Gents,

I will be tackling the Reefton Spur (168 bends in 18km!) followed by the Black Spur this Sunday (2 October 2011) in my new V35 coupe for some 'spirited' driving. Aiming to start around 6:30 to 7am to avoid the traffic.

More than happy for any V35s to come along for the drive.

ChrisB, NissanRules, Alphamox? Any takers? We haven't had a cruise in ages!

Anyone keen on some spirited driving this coming Sunday morning ( 6 Nov)?

Just got new tyres fitted (Hankook S1 Evos) and keen to test them out.

Location?

Anyways, I wanna go for cruise down Beach Road and around St Kilda Beach tomorrow, anyone keen for a mini meet up?

Sorry, would love to but can't do Saturday (have to take the family to the beach).

As for location on Sunday, will probably be Warrandyte - Christmas Hills - either Toolangi Spur or Black Spur.

At this stage, at least 2 members of the Z club are keen as well.

Hello guys,

Just to let you know for all you guys in Victoria that tomorrow night, there will be a skyline meet at Pines Shopping Centre in Doncaster. For more information, goto the Victoria/Events section and enter the thread called "Apple Peel Comeback". I will be going tomorrow in my V35 sedan/maxima if all is well and hope that other V35's will tag along. It seems that I'm the only V35/V36 owner interested in this cruise at the moment so it will be good to see others out there to rally support :). It will be also good to catch up with the members who were in our last meet up to Dandenong and to Chris' place for a BBQ. Pm me or show an interest to the cruise in the thread.

Hello guys,

8igSky and I joined the Z-Club for their annual X-mas cruise last Sunday up to Mt Macedon and it was a blast. Total of 14 Zs, 2 V35s and 2 R35 GT-Rs were roaring up the Calder Freeway!

Seeing as the end of the year is coming and the weather is getting better, can't help but think that its time for the Vs in our midst to meet up for a chat and a cruise.

At this stage, the details are:

Date: Either Sat 17 Dec or Sun 18 Dec

Cruise Meet location: TBC - Depends on Cruise destination

Cruise times: 10am arrival. 10:30am departure.

Proposed cruise route details: TBC. Either Mt Dandy, the Spurs or Mt Donna Buang or perhaps all of the above!. PLEASE PM ME WITH ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.

Let me know if you guys are keen

Thanks!

Guys,

Thanks for all your responses. Looks like Sat 17th is looking to be the better date.

Hopefully we will get a few more oks in the next couple of days. Pls pass on the word to any fellow V35 owners that you know.

BTW, I've noted that GTCC is also organising a cruise to Mt Donna Buang on the following Sun 18th. (See the Vic Events section). Haven't been to a GTCC cruise before but I understand that it is for all car types.

If our V35 numbers are, say below five, one alternative is to tag along with them to make up the cruise numbers while still exchanging notes on our V35s. Or I'm equally happy if we do our own V35 meet on Saturday. Any thoughts? Interfooler/Dreadnought - Can you do the 18th as a alternative?

Cheers!

Heard about the GTCC one. Was thinking of attending that one (depending on my mate)

Again Push comes to shove, I'm able to do the 17th as well just need to depend on the time you wish to have a v35 one.

Only really have a house warming to attend, but not 100% confirmed.

If numbers are low on the 17th? can always have a drive to garage cafe? etc?

18th shouldn't be a problem for me and don't mind joining the GTCC guys.

Cool!

Thanks Mayo_85

Gkzlah, if you can make it on Sat 17th, we will have five cars.

Weather report shows it being cloudy with chance of rain in the arvo so I reckon we should make an early start.

Updated details below:

Date: Sat 17 Dec

Cruise Meet location: McDonalds - Corner of Springvale Road and Whitehorse Road

Cruise times: 8:30am arrival. 9:00am departure. (Mayo_85, hopefully not too early for you? Traffic will start to build up if we leave too late).

Proposed cruise route details: The Black Spur!

Guys,

The latest update to the weather report shows that Saturday will be rain free.

Cars attending so far:

1) Thinktea

2) Interfooler

3) Mayo_85

4) Gkzlah

5) Dreadnought

I will be meeting up with some of the z-club members tomorrow night and unless you have any objections, I will extend the invitation for any Zs or R35s to join us if they are keen.

Other Melbourne V35 owners reading this, put your name down and join us for some fun on Sat morning!

Nice one Think, thanks for organizing. If you're meeting the Z club on Friday I'd be pretty keen for that, too.

In terms of the 17th, getting up that early on a Saturday would probably kill a weaker man, but I will break my rules and set a weekend alarm :P

Allegedly I have a potential buyer looking at a car I'm selling around lunch time, but I'll wait and see if they confirm.

    • 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"
