You mentioned Bankstown.. They live, breathe and steal cars for a living .. Of course they get impounded people around the area think 50km zone means its a airport runway.

Honestly I drive like a huge granma and often wonder if driving my car is worth it. Huge fuel costs, unlimited groupies, theft, insurance, attention from police (which i must say are always excellent to me.)

Sometimes I think I should trade in for a MX5.. that pulls chicks doesnt it?

well last night on ACA there was another "HOON" story, I have a suspision that the person that started this thread may have been involved with the story aswell.....

And with all honesty there is very little hooning going on in the streets of sydney anymore, very rarely are they organised events these days, if someone is dragging on the street you see them at the traffic lights, only just met eachother, give it a rev, lights turn green, they dump the clutches then the siren goes off and chases them lol, otherwise they do there little sprint and then head there separate ways.....

i drive every night (work night shifts) and have never come across an organised meet on the street, all i see are wanks reving at the lights, sometimes i give mine a rev while its still red and then let the other take off like an idiot while i purposely keep my foot on the clutch a second longer, i've already been suspended once, and im not going to cop it again.

usually i'm being asked by a shitty honda or a hyundai with an exhaust to a drag from the lights, f**k them i'm not going to let my R33 gts-t sex machine stoop down to there level, its embarrasing...

Brighton used to be the ammature street meet back in the day.... i drive through it every Friday (will do it again tonight) between 1am to 5am (sorry i mean Saturday morning by that time) to take my gf home to the shire from the city and the amount of coppers checking speed, random breath tests is unbelievable, every Friday i am pulled over and breath tested (obviously looking for an excuse to book or defect a green p plater in a turbo) and i asked the regular copper that breath tests me every week about the hooning problem in the area, he says they are long gone, only randoms that may have had a drink or 2 will do abit of a burn out, or somebody who has just had a dispute may speed off, otherwise the rest of the people know we'll jump on them asap.... he said something like that anyway....

god i hate ACA and today tonight,,,, not only about the hoons and p plate laws but every single stupid story (and thats all they are, stories) they have ever made, they never use facts, they always say "as to our knowledge" because they purposely only research what will give them a better story even when it bends the truth..... I really hate ACA for many things. thats why i liked watching the Chasers, they saw straight through the mirrors and smoke of ACA and Today Tonight

anyway if there is hooning why don't the cops target the hoons instead of wasteing there time trying to "prevent" hooning by hasseling every S15 or Skyline that drives past, that doesn't stop anything? I'm either driving to or from work or driving to or from my girlfriends, yes I was suspended for 3 months for speeding to work which i shouldn't have (not in a skyline), but thats not hooning and everybody knows somebody who has been suspended for some reason, atleast it wasn't for drink driving, hooning is nothing, how many people die in australia every year from hooning????????? you can count them on your hands, how many people die from drink driving????? id say dozens easy if not most of the yearly road toll. atleast somebody speeding has some chance of avoiding a collision, a drunk driver even doing under the speed limmit has no chance avoiding an incident if a situation arose...... AND NO I DONT SUPPORT SPEEDING

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

      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"

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
