Yep;spotted you just near the Vid' shop...

I'd love to say I'll be in my R32 GT-R,but unless last night's PowerBall numbers were kind to me,I'm more likely to be in the 1/2 million kilometre old NA Liberty GX...whimper. However,you may see my wife's car around;a gold Sube' Forester,slammed on 20's with a big STi scoop etc. A fairly hard car to miss...

There's a gold 33,carbon bonnet and no/minimal boot spoiler that lives in Jerra'-Darryl is the man in question. Neat car! Might be the one you've seen?

yeah man i seen it heaps, has she had work done by that guys at that servo on lanyon drive?

coz i think i was in there admiring the car when the bloke said "yeah it belongs to a lady but her partner's car is even better, she is alowed to spend on her car to keep her happy witch keeps you him happy when he wants to spend" gave me a little chuckle.

Yep;the gang at Integra have looked after both hers and mine over the years. The more she spends on hers,the more my rebuild is going to be worth it...

This is the 'Resta upon purchase:

And currently(a work in progress....)

So,if you want to use some imagination,here's a 'before rebuild' photo of the GT-R...

The physical shape wont change-it's the original Godzilla,so I couldn't change perfection!-but if you thought it was good before,well...

E's tint was Terry at Instant Windscreens in Fyshwick-the ONLY fella to be allowed near our cars for tinting!

pretty sure i spotted tj in civic this afternoon. also a burgandy r33.

i was on northbourne in the ute with the bonnet up waiting for the nrma. you know why?

- someone bought it for $1500

- called me up 10 mins later to say 'it just died'

- i gave him back the money, he left

- nrma arrives, reckons somehow they'd somehow jammed the key onto 'start' and been driving with the starter motor spinning?!

but i'm not bitter.

^^ haha dude.. are you still pissed?

I was off tap.. I cant even remember going on the computer and actually writing it. I can't even imagine myself being able to use it whilst being in the state that I was in.

Hot plates!

Who is this Phee you speak of?

This 'Phee' has caught my interest..

:wacko: She's from Darwin but i think she's getting some work done on her car down here.. and yes she's a hottie :D

Pfft.. I wouldn't wave to you anyway :wacko: nah, not you..

You heard much from manpower? I asked my TL how you went, and he said you were pretty good.

EDIT: Not Manpower as in the naked guys.. but the recruiting agency that ATO (my work) uses to employ people.

haven't heard anything yet. keeping my fingers crossed. i'm only doing bunnings twice a week, i'm that sick of it. it's good tho, it's like a paid holiday! but yeah, guess i'll wait and see. thanks for the heads up ps again. will see u soon.

    • 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"
