You know what this means for SKYROD B-Man...back to the workshop. :mad:

Hey but at least you got to give it some stick, and it's a better reason than getting 15's from lack of power. :D

Yeah - and I gave it a go , which was fun ! I can only get better from here , hey ?

BTW - after 2nd run, when I filled WSID with smoke and the announcer thought I had blown a turbo ha ha ha - I rang John straight away and asked him to order me a super duper clutch......

Dang - next thing that will go is the diff, then the gear box - ha ha ha ha ha

Pretty disappointing day if you ask me. Certainly not worth the $30 I paid at the gate thats for sure, infact i'd say that the 2 previous Wednesday nite street meets have been much better. The crowd was well.... their wasn't much of a crowd, even from 8-10pm when it was much cooler.

Well done to 2rismo, B-Man, PranK, Merli etc for displaying SAU for us :cheers:

I have to say i was a little disappointed as well, there was about 4 hours when there werent even any cars running (& the track was fine...). The whole 'Drag Combat' thing didnt even match up to a street meet for entertainment.

Auto Salon wont be seeing any more of my money for a while... the 8.4 run from WAR-700 was pretty cool, so was the 13.1 from 2rismo. (oh so close to a 12 from what i presume is a std turbo)

... and hats off to Merli, Prank & 2rismo and co ( i saw yor cars, couldnt see the owners :Oops: ) for ignoring the heat etc etc....

The Autostyle guys rocked up with their pack of cars, couldnt believe none of the cars ran, considering they are all claiming big power from the T88 setups.

Well we had fun, appart from the heat and some other factors, such as a blown 3rd and 4th gear, and then being stuck in 5th.

We got a 13.5 first run ever then a couple of 12.0's and then later a 11.9.

We are looking forward to Qld (appart from the heat) should have some better times as we will be going in with a fully rebuilt gearbox that we blow on Monday. Yes that is right 2 gear box's in less then a week.

So if anyone in Qld has a spare gear box that would like to lend us while we are there just in case, we would thank you.

If you are going to Qld and you see us say Hello!.

Also if anyone got some pics or video of the car can send me a copy [email protected].

Cheers

Heat was ridiculous, organisation was similar.

Roy, did you miss the car run 13.0 ?? ;-) I snuck in a grudge match against a 9 sec gemini for the 13.1 but the previous round in eliminations i went a tenth quicker at about the same terminal speed.

By the end of the night i was trying ANYTHING to get the shagged, hard tyres to work and snag a 12. It wasnt to be however the speed through the traps lends itself convincingly to a solid 12 so i'm happy.

Good to catch up with some people on the day as well - GTR700, hats off. I wouldnt wanna be in Andrej's racing booties for quids!

    • 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"
