yeah i've had the "whats that" a few times.. its great seeing their confused faces when i go on to explain its a skyline, then going on to explain its more like a 4 seater 350z..

i have so much trouble explaining what the car is to people who have not seen it before!!! i usually just give up.. which is where usually one of my friends try to explain it to the brick wall.. which usually ends in my mates saying somthing along the lines of "trust me its an awesome car"... with myself proudly grinning as i walk away...

lovin the V lol

Hey i get the classics GTR35, 350Z

But the best was

"Oooo it's so James Bondish"

"yep and this where the rockets come out and i can driver it with my phone"

hehehe nice one.. you know what my plate numbers is based on that concept.

my friends call me Ogz (my nickname) and one of my favourite numbers is 7..

so i wanted to incorporate my nickname and my fav number at the same time. so i came up with OGZ-007 since my car is very black.

hehehe. so only my friends would get it and have a giggle about it. :/

Ill post some pics of the car later on.. after i get it detailed. =)

Peace,

All this talk of people not knowing what cars we have, well it seems kids are totally up to date with it.

1 - I went to visit a friend, and the neighbourhood kids were out playing, a 10yr old asked me if it was the 350gt, i said yes, and then he laughed and told my mate that his Ford XR6 was slower, how the hell does a 10yr old know this? haha

2 - I was picking up my daughter from school, and when I got out of the car, I overheard some kids nearby talking. One of them didn't know what it was but was really impressed and telling the other kids to have a look, but then one kid pipes up and says, 'its only a Skyline!'. Once again, how the hell do kids recognise these cars? :/

Just a head up guys since thread is active. Cops are out breathalising just got checked three times between east/Suburbs and parramatta rd Ashfield !! Be Cool on the booz

Cop sussed my car out from back to front and was speechless for a few seconds its was funny. ;)

As for the kids knowing the Skyline _I'm not surprised -they work everything out real quick, computers, whos who in movies. They have sharp eyes and keen senses. By 10--I knew every car made here, every spec, every engine output, it was scary !!..Then came girls..and thats why I'm writing at this time..!!lol

Driving home from my g/f's place in the afternoon I see a silver astra dodging through traffic in a mad rush in my rearview mirror.

Slows down to the speed limit as he rides along side, see him wave and thumbs up I return the gesture.

We end up side by side at a set of lights, his car has a milo tin fart cannon, ozzytyres black rim with machine lip and HSV badgery all over

He rolls down his window (I already had mine down) and says "mate, I've never seen a jap car I like but that's nice!"

I thank him, saying I like his wheels

"Is that 370kw?"

I thought to myself he had obviously spied the 370gt badge on the back, I was thinking I really should educate him on the finer points of how it reflects the model range and displacement of the engine, but the light turned green so I grinned, nodded my head and we continued on our way

hehe this wld be one smoking thread. Bet the supereuro owners would be stressed.

for some reason i keep getting "Ooo is that the new twin-turbo skyline??" (gtr35)

or "its nice, got lots of Aston Martin in it".

The weirdest one by far was in the city i was standing a couple of feet away from the car when two girls came out for a smoke, the first one goes "wow, that's hot Ive never seen that before" and the second goes "hmm, my bf's car has stripes and lots of pretty lights on it" then the first ones goes "cool".....i mean WTF!!...lights!!! come on!

    • 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"
