ROFL @ William Hung. He's a superstar no doubt.

James you are a lazy assed bastard. Firstly we drink at BO'Rs so you can walk there and now you want to meet at your place so you don't even have to walk? And don't go playing the central tune with me either.

Im pretty sure central would be say...... Patterson Lakes. :rofl:

i've got a few digital pics i can contribute... i also wouldn't mind entering my car this year... just had the front bar cut and resprayed to get more air to my fmic and the car lights up like an a'pexi xmas tree :rofl:

Haha - you've uncovered my secret plan :rofl:

I'll go to where ever people want to meet... even Patterson Lakes :rofl:

Been looking for a Gozilla suit to hire... can't find one.

God a rad Gojira logo though...

Sammi has offered to host a meeting at his place (conveniently not that far from me :rofl:)

Tues or Wed next week - evening (say 8-ish)

PM me if you are interested/able to come along.

tuesday and wednesdays i finish at 8pm so i can be there at 8.30pm... i think i remember where to go... but i doubt it lol

but yeah its on the way home so im fine with it.

My other club had a theme for a couple of car shows.

We put up a few huge board that were designed to look like the pit at a race track, had a Banner of our sponsors over each door. The wall was supported by 20galon oil tanks, also had air hoses extending out over the cars. On the floor we laid down a heap of black garden plastic, then we parked the cars and used thick masking tape to mark out the pits/lines.

I may be able to borrow this display and barriers/fences.

Be warned: Alot of planning has to be done in organising the cars. Then on the night we will need a few people to erect the display.

Hello fellow skyline enthusiasts! I hope to be present at Autosalon this year, and if so will have my car at the Audio FX stand............. goodies permitting!!

If I do make it I will need some SAU stickers for mi beast, because this is a great forum I want to be sure to do my bit to Represent..... aiiii.

If I can help any one with any car audio, alarms in car dvd players screens and the like please PM me or give me a buzz on mi mobile. Forum members are looked after price wise, if you see a product elsewhere let me know and i will see if i can better the price.

It would be great to attend the Autosalon this year with my car Inside this time! :D

It would be good also if we could all try to get together for a photoshoot and get some pics of at least 50 skylines, now that would be a great panorama shot! and a good backdrop for the SAU display if anyonw could work out how to do it! ...... Imagine a single photo of 100 round tail lights!!

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
