylines/ some sort of nissan turbo before buying their fto.

Too much power?? pfft... like 100-110kw atw for a top of the range GPX/GPvR.. and 1080kg or somethin... Pretty easily outrun by any turbo. i think only a 15.4sec qtr in standard form..

But yeh... too much traction is right... in standard form they just cant lose traction...

Tho mine has a few little mods which help loose some rubber... hehehe... still FWD tho >_<

Thanks man... Yeh im yet to see what this little 2L gets when i get it back on the dyno at the end of the month...

but went from 100kw atw n/a to 150kw on 5psi... new engine rated to 26psi but my little GT28 will prob max out around 18... will see how the power figures turn out... but yeh.. i was getting full boost around 3,100... but everything changes when you rebuild another engine for it..

Definately up for coming on a cruise... Skylines are my arch nemisis... hehehe... so they are what inspired me to turbo my car.. was sick of being beaten.. but the fto was too good a car to sell... so i bit the bullet and gave the tuner/mechanic my bank account.. :(

Will see you out there hopefully

Welcome Sam! Nice to have met you the other night at the coffee meet.

Heheh, my first car was a mitsu, although not quite as flash as an FTO... lol. Then i saw the light and bought a Nissan and have owned Nissans ever since heheh... Great to see something different though!

Are you mates with Sammi??? She's got an FTO. MSF70 i think her plates are...

You'll definately have to bring it out cruising one night!

Hey teena.. Was great to meet you too... Sorry i only got one pic... but we had to go...

Some very nice skylines there...

Will be good to go for a run with you guys... FTO club is awesome but everyone is N/a.. so pointless comparing mods...

So long as no-one plays pick on the Mitsi... (Im allowed to pick on skylines cuz im out numbered... lol)

And yeh im good friends with sammi (and almost anyone with an FTO in qld)

    • 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"
