Yeah I saw that Michael... I think I have a photo or two there also for you...

Was sounding insane when you did the burnout... Flames popping out like a jack in the box... :worship:

oh awesome. please post!

:)

yeah, it revs out really quick and I kept getting caught on the limiter... ! oops.

made 330kw atw, but dunno about the numbers given semis and camber on the dyno. the times good so I'm happy. :)

Wanted to go to the drag day but was rostered to work :D. Will definately run mine this year coming.

Cool, just be aware their changing their rules about helmets...

They now require some different level of Australian Standards fron the 1st of Jan...

Most of us got pulled up about it on Saturday afternoon...

Its sucks too cause the helmet I took is a $1000 lid I bought for my bike only 6 months ago and its going to be useless at the drag from now on... :D

Yeah I copped the same crap from one of them, But I cracked the shits and said how can a 3 month old $700 shoei not pass your rules... When i said that she said, oh if its a shoei it should have some snell rating or something (no idea what that is lol) which it has.... so it's fine to use at the drags :D :D

There are other certifications your helmet can have that are only found beneath the inner lining of your helmet. Look there and see if they apply. Also, bike specific helmets are made differently to car helmets.

I heard the same crap last time at willowbank....my brand new Shoei X11 worth $1100 is good enough for Chris Vermulan on a bike at 300kph but not good enough in a 12 sec car according to Willowbank staff...what a load of bullshit :P It was ok for the numnuts in his 12 sec Commy to wear Dunlop Volleys as race shoes on the same day. They didnt say boo to him but I got picked up on my helmet.

Back on topic...Mark at Godzilla is the best...the only guy to see

Back on topic...Mark at Godzilla is the best...the only guy to see

:P I was just thinking while reading your post that maybe we should get back to the topic at hand soon...

Yeah we finished off my LS2 edit today, we had nice gains through the rev range and keep it safe...

She is a bit better off for fuel now also, so the cost of the tune will pay it self back within a month or two...

  • 4 weeks later...

My car just came back from godzilla, have only driven it home so far in the heat and the traffic but it seems to be much much healthier, much stronger and much happier then when it drove in. Some mechanical problems were found on the dyno and fixed there and this may account somewhat for this, but both their mechanical work and their tune seem to be A-grade, the car is running very nicely indeed.

Their easily the most knowledgeable and professional workshop that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, and Mark seems to actually care about his reputation as opposed to some um, other, workshops. Mark takes pride in his work and customer satisfaction seems to defiantly matter to him, so I will certainly be going back there next time I need a workshop. He has implanted a few ideas in my head as to what the next step for my car should be and ill probably start pursuing this.

Only shame is its a 35 min drive from my house, but its quite certainly worth it. He has cars coming from all over the country so in the grand scheme of things I have it much better then some.

A++ in my opinion. You'd be at a loss not to at least check him out if you need work done.

    • 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"
