Hey Japav,

You won't be the only Sedan there, Nelso has a sedan also :P

Unfortunately I don't think I'm able to join you guys this time with my sedan as I'll be working sat.

I still have your contact from the first meet Juan, if I finish at 12pm I may give you a call to see to see if it is still worthwhile or possible to join up.

:down:

No worries, see how you go with work!!!

Re-Cap of our meet today:

We started with 4 cars (those who make it on time 10:00am to the car wash)

and we ended up with 4 cars cruising down to Mordialloc for a late lunch.

All up we have 6 cars at the car wash, 2 sedan (white, blue) and 4 coupes (3 silvers yay! and 1 white).

Thank's Juan for providing us with the special VIP car wash treatment, sure are a joy to see those Vs all gleaming and shining...

even turned the head of a green Nur Spec R34 GTR driver that drove past...

We then cruised down to Mordialloc via Lygon St, City, Albert Park & St Kilda and along the coast.

Turned a few heads indeed.

So we're only down 1 compared to last time we had 7 who turned up.... MissV35 where are you? shopping in Myer? :-)

Anyway here are the photos... video coming up I gotta do some editting & authoring as the camcorder records it in HD format's AVCHD or something which can be a pain to get out... Someone did whinge about number plates the last time I posted some photos - so even though we're not doing anything illegal, I've blured/erased the number plates out of these... pm me if you want your photos with your number plates 'intact'.

Post up your photos too if you have them ready... mine's taken with the camcorder so the quality was only 4MP at most...

We're relying on Nelson's & Vincent's whose seem to have the most pro DSLR looking cameras on the day!

EDIT: Youtube actually removes my audio track as it matched a copyrighted content... so I had to replace it with one of Youtube's pre-licensed audio... whatever

Sorry scorp (Sam) and MILLOS (Juan)...I got carried away with installing Juan's SMDs that I didn't take any photos of your cars....:)

Was a bit disappointed with the turnout... MissV35 - you've lost my respect for u!!! :huh:

Quote of the day was from Japav - "The petrol station attendant asked me if my car was the new Maxima"...LOL

Dare of the day was from scorp - "I'd pay $1,000 to whoever can 'steal' me pw350gt's VOLK rims"...LOL

Most remembered person of the day was BenzLe (Benny). Although he didn't turn up this time, we were still talking about his swapped interior...LOL

    • 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"
