Can someone tell me if it is or isnt the long weekend. Just trying to plan our engagment party around SAS. Sad i know. :nyaanyaa:

Random question: Is there any other GTR's other than ours?

ummm...... yes......*

most likely... don't wanna get shot if your alone!

So, I'm sticking my hand up to organize the hotel stay for the weekend.

All those years entering with various clubs in my native Melbourne, Autosalon was never about taking home trophies, it was about having safe CBD parking and getting shit faced with promo gangers from the show night after night.

Any takers?

Actually I really hope I have the car ready for this as I'm pretty sure it'd be what you guys want. Probably won't have the new engine done by then but hopefully all the cosmetics will be sorted and it'll look like a really mean street/track car

OoOOoooOO i didnt realise it was at fox studios.. thought it was at homebush again!..

ok yeah.. hotel room would be good matt

If enough people are up for this, no shit i would be too... But I swear to god, I'm not ending up like last time... I actually begged a mate for a lift home at like 1PM... I left him my keys and just hoped for the best :no:

Turned out well...

Anyway... rooms... info... booze... women... These are all important points that must be addressed...

yeah i'll bring mine down...

Means ive got a short time frame for my lil mods list

Need somewhere to shack up otherwise im camping in the wagon. Need a buddy pass too.

Be an individual for once in your lives...

I think I will be taking the forms again, I'm not sure if Paul has a fax machine... and deposit the money into the SAU bank account... please put as much info on there as possible, SAU username, what event it is for etc... it's hard to keep track sometimes... and please write in the thread when you have deposited the money too :)

ok, big update to be made tomorrow, in the mean time, i need everybody's phone numbers.

Whether you choose to message or call me or PM me, it is your choice.

There are a few things i need to mention to everyone that is 110% all in for June's show.

My number is 0403 954 613.

Becareful as i rarely answer private numbers - so if you wish, leave a message and i'll get back to you.

ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS THAT I HAVE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENTER THIS SHOW!!

Nah, you would be surprised how many people we either have fall out or something like that... We had I think 3 paid entrants have to pull out... that was 2 weeks before the show I think... we still have over 2 months :)

Plans change, shit happens... no need to worry about us having a massive display yet :yes:

Just a note to all intending of being part of our display, although this seams off-putting,

ONCE THE MONEY HAS BEEN SENT IN BULK TO AUTOSALON - IF YOU PULL OUT IT WILL BE YOUR LOSS AS THE MONEY CANNOT BE REFUNDED.

I thought that was rather important!

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
