What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Cheers

I own a Stagea, which is basically a Skyline chassis with a wagon shell. Would this rule me (and other Stagea owners) out?

At this stage I'm going to have keep it to Skyline's and Supra's only, but I will be reassing this in about two weeks if I can't achieve the 40 car limit. I have a lot of interest with Toyota owners that have dropped in a 2JZ GTE into their car's and I'm thinking of maybe opening it up to hybrids.

I'll have a definite answer in a round two weeks.

Thank you to everyone that have shown some interest to date. This Skyline group could consist of NSW owners at this stage as a lot of the ACT Skyline owners are umming and urring along with the NSW Supra owners.......

Cheers

hahahahaha yeah the NSW supra club owners are a bunch of pussies they love their supras and covet them like they are the best car on the road but they are too scared to take them on the track and give them a real hit.... (except for the odd few that havethe guts) i have been to several supra NSW club cruises when one of my mates owned a supra and i was the only skyline along for the ride of course i was generally waiting for them up the road a bit cuz they dont like to give it a squirt lolz....... anyways thats my little rant done and its a bit off topic i might say....... SORRY *SHRUGS* im very interested but not 100% just yet as i need to get the car tuned before any hard running

Haha you better get your car tuned then and show those pussy supra drivers how its done, otherwise it will be, look who's talking! :rolleyes:

I really need to see if we can achieve the numbers first before I lock in a date. I need 20 skylines and 20 Supra's at this stage and from what I can see we're around 10 down on each model if I try to keep it to ACT & NSW owners.

I will have a definite answer for everyone in around 2 weeks, say the 2nd week in September.

hahahaha wont be a matter of look who's talking champ..... i got defected last sunday and have to get everything in my engine bay engineered so there goes all the money i have saved up to buy my aftermarket ecu....... otherwise i would have said straight up that i was in like flynn and be showing a few supra club owners what my baby is made of lolz may not keep up with some of the more modified TT 2JZGTE models but like i said the majority of the ppl i have met on there dont like giving their 3 litre babies a good squirt hehehe....... but im more than happy to have my ass handed to me by a supra i got nothin to prove just wana have some fun but to do that i need the car to be running right and not dogging out when i put the boot into it lolz... as i said i will know more closer to the date and will post up whether i will be in attendance but confirmation of a date would be very helpful so i will know if im actually available or not hahaha

I think opening it up to hybrids would be really good. It could it be a 'RB v JZ' event instead of 'Skyline v Supra' to achieve the numbers needed. There are heaps of hybrids out there.

Since when is a street cruise a race? If you came out on most of the SAU cruises you'd see that people generally dont give their skylines "a real hit" during a skyline cruise either!! It's that sort of behaviour that gets car clubs cruises blacklisted by the cops..

Agreed though if Supra NSW dont get any/many local entrants then that's a pretty poor effort!

There's a lot of talk re: the NSW Supra owner's and how there is a lack of interest. Don't forget that the ACT Skyline owners are also showing very little interest in this event as well.

If someone says that there aren't many Skyline's in the ACT then how many Supra's do you think are down here?? :-p

Guys/Gals

I've decided to postpone this event until next year. I'm well over my head and luckily I have had some members offer to assist me with this event but there is too much involved to have something like this go ahead this year.

A new thread with an expected or firmer date will be posted sometime in the near future.

Thanks to everyone that provided input, it has been very useful and are being considered for when this event takes off next year.

Thanks again

Ross

    • 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"
