Hey guys, I've been down to a few fun days at Winton now, can't ask for a better day for $25. I'm definatly heading down on Saturday. I'm coming from Albury Wodonga. The BMW that was mentioned at the start of this topic is from Albury, and he will be down there again on Saturday if anyone wants to have a look. Very nice car. Also keep your eyes out for a yellow s/c commodore it's very quick. I will have my white R33 Gtst on the track, feel free to say gday, always up for a chat.

Hope to see you all there. The more Skylines the better, I love coming up against them at the fun days.

Cheers,

Brendan.

I remember that commodore. VN or VP I think. It was 1 of like 3 cars that passed me last time I went. I tried to keep with it but it's got some serious power and good brake package if I remember correctly. See ya there Brendan

Just an update on that BMW, probably won't be there on the week end as he snapped the crank shaft in it at his last track day. He has a new engine on the way though, so maybe next time. There is a slight chance it will be down there but I doubt it.

With the commodore, it's a VP and yes I know that feeling you get as it passes you on the track too.

I just fitted new front pads and a Hicas lock bar in the back, looking forward to seeing the difference the lock bar makes on the track.

Catch you there,

Brendan,

BTW. I'm a GTR virgin on the track so if anyone feels like giving me a ride.... well if I get out of my car that is.

The commo aint that quick...sorry to dissappoint...

December last year i attended in a 180sx, minimal interior, primer with red bonnet and guards, white wheels, white front bar lol.

Was running 180kw, BB IHI, v-mount, z32 front brakes, isc coilovers, and street tyres...he couldnt catch me?

I don't mind getting passed by a commodore. Good to see one well set up.

I'm ready to go now. Swapped some tyres around so I've got RE55 fronts and Toyo R888 rears. Will be interesting to see how the toyo's go coz I had RE55's at sandown but they're dead now. Only thing is the car keeps getting a flat battery. It sit's for too long between events. Anyone taking jumper leads? Mine have melted and haven't bought new ones yet.

lap times are a good way to judge..

russ, i want to see what times you get at winton! im very tempted to come up there...

Yeah man. Come up. Fun/cheap day on sat and times on sunday!

What is a good RWD time for winton? What should I aim for?

i can throw some jump leads in russ. Im lookin forward to this! got a feeling its gunna be a top day! weather lookin good too!

Thanks for that Brett. I'm charging it up over this week so hopefully it recovers so we don't need to use them.

If i come up it would only be for saturday... Bris did a 36 but had to pass a ferrari on the outside at dutton and ive done a 39. cant rmember any of the other rwds. i think newton did a 39 also in Juz's car.

are you staying up there friday night?

Dion.

What a top weekend Saturday was so busy. There was at least 200+ cars, traffic so heavy out on the track it was stopped going round one of the corners at one stage. But like most fun days the arvo ended being much quieter allowing for plenty of free track time.

The sprints today were great fun first time i've done them. The weather was a bit dodgy today raining a bit in the morning ended up with a 1.46 lap time on street tyres. My lack of talent managed to get the 'Near Miss Award" for my moment coming on to the main straight that eventually came to a gentle halt against the v8's pit wall.

Russman you certainly set some good times in the gts-t and Femno was very quick on street rubber as well. Nice to meet you guys hopefully you'll be back in September.

    • 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"
