Thanks you staff for organising this. Drivers' briefing is one of the best I've heard.

The trip back to Windsor was a hoot.

2 cars became 3

3 cars became 5

5 cars became 7

And I don't mind saying that 2 of the drivers with 110years+ between them, kept the convoy 'up to speed' eh Humbla?

We even wriggled around a smash. Was that a wedding car?

There were sooooo many gorgeous cars there too

Tai's R32 must be entered in the SnS

Che's R34 - well what can I say but for the fact that he wouldn't let me eat off it

Dave's R34 in red - what a colour?

Midnight purple R33 - one of the best colours ever made too!

All the great ppl there that made me welcome again & can now put faces to names but the personalities count even more! :yes:

Yeh Terry I think the wedding car was involved.

Well mate with 110+ yrs behind you both you sure did set the standard for most of the way home :D

6.3 Gig of vids and pics to sort through, plus the dvd footage from terrys place...

including the special event.. Aggro chases down Terry :P

Will post up later tonight, first things first.. food and shower!!

Nice to meet all of you and to put faces to names for the others I didnt get a chance to meet.. I think I still won for loudest exhaust :)

It still sucks that I fail on the uphill parts. Must get turbo.. screw P plates

Hahaha,

I saw you all in the distance on the horizon and said to Alex, We have to run home with them! I didnt think I was gonna catch you for a while there especially after you guys overtook the caravan and I ran out of room.

The drive home was awesome people, I had a ball.

Nice to meet you Dave (and after being behind you for a while on the way home yes your exhaust is LOUD) and Terry your 34 is stunning

Thanks also Nick for inviting Alex and myself to the spare seats at your table

Here is a couple of pics but they are a bit crappy.....Except of course the one of my 33, hehe

The Putty Road cruise was a lot of fun as usual - a good chance to catch up with some old friends and to make some new ones.

The trip home was one for the old brigade indeed with me also adding to the numbers to bring it into the 165+ years for the three of us. We also started out by ourselves and then became part of your growing pack.

Clinton and I had a great lunch with good conversation thanks to Terry GT-R34, Humbla, R 2 THE J and Pezhead to name a few.

Thanks again to all for a great day.

Cant wait to see the Pics, had a freakin awesome day, the 32 got a good workout!, and must remember next time to wear sunscreen...

165+ ??? :yes:

Imagine Charles, being pulled over by the policeman who then says,

"I've pulled over antique cars with racy drivers in my time; but I've never pulled over racy cars with antique drivers before!" :blush:

Great conversation at our table with yourselves, Eric, Rudy, Joe, Janelle & Jetta

And elsewhere with David aka Aggroman, Andrew, Aron, Che, Linton & Tai + at the start with Dave, NYTSKY, Jezza, David aka FloydWestwood, Matt aka MBS206

Regards, Terry

    • 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"
