Thanks guys!

I have pics but only from the importer, id rather post my own once i get her, so dont worry i will ASAP!

Already ordered one of those rear strut brace from Jin Man, and trying to figure out what wheels im getting too.

Have to go see my mechanic and start talking about the money im going to have to spend on her....

Well from what i've been told, it should only be 4-5 down at the docks and then straight to compliance, the biggest thing to delay it at the docks is really

the steam cleaning....i've got a mate who imports cars and he has two cars of his own on the same ship as mine and is expecting receivership of those

early next week....time will tell.

okay well after a little bit of stuffing around, i finally got her towed home to my place last night, and my

god, what a beautiful car! such a nice ride and everything is fantastic. Though the car could do with a bit

of a buff and polish. But i am stoked can't wait to have rego done, a mate is doing it for me so i dont have

to deal with that "random" check n wait a month n stuff. Will post pics once i get a bit of time. Oh and for

anyone on here who is a bit switched on with electrics n things, wonder if they can help me out here?

I put a new battery in, as the one the car came with was totally dead. Now the stereo n headlights and

everything else works great, EXCEPT the car wont start. I can clutch start it no worries, but cant start with

the key. When i turn the key there is nothing, no noise or anything, i think my mate said not even any clicking

or noise from the solenoid for the starter motor? any ideas?

But would be a good chance to see a few other nice cars n to show off my new pride and joy :(

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
