hmm....another venue then? garage cafe does look ok though...

i am definitely in..regardless of location - keen on meeting u guys...hopefully, i am not the only guy with a v35 sedan on the day....

Hey Rianto, good on you for ringing around to find out at Garage Cafe. You know, just now I've realised why you said I was getting trigger happy a few posts ago, I didn't even realise that I had posted the same post twice until now, hahaha

So how about we meet at Albert Park instead? Around the pits area, there is lots of room there and hassle free parking!!! Are we alright with this or any other suggestions?

Also if you guys still wanna head down to garage cafe after that meet, it's recommended to book prior to that, as if it's more than 8 ppl it's best to book otherwise the limited 15 car space is 1st come 1st serve basis...

Albert Park per the rectangular parking is fine.....what time on Sat 25/7? I'll be there, but must be minimum of 4 forum members or it's not worthwhile for me to drive all the way there....

I'm interested to meet up with you guys too but unable to comfirm till later in the week ... and yes if I'm there you wouldn't be the only sedan :P

Yeah that's right Rianto, the rectangular car park is the one at the pits for the formula 1 when the race is on at Albert Park.

Great, we can meet there at the same time as specified before? 2:30pm!!!!

Time can always be changed so that we can suit as many of us as we can.

So....confirmed on Sat 25/7/09 at 2:30pm Albert Park (Rectangular Section carpar) for:

1. Me - siu_loong_bao

2. MILLOS

3. BenzLe

Maybe's:

1. Nissan_Rules

Updated list below. Definitely worth a go this Saturday.

I don't really have a good camera, just a small Olympus digital camera.

I'm not sure how long we'll stick around for.....we'll just see how it goes, it will be our first try....we will have to do another one so that the guys/girls that cannot come this Saturday because of work or other commitments can make it.

So....confirmed on Sat 25/7/09 at 2:30pm Albert Park (Rectangular Section carpar) for:

1. Me - siu_loong_bao

is this a guys meet or any of your partners coming as well?

... else I'll just drop off wifey in the city for her shopping or something :P

Edited by nissan rules

Mmm I was thinking that myself.

There is not much for them to do there other than admire our cars :P (I don't think they'll be interested in that though) so I was thinking not to bring my partner along.

If you guys will bring your respective partners then I might bring mine also.....Rianto, will you bring your wife and the new bub??? Imagine that, his first skyline meet, only a few days old. :D

    • 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"
