took out my coilovers and put in standard suspension, rides like a 4x4 to go over the pits,

failed because of my eyelids, i knew it anyways forgot to take them off, and because of my tint

i have 8% light through the rear two doors and 13% in the front doors, aparently i have to take all the tint off the car, dont know how i can do it... i also found out that they tinted over the factory glass, well will see what happens....

sigh so annoyed

least the guy didnt waste my time and told me what to fix before he "inspected it properly"

Is your tint just the factory tint or does it look heavier? From what I understand the factory tint should be fine :s

Not something I did to my car (engine is still out of it) but what I did today:

went to Tauranga for an SDU (Skylines Down Under) dyno day. In the awd turbo class an R32 GTR made 501awkw, an R33 GTR made 381awkw and a 260RS Stagea was third with a first run of 300awkw on 14psi and on 18 psi made 324awkw (for those who remember Psymin's Stagea it is no more - he is putting all the good running gear in an R32 GTR and the car is for sale with an RB26... pretty much stock RS260).

A 4wd V8 Adventra made 228awkw!

Friday, i fitted new clarion HU and Gizzmo EBC, removed split dumps, front pipe, hi flow cat and GCG turbo off my written off r32. Yesterday i fitted split dumps and hi flow to me new stag. Have my Nistune board here, just waiting for another ECU i bought from perth to arrive, then ill fit my nistune, hi flow GCG, z32 AFM (off the r32) silicon intake pipe and tech edge wide band O2 sensor.

Then i need to sell my r32 (repairable write off, has nistune, injectors, coils and so on already fitted) to fund intercooler, injectors and coils for the stag.

Looking good...

Funniest night in history last night

finished work,went to kidafa's place to help them finish his manual conversion

all was well

took it for a spin round the block,runs really good

started heading home,and as I boosted past chris to turn off my way home I blew off an intercooler pipes.awesome

luckily chris had mike and Adam in his car and they pulled over to help

was f**ken bucketing down and we had no tools to fix the popped hose

another sau member was randomly driving past and pulled over to help

he went back to his place that was just up the road to get tools,he got back and after some swearing and mike putting water down my arse crack I got the pipe back on and tight

only to find that my battery had gone flat.thanks for jinxing me Adam!

Had jumper leads in the car so sau random did a u turn to get our cars end to end,but his hybrid pos wasn't starting my car

he starts reversing back up the portrush rd only to be pulled over by the fuzz on patrol!

Got a warning,and breatho'd and he headed home again to get a jumper pack

so us 4 clowns are standing on the footpath waiting for him to get back and got f**ken egged by a car full of douches,who carries eggs these days and pelts stranded people? Teats

anyways,finally got my green machine running and headed home. But an hour and a half standing in the rain and with my window stuck half open my interior and Gtr seats are sopping wet...

Thanks to all the lads for sticking around

big ups mike,chris and chef

I'd have been f**ked without you!

And of course thanks to the random sau good Samaritan for the tools and jump pack

ps chris,that's why you should dress appropriately.put some pants and a f**ken jumper on!

And that's my story,and mike wonders why I want to sell my stag...

Finally got to have a decent drive after fitting the front facing plenum. It still runs lumpy when cold but after that smooth as. Did 460ks on about 3/4 tank. Best I have ever got.

Also while away picked up a pair of front guards, front bar with lip and some skirts. $50. They are spares jic.

On blowing IC hoses. During testing after fitting the front mount and running huge boost, the hoses kept blowing off the straight pieces of pipe, did not matter how tight the clamps. Simple solution was to drill 4 holes and fit self tappers. The heads stopped the clamp from slipping the same as a lip or ring of weld. Easy to do and inexpensive.

    • 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"
