This cruise was a lot of fun ay,

even tho half of us got lost up in the hills! it gave me a great experience, and i got to test out my coil overs

some of those turns were hell sharp (good drift roads)

it was pretty hard to see the turns half the time especially going at like 100km

when we got to the end of road to turn back around to get out of the hills i almost hit 2 kangaroos, lucky i was going slow or i would have done some damage. Had to slam my brakes...

On orrong road i almost got flashed at the lights, i went through at orange and i just made it through but then i see flashes...and i saw another skyline behind me...must have passed through red. Bad luck to whoever that was.

Also bad luck to the silver wrx who got pulled over by the cops for having only one tail light working..

I had 2 cops following me for a while lucky i didn't get stopped.

Good communication skills and all to get us all out of that crazy place haha

lucky i made it back home with an empty tank :cheers:

btw has every one heard of the rule dip and fold your mirrors in the hills runs. that was ever one can have their high beams on.

If I did that I wouldn't have seen the fuckhead in the Chaser until I'd cleaned him up :( he's lucky I didn't happen across him at the next meet point.

true true, i guess to do it you have to trust every one your with, and with such a big turn out there's going to be dickheads like that there

Bubba.... what did the chaser look like if you don't mind me asking? (i.e colour etc and what did the guy look like if you remember)?

[OVAXCITED] pearl white, auto, kept dropping single wheelers, dunno what the guy looked like.

Haha that would be my dad in his R32 GTR VSpec II! Late life crisis ay :(

Nice1! he certainly wasn't shy with it either, I was barely keeping up with him round a bend onto Tonkin.. I was like "fkn gtrs!" heh

yea i no wot u mean bout the guy drivin the chaser! he was up my ass for a while n he had hid headlights that were blinding me! then he overtook me and everyone else that he got a chance too. the roads were pretty skinny not to mention the lack of vision. i thought i was a cruise not a race!! his no plates were "IMEXCITED" i think. a little too excited if u ask me. newayz was a good night. did ne1 notice if there was a speed camera at the exit of the poly farmer tunnel?? i think i got flashed but not sure. mite b trippin.

Might have been a flame pop out someones exhaust and lit up the area with a flash.. or someone flashed their high beam headlights

yea dunno maybe just trippin. the guy with the chaser busted the biggest flame out his exhaust in the hills! i thought his car was on fire it popped n then kept burnin for like 10 seconds lol n it was goin up the back of his car haha

this dick was driving on the rong side of the road coming up the side of my car and having to back off dew to the lack of road or a hair pin bend not to happy but no stone chips

biggest turn out ive seen i think. sor meet was a good size then people nor at galleria must of spun out when us sor turned up together to make carpark even more packed. was fun tho. did anyone notice that everyone was hesitant to give it a bit on the freeway towards nor meet? not used to seeing 50 performance cars going steady without breaking speed limit lol. it is a cruise afterall i guess. Always fun driving with a big group tho. love it. good work.

yea i no wot u mean bout the guy drivin the chaser! he was up my ass for a while n he had hid headlights that were blinding me!

I closed my side mirrors in through the hills, its not like you looking behind yourself anyway... I must admit though I wanted to be doing ~20kms/hr faster in the hills but my drivers headlight is pointing straight down so I wasn't blinding people in front of me :P

You were behind me up the hill I think, he ended up overtaking all of us.

his plates are [OVAXITED] member of Antilag

hills were good fun, truck stop was awesome... and yeah typical turnout for an ETUNED cruise with good cars and good drivers (generally speaking)

had fun

    • 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"
