As a tradition for every V series cruise there is a thread so it makes search easier for future reference. the last 4 rounds has been a success so once again lets make it happen.

where - Powis St carpark.

when - 1pm sunday 17th 0ct 2010

what to bring - sunnies, drink, a smile and a bloody strong hand =)

there will be a BBQ so please stay for food and drink. a professional photographer will be there in an RX-8 so smile whenever you see them pass by lol.

The v series cruise is conducted for forum and the public people to meet in person to gain further knowledge about the nissan v series skyline. It is where we can talk about cars, girls, and more cars jk. but mainly to have fun.

There will be no HOONING involved as we will be cruising in our head turning vs as a pack. (posting this for legal reasons)

anyway myself and victor cant wait to meet new faces and at the same time ill be giving some oldschools a call to see if they can make it or overseas working.

regards Richard.

ps. a map for the first meet has been posted just in case.

was a good day. until i got a yellow a few demerits for excessive noise which i took the blame for some lol.

someone was revving and giving it abit behind me...i was first at the lights... gave it a quick 0-60km and popos assumed it was me, so booked me for excessive noise and 3 demerits. f up thing is that im on the double or nothing and it ends in 4 days... fml.

sorry 2 hear the bad news Richard, car cruises attract cop attention like fat boys to cupcakes but then again the coppers are within their rights. unfortunately nowadays, they can get you for hooning if you make a quick dash 0-60 ...even if u didn't exceed speed limits

i tried to persuade the missus today, but i'd already used up my leave pass spending the whole day at the Ascot races on a drinking binge yesterday.

looking forward to the pics though.

Ah damn, that sucks bro - seems like a bit of BS to me :banana: , they should've realised it wasn't your car when they pulled you over (i.e. would have heard your exhaust). Oh well, hope something works out

Hi everyone, it was great to meet VQ-series owners on cruise no.5.

Thank you to all who attended and those who couldn't attend, we look forward to seeing you in future events.

Photos should be uploaded tonight.

Thank you.

Hey Guys,

For those that don't have FB (and whom I don't have on FB:P) - here are a few pics of the cruise (17 Oct 2010). :D

Enjoy!

Very nice photos, Tarun. Thanks.

I will be uploading mine tonight.

The cars look sweet.... :D

Looks like you guys had a great day.... :(

Hi mate, thanks.

Yes, we had a great day out. Could have been better if we got more previous owners to come along as well. But we are happy with the outcome.

    • 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"
