some advice

- how is the event advertised?

- has it been offered to other car clubs?

- if you arent on the forums how would u know about this event?

- are there any incentives for previous guys who attended the last texikhana - ie : discount etc?

- have you got any sponsors to help cover costs?

- be careful and ensure posts come across as constructive and not immature - i can see heaps of silly posts in this thread, which likely place doubt and 'uncertainty' for those considering the event

- what documentation / information is available for those who might be interested in attending?

hi guys!

i was an early interest-expressor; and had a ball at the last one. BUT

haven't driven the car for 2 months after some problems. i am about to fire up the motor which should be fine but i am still uncertain about the gearbox... anyway i havent paid because i dont know if i can get there yet obviously. I will hopefully be able to confirm on or before friday to make it easier for you, but if i get home and its dark i cant do much basically.

hope to see you all there for another great event!

- on the forums.

- yes, unofficially

- you wouldn't, you also wouldn't know about the car club itself. Although we do have a few ways of advertising to non forum members (word of mouth mainly and things like business cards)

- I believe people who helped last time get a discount.

- Not sure (and exec may be able to help with this). Although most would argue that $115 (non member) entry fee is more than reasonable for a full day of motorsport.

- I am guilty of this, but we are trying to promote a fun, safe event, and desperate times call for desperate measures. We aren't running a nazi camp, we are here to run events that members enjoy.

- All the info has been posted in the events thread, this here thread as a last ditch effort to gain interest before the event gets cancelled.

got a mate with the 180 who said he'll decide by thursday or friday at latest..... hes keen but alittle tight on cash so hes just gota work out a few things first and might have no choice but to sleep in the car saturday night in canberra lol

I think it was 4 by the end of it. Abo bob can confirm, but basically we were SO close. The difference between running this event and not running this event is all in the "hey mate im doing this day with the skylines club, its fun and cheap, come along!" between mates

    • 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"
