just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

What about drifting them? :P Last time I was there I was chucking it into the corner just after the straight as quick as I could and sliding the whole thing as it tightened up :(

Giving the brakes a huge stab coming into the corner after the back straight is a bit of fun too :D

Yeah I can imagine that'd be grounds for a talking to :P

It was only 2 karts on the track when I was doing so even if I lost all momentum (which is often in the slow Kart Mania rigs) then it wasn't a big deal :D I was just trying to get angles :(

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

yeah ive been there older than that youngsta :( do they still have the big bouncy thing? it used to be a lil diff with a harder top making it better for getting crazy air

and yes dont bother with their go karts

spose its a good thing i was planning on pulling my engine out sometime soon. went down to the local bp to fill up, walking back to the 200 i noticed something dripping, so popped the hood, had a poke around, seem to be weeping coolant from around the turbo.

also had some old codger mumble to me (with my head in the engine bay) on his way past; "stupid hoons, hope your cars broken". :( stupid old codger doesnt even know me...

doesnt seem like much of a big deal though, just need to keep a couple litres of demineralised water in the car just in case.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

A what?! http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4727

pantera with a bodykit. would love a pantera, but the 'devil' seems a bit silly, really.

Love the Cosmo: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4719

much love for the cosmo. but daily fuel consumption to rival a C-17 globemaster on take off puts me off a little.

Did you hav ethe aircon on while you were going to the servo? If you did i think i know where the water was comming from.

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

was going to buy a cosmo prior to the stagea

but couldnt even get behind the wheel - made for small people

tune tomorrow, just a quick little one. cant afford anything atm, bills to pay but no money

so, probably just an hour on the dyno mapping 2nd and 3rd gears, for air:fuel ratios and slight fuel/timing adjustments

got a set of 3-guages to go into a din slot, and the injector setup but no moolah to pay for install, yet

anyone interested in ecu eprom tunes?

eventually want to get a wideband sensor, rom tuner and muck around with mine, learn etc, then offer a service to remap r33's on a local dyno?

theyre pretty awesome... if you happen to own a petrol refinery. if you dont, well, youre screwed.

yeah, the fastest car I've been in was a Turbo rotary with 320rwkw. Awesome engines if you don't break apex seals!

i seriously think a decent 20B on idle would go toe-to-toe with a C17 on fuel consumption. ive driven a cosmo with a full exhaust, front mount, couple more pounds of boost, and i could see the fuel gauge dropping in peak traffic. its f**king crazy.

    • 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"
