Apollo Altitude XC - comes standard with dimpled rotors, fully sick gear box, leather seats, damper adjustable shocks etc etc and was recently modified with halogen headlights, little gizmo thing similar to an Apexi RSM, nice chunky piece of a security system and water cooling system.

In light of the amount of cars being stolen, can I suggest blanking No. plates and being careful about talking about home suburbs.

Where you have a daily you probably have a loved one (skyline,etc).

By the way, love the wagon.

Sorry to sound a bit anal, but had some INTERESTING pm in regards to the car I have for sale.

yeah i agree blank those plates guys. i dont wanna post my pics cause the thing sticks out too much and gets parked out the front all the time.

i call it oldzilla ammunst many other stupid names as its an oldschool dato with a inline6 2.6L just needs another cam and twin turbo and she'll be sweet :wave:

many a time people question why i still drive it as its pretty f'd but the thing never dies (despite 5 years of thrasing, it was my first car) and i can leave it anywhere a not have to worry about a thing. also good for getting airbourne over train tracks and driving over curbs n kids and freaking people out with the electrics (dont think many people realize upper model cars had it back in the 70s)

my daily owns all your dailys!

Bought several years ago for 300 bucks, already had t bone damage and left hand rear 1/4 damage... during the time ive had it the bonnet latch failed while gf was driving it and bonnet flew up on the freeway... timing belt snapped as it still had the ORIGINAL belt and has 350k+ kms new belt was 7 bucks and took me several hours to do... When i bought the car off the girl who crashed it several times.. it hadnt been serviced in 5 years lol... so i changed the plugs, oil and filter, that was it... now every time i do a service on the 32 i use the oil from that and chuck it into the rolla :D

best part is.... as shitty as it looks... the Air con, the heater, P/S, brakes and everything are bloody awesome, starts first crank every time and cost me 15 bucks a week in fuel to get around hahahaha

front guards may or maynot have been damaged by drunken fly kicks from me and mates

    • 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"
