Most of what i've seen here isnt dumb. Its all good go fast shit. Dumbest thing i have seen is the guy advertising the 34 with a fully sic ulleh sr 20 in the bay. WTF!

should read:

it's all good and looks like it could and should (but doesn't) go fast shit.

His daily driver is an E46 M3.

He has more money then sense, nice guy. Weird conversion for an R34 though.

what the hell is wrong with some of u guys. fmic's on mercedies...oh no :P

it is called progress, if no one pushed the boudaries, no one would develop new concepts.

i remember ages ago a silvia with a rb26dett was considered 'crazy' now it is the norm.

really are u angry at these concepts?!?!?

I love good new concepts.. I was just questioning the sanity of somebody who grabs a late model merc and cuts it up.

My point was simply that some mods go hand in hand.. like a WRX motor in a combi.. both have boxer engines.. similar sizes, just that the WRX motor is much more refined and is actually reliable.. the rotor is just a weird choice.. but still a much better choice than the stock junker!

so take that approach, y cut up a new merc? sure pimp the fat VIP ride out. bling the butt off it. 20" rims, black tint is cool.. but,

I fail to see how fat VIP cars with a massive shiny FMIC is progress!!

Totally trashed the whole look. couldn't he fit a water/air cooler in it?

So if you wonna pay big bucks for a merc and cut it up to fit the FMIC.. go for it. U better hope that somebody else thinks its a cool idea when u try and sell it! That isn't progress.

Progress would be fitting the water/air cooler, or a side mount supercharger. a total stealth look, nobody would know you have messed with the car.. Keep the super lux VIP image.. just u added some horsepower.

otherwise it just looks like a lame boy-racer attacked it.

lol.... at using a shitty chassis liek the GTT lol..

no it was a built engine and apparently the car is more nimble better balanced and more fun..

WHY IS THAT..

probly blew the RB and couldnt afford anything better than the SR lol

no he had a built SR for his sil that he sold.

No Mark, He had the motor built for the Silvia (04FAT) WHICH HE still ownes I might add. It was a good idea at the time, as he already has a built SR20 and teh conversion hasnt been done around here. He doesn't like the car that much and wished he just built an rb for the GTT now.

04FAT which now has a pretty basic SR20 is still for sale.

can u fit a bent 8 into an s2000? Now that would be cool.. and the little bugger would actually go,

instead of making heaps of noise! lol. then add boost!

I saw a proto-type V8 (i think was a ducatti)a few years back. It was 1000cc, varable intake manifold the works.. reved to 11000rpm or higher.. I always thought that would transplant into a suzuki mity boy really well!

Thats different!

V8 mini's take the cake

Do a youtube search on "V8 mini" and see what the nut bags do with em...

Some are really tough race cars and you would not want to take them on, others are major bodge jobs and you would not want to be near them at all...

ORLY! Like hes going to tell you its shit when hes trying to sell it. :rofl:

    • 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"
