AutoSalon 2004 - less than 2-months to go...


Recommended Posts

Snowman- Thats an awesome idea, video footage would be great. I have a good friend who is waaaay into video editing, has a $12,000 set up at his place. We could make a kick ass dvdvideo as long as we had the footage ready. Let me know

Al - What is the footage on? VHS or Hi-8 MiniDV etc?

James - I think a meeting is definatly best to nut out ideas and get them on paper.

I also have a PS2 that can be used for the day.

I also have a projector I could get hold of, would need to keep it way safe though!

As for the cd of images to play a pc would be the best option, I can borrow as many as we need for the day including monitors etc for th weekend. Won't be a hassel.

James mentioned the idea of a racing theme - theme's are good in my opinion. As a slight variance to a racing theme could be a general motorsport theme including circuit, drag and drift. Show the versitility of the skyline as the ultimate motor sports car.

:werd: (saves me having to think of an idea)

I'll just jump on a bandwagon!

But i like that better than defects.

Versatility of the Skyline, nice idea. Im sure Drag/Drift/Circuit would be AWESOME!

It's sorta like the BMT 'catch phrase' thingy

Drag/Drift/Street/Circuit... or whatever it is.

Pity they thought of it first... we could have used that as out T-Shirt theme.

Maybe have home made banners over the cars, couple of cars for each area.

We could use a name of... SAU - Vic Motorsports Divison ???

or something stupid like that :P

Yeah Racing idea is a kick ass one.

How about a little phrase like out of the dictioanry. You know how they have the name then the meaning. We could fudge somethinglike "Skyline - Power, versatility, syle, unbeatable" or sumthing like that? Or a Godzilla one. Wonder what the meaning is there? Just an idea.

if you need a bnr32 i can get mine in there. i can get it really shiny :P i also have a ps2 to donate for the day... remember gran turismo 4 comes out soon... would be good for multiplayer :)

hmmm you can oil yourself up if you really want to...

I was talking to a mate of mine who's a food artist... he reckon's he can make up some chunks of meat with other car maker's insignia burnt into em, like honda, subaru etc...

chuck the fake meat in a plate in front of each car, get some hired fences (so ppl can't lean on your shit), dress up the models in loincloths and hang a big f**koff sign that says "do not feed the animals" and do it full zoo/safari style...

Just an idea.

Mine won't be done by april so I can't give noof a running for "riciest car in autosalon"... however I will help out, as I did last year (and took 3 days off work too :P as sickies)

ORRRR we can do it so its full Jap autosalon style. with the asian chicks with the transparent umbrellas n all. Where's horus n his bevvy of international students?

I recon we bring the video of mr hung and play it over and over again. He could be the skyline mascot? What you recon?

mr hung would be gold

we could have him sing she bangs with different skyline orientated lyrics

"she fangs she fangs, baby when she boosts she boosts"

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
