Hey Richard, long time no see. how you been?

It sure was you, Jayce and Goran in the GT-R's (Jon, supafly, and chris in the gts-t's)

It was truly a spectacular entrance and my mates and dates had a ball on the trip out, definantly talked about for a while. Skyline convoy is always a good option :P you would already have three organised :D

last time i do anything for you!

Well its that time... Becs formal is on Wednesday (3rd Dec) and she has decided to go with my GTR. She isn't allowed to take a guy from another school (school rules not mine) and she isn't attracted to any of the guys at her school so she is going solo.

I was wondering if anyone wants to make it a little more special for her and join us to help make a little Skyline convoy. It won't take up much of your time because its not far from home here and its only dropping her at the church beside Trinity Christian School at Wanniassa. We could then go somewhere afterwards if you'd like... a mini cruise, drinks, eats, coffees, catch up.

The only catch is that she needs to be at the church by 5pm - I know its a big ask being so early, but it won't take long and will be fun to catch up after.

All models welcome.

Anyone interested?

:woot:

That was the next year, and that was pretty awesome :)

I would be but I work till 7 :)

Thanks Guys

We're talking this Wednesday 3rd Dec... if you can make it, meet at my place at 4:30 and we can drive via Tuggeranong Town Centre (exciting I know LOL, other suggestions welcome) there won't be many of us, but it will make it a little more interesting.

Thats okay Paul, we'd love to have you come along if you change your mind, its no passengers, so not your "normal" formal run, more like arriving with a mini (ok very mini) convoy to make it a little more interesting.

Guys its really up to you, if you're not here when we leave, we'll understand, no pressure at all. But if you can make it, Bec (and us) will really appreciate it. She's a good kid and the school nearly didn't allow them to have a formal (strange school).

PM me if you don't have my address already. Thanks again :P

Yep, just a drive in, stop and photos as said and drive off. After the last 2 formals my mates daughter just went to, I would refrain from any mischief type behaviour... There has been police in both marked and unmarked at all of them.

The Eddies one that was at Rydges Lakeside ended up funneling all the traffic to the back of the hotel straight into awaiting police.

I just washed the car on the weekend and would like to help out Michele but as with the rest of the guys, I can't finish work early enough.

    • 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"
