if anyone is keen on a few photos on Sunday, meeting up around 1:00ish, pm me within the next hour for my number. wont be a cruise, just driving to locations for some snaps. i aint no pro either, just getting used to my new SLR.

Any ideas for photo locations? PM'd.

IMO somewhere with some greenery could be cool, before summer turns everything brown again.

was thinking of starting somewhere like mt lofty, but ill let you know.

what a shit past 24 hours ive had !

set off from home yesterday morning at 7am to get a car trailer to go to vic to pick up my white R33,

we got to stirling and there was smoke coming out from under the car, looked to be coming from where the headers join the exhaust so i assumed it had blown an exhaust gasket..

continued up the highway towards tailem bend and it was still smoking but was driving fine, pulled up for some lunch and continued driving.

got to coomandook and jacked the car up in a way side stop , checked the tranmission out and it was roasting. let it cool down for a bit and kept going after checking all the lines to it

ended up getting 10km out of kiki and the car gave up, needed transmission fluid bad!

i remembered when passing kiki there was a garage there so we started the 10km hike back there to see if they had fluid, got there, garage was shut !

luckily a women that lived next to it offered us a lift to the next town which was yumali.

got there and bought 2x 1L ATF top up bottles , the women that gave us a ride told the store owner what had happened and he ended up giving us a lift back to our car thankfully !

got back and started jacking the car up , took one of the lines off for the trans and started bleeding in the ATF, took for ever to do but we got about a good 1 or 2 L in to it , went to try it and nothing

car still wouldnt even move!

let it sit for a good 30 mins and it started to move along so we crept along the highway towards coonalpyn, got into coonalpyn about 4pm and found a mechanics that was open but he couldnt help us,

all he said he could do is sell us some fluid.

ended up buying a 4L bottle of ATF and then bleeded most of it into the trans. didn't do much , got the car moving once again and decided to head back towards adelaide!

ended up getting about 10km out again and bam , nothing at all.

by this time it was 8:40pm , we thought there's no way we can sleep here and there's no way we can get home so we walked back to coonalpyn.

got back there at about 9:40pm and went into the pub , spoke to some of the locals and ended up getting towed back into the town.

at this point we hadn't eaten since breakfast and had pushed the car pretty much 5km with a big car trailer on the back of it , i was f**ked and couldn't give a shit , i needed sleep!

ended up getting a room at the coonalpyn pub and all the bloke wanted for dragging the car into town was a scooner so i bought him a couple of rounds.

decided to hit the hay and work out the car tomorrow.

woke up at 9am and packed our stuff to go back to the car, thought oh yeah might aswell see if the thing will move but nope wouldn't move,

by this stage id spent roughly $80 on fluid and $80 on getting a room , not to mention trailer hire and fuel costs.

my mum ended up calling so i got her to check my netbank to see how much i had left , had about $300 which was good to hear , rang a tow truck company in tailem bend and they said $500 to get back to my house with the trailer,

i said yep great let me get $200 together and ill call you back, my dad rang his sister in melbourne and she transferred $200 into his account and rang the tow truck, after about 1 hour he showed up, boy was i glad to see him !

loaded the car up and hooked the trailer on the back and started the journey back to adelaide, at this point i was tired, sore, sunburnt and broke , i really couldnt give a shit what had to be done , just take me home!

ended up getting back home about 1 hour ago

f**k im glad im home now , im wrecked , not just physically :P

oh and our phones are disconnected so we couldn't make calls !

all of this head f**k to get my other car

FML !

side skirts are finally fitted. :P

core itself doesnt make any difference.

but with the plate and relo block, they should have little arrows (or simply, "in" and "out") on the ports.

on mine its the outside port on the block adaptor linked to the outside port on the relo block, then the inside port of that feeds the oil cooler core, then the coil cooler feeds the inside port of the block on the engine.

ok on the left is my plate that sits against the block, on the right thr relocation plate.

now u can see the two holes on each which go through to the hoses..

which is in and out?

there are no labels on them at all..

all i can tell you is how mine was setup. if you get what im saying there. if not, and youre at the dinner tonight, ill show you what i mean.

I would say that if you are that financially strained that you should get your priorities right and not buy cars... true i know hardly anything about your situation but yeah.

i've already made up my mind mate , im over this for now

going to move on soon

Put my first ever mark on the line, I cried.

i did the same thing the 1st time i drove my car when i got back from thailand.... i drove it into the shelves in my shed at about 1/4kph, put a tiny scratch on the front bar :P

Mitch, I gotta say to continue driving up a highway with smoke coming from under the car is a completely stupid idea, and it was destoned for fail... Smoke coming from an exhaust join? If you can see actual smoke coming out of an exhaust unless your gassing it etc you would think *something is burning*? It is unlucky, but a bit more common sense would tell you to head back as soon as sh!t started going down hill.

well to begin with i wasnt actually driving my dad was , and secondly go read the full story on my facebook because i cant be effed reposting it.

Nice R Jarred but you do realise that when you own an import you are forbidden to park any closer than 30cm to the curb so you never risk scratching your rims.

I will forgive this 1st offence but please be mindful of your proximity next time you park your car.

    • 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"
