exstatic: its unpainted carbon fibre with a high gloss finish...

I *may* paint it down the track.

Not for quite a while though.... I reckon on any colour other than white you'd want it to match..... looks awesome on a white car

Hey By BY,

Are the pics on UAS website for the carbon fibre bonnet of your car? If not they have exactly the same car setup as you dude!!! Awesome bonnet, thinking about it for my car (though not sure if carbon on blue would look as good as white).

UAS have it for around $980 from memory...

haha i see i got a mention on Page 100 with the write up of the drifting in adelaide with the Angry sounding AE86, red rx7 and 180sx :)

guess who the rx7 was lolol

not a bad issue this one... i was interested in their turbo build up for the R33... they didnt acctually say which bearing they used, im assuming its a bush bearing on the rebuild.. but that doesnt seem to justify their high price

:(:P:p:p

25gtt

yea just doing some boozin

na but really you look at a s70 iced volvo and a 2 door dunnydore and the thing r identical its crazy man

also word on the drunken pool table says that the s70 was developed by walkensure(spelling) hrt guy

volvo bought the basic design for the car for a sum of money(11MIL PER MODEL)

the same basic design was then used for the dunnydore designe

have a look at the two together and then listen to the story.. made sence to me after 5 beers but hey dont let the true t=get in the way of a good yarn.

now s70 is front drive turbo car but you can have many diffrent dengin configurations on a set design

so anyway my story will be proven when holden bring out the munro convertable and it has the same foor mechanism as the s 70 convertable

so basically im saying dunny dore is a porlly made iced volvo

some day i will write a book an they shall call me pete nostradamouse fatz

pete

no more action??...ever??? :)

hahaha ok you're not pov :)

your car is the sexiest looking chequerboard I have EVER seen *digs herself in deeper* LOL!! just jokes Nick you know I think it looks SEXY :uh-huh:

Well, I went out and bought this issue (after a four year hiatus) on the reconmendations of this thread. I didn't hold much hope for this type of magazine, all I expected was a half decent article on R33 turbo upgrades - they couldn't even provide that much.

About "NGH", the white R33 from Perth,

vinyl carbon fibre-look...

Power FC and S-AFC...

Think he knows how to spell R-I-C-E?

A couple of classic quotes from the owner:

"I got ten times the attention out on the road once the graphics were on," he relishes, "especially from school kids, who were always yelling out their compliments."

and

"I wanted mine to have a 'fast and furious' style about it"

I feel embarrased for this guy.

The only sign of improvement in this magazine, is that they've stopped draping models over cars (a poor excuse to keep things on topic) and given them a page of they're own.

With any luck, it'll be at least another four years before I open the pages of this type of magazine again.

Love the shallow comments there gradenko...... everyone prefers there own style.... who really cares if he likes the whole "fast and furious theme"

Face facts.... many people like there car to look the part before working the engine.....unfortunately there will always be people like you out there that are critical of anything that is aestheically orientated...

its a real shame you wasted your $6.95

/end of speil

BY BY, it wasn't intended as a personal hit to you. I understand you like the theme he has chosen, and indeed, minus the stickers it would look the part. I must congratulate you on using an authentic CF bonnet, that fact alone separates you from common attention seekers like our friend here.

As far as being shallow, I believe his "looks from school kids" comment is far more shallow than anything I've said (or ever will say).

And yes, it is a shame I wasted my $6.95.

Maybe the guy likes schoolgirls :lol: - PS it wasnt taken as a personal hit by me, as u werent referring to me.Also, as has been said before that car was (its not been sold) actually a very well presented car, comments aside it built as the owner saw fit......frankly good on him

Sure the comments arent the sort you would hear myself or others say but i reckon the majority of the guys on here think the car was well done.

If you dont like certain cars thats cool. Dont waltz around a skyline enthusists forum making statements like u did.

/peace

PS: are you sure your not just jealous that "schoolkids" dont check you out as you drive past

:uh-huh:

/out

Well, those comments are my opinion and I think this forum is fairly open to ppl expressing them. What I typed is better than what I'm thinking in RealLife - that would be closer to defamation, and not fit to print.

In any case, who doesn't like schoolgirls :D:

I think the EDITOR of Fast Fours didn't do his job correctly here by printing that he had a Power FC and SAFC, I mean do they think that the readers of these mags are stupid or something. He should've questioned the owner on the matter as it makes his mag look stupid, is it even possible to run the two Apexi units together?

    • 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"
    • 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.
