Imagine how much faster Mark n Russ' 34 GTR would be if it ran a Motec instead of that shitter Autronic that their tuners insist on! :wub:

i'm telling you motec is not all that. the new ho-tec v69 is much better. they have an R31 silhouette plug-in and a lada niva plug-in too. working on other models to be released soon (wartburg etc). fatz put me onto them. he's been using them since release.

I nowhere suggested the Vi-PEC install was the only thing that has got the car over the line.

[sNIP]

[snipped just enough to make it look bad that is!]

changed the ecu which had a marked effect on the power output and overall engine performance.

You guys really need to have a good read of what is actually written...instead of thinking you know whats going on and drawing conclusions that dont exist.

[MORE SNIPPED]

lol, very tricky :wub:

you should be a politician!

Well fair enough I stand corrected. I've been searching for a good plug-in for my Lightburn Zeta..... but I need to know if this Ho-Tec V69 you speak of has the ability to run an additional stepper motor to turn my carburettor mixture knob when it's hits the V-neck that I'm installing? You seem to be the man in the know......

does the pope shit in the woods? is a bear catholic? of course it has advanced cardigan control for your goggomobil dart.

If only I had of installed a ViPec in the diesel TATA I was driving on Sunday, I may have been in with a chance in Open class! They are that GOOD!

LOL, i need to find a product i can rebadge and sell, i wonder if Porsche will let me sell GT2s as Brizasaruses , a cool name for a sports car if ever there was :P Then some viral advertising and i would be set ;)

lol, very tricky :P

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC
Scott built the new engine and changed the ecu which had a marked effect on the power output and overall engine performance.

Nice snip Doof...you should be a journalist...never let the actual truth, facts and complete statements cloud what could be a very juicy tale. Well done son.

You can flog off in my hotel room anytime.

So they aren't using one of those ebay power chips????

:P

i don't think mark and russ's r34 is quick cause it runs a motec. it's got a lot of other shit going for it, not least of which is the handsome driver... same as the evo. garth drove the wheels of it to get that 1:12 on a slow track.

Bloody oath, its not the MOTEC, anyone thinking that is an idiot.

ITS THE RB30 THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE :P

Yep top day and great for spectators, $15 get to see some good trade displays of the core stuff relevant, get your car washed and ran on the dyno, $50 for helicopter ride, shuttle bus around the track and an awesome display of tough cars close up and in action.

Johnny Boston did a top job as always. No crashes on the day and not too many car blow ups, track was slow though. The Slot Car had old tyres on front and new on rear main reason it was under steering. New geometry changes and mainly Bilstein PSS9 made a huge difference and fixed oversteer. I noticed Bozman was still pushing that boost button and letting it rip on the COOL down lap, it just loves a thrashing, can't kill it. I could see the tyre smoke after Suttons and to the dog leg from the pits.

The black monster R34 GTR was the toughest car I have seen. What a machine, more in it yet to as its maiden voyage.

Hey Russ I will see you at Dat Nissan Nats then. May as well bring your trophy with me, which has been at my shop. I won it the last two, but no real competition. You guys will be a great draw card and great to compete with you. Are you bringing just the two or three of your GTR’s???

who is this imposter!

ghay!

You shouldn't post sober fatz, you seem to regret it later in the night...

Is this the whoretown? Its just that ive already taken my shirt off.

Oh hai DOOF, I am in the right place.

definately whore town right now :)

Duncan guessed it right. fatz you must log off when using my computer.

Far to sensible for fats I know. You big legend you.

I read that this afternoon in dis-belief....has fatz grown up...surely not.

Ahh thanks for the link Adz!

Yeah Adrian - exactly what I meant. Brown's car would be unknown by 99% of people on here and has somwhere between 30-50% of the power of the cars it was competing against.

So 1.12.1 was the quickest lap of the day from the Evo. Very good result there.

Also maybe its a missprint but this John Boston bloke turned up 3 times - 1st in class, 3rd in class and 5th in class. He must be an odd sort of guy.

I'm sure our Vic friends will be pretty cut up to see their mate Brett Middleton come home dead last in the amateur class super lap.

Brett Middleton last. That makes me sooooo happy. The guy is an asshole !! :)

Brett Middleton last. That makes me sooooo happy. The guy is an asshole !! :)

id want him to be 1st....last means he has a possible chance of running up everyones arse!....at least if he's first you can keep an eye on him.

amateur class...very fitting for BM though.

    • 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.
