No point splitting up PM and PNM Alex. Might as well split up AWD and RWD C34's if you are going that way... and manual and auto configurations.

I reckon keep it simple and have it split into engine types.

C34, 260RS, NM35, PM35.

Do like the idea though :)

I wasn't going to split up PM/ PNM, I just couldn't find a way of writing it without looking like I was splitting it up!!!rolleyes.gif Did you think I was being specialwhistling.gif

Anyways, I think s brief note of the cars mods would be needed too like - C34- GT3076, nistune, Manual AWD - if you get my drift.

I'll work at getting this sorted when I get some time, a mod might have to update, but I'm happy to collate info.

what ya get done for ?

ride height and tint...

Nothing I can do about ride height...I dont think my coilovers clear the 100mm requirement even on their highest settings!

have to go back to stock???! :sick:

Funny thing is, I saw the HPU car ahead, he was busy issuing a ticket to someone. I drove at the limit and parked home (it was about 500m away). Next thing I know the HPU is in my driveway, lights flashing and all.

I guess he was "gracious" enough not to give me a fine...apparently I was going to kill people because my ride was too low and windows were too dark...

Interesting that when I was pulled over by HPU last May they had a peek under the car and didn't say anything about my height...and my car was even lower back then!!!

lol attitudes are different in the stagea section.

do you actually have tint on the car? the c34s came with "privacy" glass (not tinting) on the rears and cargo area that is very dark - but is legal

It was tinted by the previous owner....I've been pass so many RBT stops without any hassles I don't know why this douchebag had a hard on for my stag.

The rear glass had the factory privacy tint, the previous owner tinted the front to match. FFS it even passed roadworthy when I rego'ed it in Vic...

I guess someone needed to make his quota...

you modded the car, dont blame the cops :)

Typical holier than thou reply I'd expect from you...:whistling:

Soooo, sittin' watching Resident Evil; Apocolypse (obviously couldn't spell Apocalypse) the bit in the church with the "Brain Critters", and I hear a funny noise outside.rolleyes.gif

Flicked on the floodlight, slip on the pluggers and head out to the patio. Shit! Left the BBQ on; that was a lucky one. biggrin.gif

Turned to walk back inside; a frog jumped on my thonged foot!

Shit myself, jumped about four feet in the air; squealed like a little girl and nearly fell over in a puddle.

Meanwhile; the cat is sitting 10 feet away watching me dancing like Peter Garret on PCP...

If cats could laugh...

Now I'm all

f**kin' nature...

Goddamit...just got defected...f**king cops...

LOL I love how p.i.g.s. gets autocorrected to cops on this site...

Didn't you lose your licence? Did you get it back?

Bad luck man. You still got the stock suspension?

Lost it for a month, and lose it for another 6 month starting 1st Feb

yeah still got stock suspension....good thing I kept them!

Tempted to get BC's and pawn the silkroads though :whistling:

Been looking around at power steering coolers. Not keen on running a second hand one, rather just buy a new core and be done with it.

Figured I'd try the local guy, in my case Repco, and see what they had available.

First guy at Repco wants to know what the particular car is, then can't find one in his computer. Apparently Repco don't carry the stock power steering cooler for an M35... :whistling:

Then I tell him to stop looking for that particular one, and just a generic one, he passes me onto a second guy, who first thinks I'm asking for a power steering 'core', and then tells me he works on race cars and no cars come out standard with factory power steering coolers. Then when I correct him, he starts back peddling.

After treating me like an idiot, then tells me he can get PWR, and quotes me an outrageous price on it.

And these people wonder why we shop online/overseas... :domokun:

What did they want to hit you for a PWR cooler? Even the repco "V8" auto trans cooler kit is only $110 and it uses a PWR core.:rolleyes:

Everyone who works at Repco reckons they work on race cars; especially when they can't find parts for your car.:thumbsup:

Ebay is your friend for a little cooler; trust me...

So how small can we go to do the job? I'd reckon it doesn't need to be half as big as the trans cooler to be OK, considering we don't have one at all.

Then i started wondering if a larger one (trans cooler size or even bigger) mounted out of the front airflow (a bit tight for space there) would radiate enough heat to be effective?

Funny thing is, I saw the HPU car ahead, he was busy issuing a ticket to someone. I drove at the limit and parked home (it was about 500m away). Next thing I know the HPU is in my driveway, lights flashing and all.

I'm not sure if things are different in Vic (well, we know they are in many respects, lol) but if I drove into my driveway & the police were more than 30sec behind, I'd already be in my garage with the auto door on the way down.

The only way he would be checking out my car is if he turned up later with a warrant ! Not sure about the law here if it was parked outside in my driveway tho.

they arent allowed on your property for any reason, unless you have performed a criminal act and they are arresting you. im sure there are other reasons too.

AFAIK you cant be breathalised on your own property too

I find that very unlikely

You can be breath tested on you property. You can even be tested upto 2 hours (pretty sure its 2) after a accident. So if your involved in a crash and go home and drink you could be in a bit of trouble

So in Jethro's case.... driving past with low & too much tint... a criminal act?? I reckon he had a good case to tell them to get of his property.

    • 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"
