Hmmm some interesting ideas. Been told that Syndall's not that bad a place to park and ride either.

I'm actually considering buying a bike to ride to the station... it's only a couple of Km's away anyways. That way I cut one bus out of the equation making work just an express train and a tram away.

Would suck if it rained though. Might even get a fixie so I can pose like a trendy yuppie. Are bikes allowed on the train?

noble park station is pretty good

if u get in before 7:30 there are spots available

or you can just park across on the residential streets, like a 1min walk across.

and as stated earlier, heaps of cameras. Police station right next to the station.

for reals?

isn't noble park station where that african gang kid got stabbed and the cops keep tellin people to avoid travelling through?

if your going to be on the train during peak hour (i think you mentioned 8am before)... dont take a bike.... it realy wont be appreciated.

I dare say someone will end up reshaping your bike by kicking it repeatibly as I've witnessed someone do once, just after richmond station. :(

syndal isnt quite as safe as mount waverley. mrs used to park my stagea there daily when we lived there. i would NOT park at glen waverley.

So having moved back to Melbourne and living in Dandy, and never having had to commute regularly during normal hours, I've hardly ever caught the train into the city etc. Do those of you who live around the area, do you guys drive anywhere closer to the city and park there before training it in the morning? I suppose, what stations are "skyline safe" to park at these days in the ghetto? How do you get into the city in the morning?

there's a bus stop near the tafe, walk there and take the bus to station, train 2 work and car stays garaged :(

lol

lol yeah that's what I've been doin, but it takes like 1.5 hours all up to get to work :happy: 3 hours a dy stuck in public transport... fuck that.

for me, living in Dandenong as well, skylines and any train stations is a big no no. U could park it at the 24 hour Coles on Princes Highway and just take a 10min walk to the station. No guarantee of safety though.

I used to park at the Caufield Dan Murpheys when i was goin to uni. They had surveilance on the parking lot because they got sick of people doing burn outs and stuff. Not sure if you can still park there though because they were trying to get rid of people parking there that wern't customers.

I used to park my R33 at Dande station for 5 years without a problem. My V35 got keyed within 1 week though :)

Ended up buying a excel for $500... park it anywhere without thinking twice about it... leave the good car at home. Park at Yarraman cause there's heaps of spots and don't have walk through any morons that usually hang around Dandenong station.

Parked the ceffy today at Syndall and caught the train in... lets hope its still there when I go home.

that said... Glenny line > Dandy line. The train and even the people on the train are much much nicer. lol. The women are less skankier though, but they make up for it with good looks and quality.

if you are lucky you may be able to salvage some of the window glass from the ground

lol sif steal anything from a stock standard ceffy. the camry parked next to it was more done up. enjoy your standard cd skipping japanese cd player that doesn't go past 90 on FM radio.

BTW if you are hotwiring my car, can you fix the electrical issue that makes my driver side highbeam come on when i turn the car off?

well car seems unscathed, no one decided to steal my stock standard jap cd player. :P

negotiated with employer today to work from home and only come in if really needed.

instant win.

    • 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"
