change is both inevtiable and good.

I guess I can't talk about what I did to my stagea today in this thread tho.

Change is only good when it fixes the issue. Should have deleted the old chilli thread in my opinion but I guess that doesn't count only being a paid up member...

What was the issue anyway? I see more crap spoken in every other forum, especially the forced and na ones and there is never anything done there, squeaky wheel ey?

I think you could get away with it, the subtitle of this thread states "But you can talk about other stuff too".. What you did to your Stagea today falls into that catagory, so by all means - go at it :P

its a good philosophy to live by. one of mine is, dont shit in your own nest. lol

hows the sump adaptor issue going with proengines?

not going anywhere with them....but it is off being milled this week. not impossible that I will get it back for xmas again. funnily enough i already have a motor to build next week for the race car

may as well tell everyone. yeah i did

a few things to note:

dont ask me how much i paid

dont ask for parts, ill put up a FS post with everything available. If i get a PM from you, you get nothing.

dont assume its yours unless youve paid for it.

For real. i would of been hella pissed off with proengines. Are you taking legal action? So that must be your track car in your avatar. got a mate deciding on turbos for his atm, probly a pair of 2560R-5's. Of course you must of heard about Powerchip. lmfao

lol -5s, I wish. Its a production car so has to run standard n1 turbos.

unfortunately for me I have a much bigger problem than proengines to take on atm. I'm just getting that one fixed. Hills Motorsport have already pulled the motor, machined the plate and have lined up some new bearings.

went thought the BusTech factory in QLD today. my wifes cousins own it and surfside buses. awesome to see how a bus is built and all the engineering put into it!

they were churning out 1 bus a day from the factory in the last year.

today i hopped on a sydney government bus that was almost finished, i felt good because i didnt have to pay to get on it :P

Can someone FAST a part number for me? :)

For lack of a better description, Im after the tensioning pulley (or pulley bearing) for the aircon/accessories belt. Mines making 'death noises' :/

i did mine the other month. dont have a part number, but cost me $150 for both belts, i was told take the belt off and get someone to drive you to repco(or similar) and they can match the belt for a fraction of the cost.

EDIT

wait..

Scrap that i just read it! lol

    • 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"
