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...

PWR was 'on sale' for ~$90. Funny thing was, he told me to go and look at the PWR web site, but the one he was talking to me about wasn't on there...

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?

Nismo PM35 cooler is only a couple of inches longer. I don't think it'll have to be too big. My biggest concern was issues from it being too big.

I'm running an Falcon EF transcooler for my power steering with a thermostat....will be fine.

Nah, I'm more interested in getting something new. Probably this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130481576673?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

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.

Hmmm, bit late to do that!

Something tells me there's nothing much I can do...I mean, I couldn't park in my garage because another car in there...so the copper had a good walk around my car (parked on my property) and wrote up a defect notice...

Are you sure they cannot enter people's property at will? I understand they can't barge into a house, but front yard/driveway...

hmm interesting read: http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/your.rights.html

I think since I was driving on a "highway" and commited a crime with my "dangerously lowered and tinted car", the police have reasonably cause to enter my property to look at the car...well, I guess they could've just looked at it from the roadside...

So many lies in that ad it hurts me.

More over, isnt Dannys this one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389382-had-an-accident-today-no-insurance/ ? The license plate starts with BE, it looks to have Brembo brakes and the exhaust has twin tips (Obviously different wheels). Id say its just a repeating ad they havent taken down.

probably a dealer advertising cars they dont have so people will go there, when they ring they say 'ohh yeah it just sold'

So, just bought the replacement for the stagea. Dont laugh!

Got it brand new, collect Friday.

147KW petrol with DSG. Mines a sedan, not a wagon shown in this pic. Same colour!

My girlfriends old man has the wagon, perhaps a slightly older model though (had it for over a year) - nice car though! Ridiculously economical to run too, I couldn't believe the mileage he gets on the thing

probably a dealer advertising cars they dont have so people will go there, when they ring they say 'ohh yeah it just sold'

A definite possibility.

did he get the oil burner? 1 year old is the same shape, the older shape has squarish headlights

He's never mentioned burning oil, it looks to be the same shape - wasnt sure exactly how new to the market it was when he got it :thumbsup: The seats aren't anywhere near as comfy as the M35 ones imho though! :nyaanyaa:

i have to admit the M35 seats are friggen comfy!! leather FTW :)

i couldnt stretch the budget to full leather, the standard leather/fabric trim is pretty nice.

i just found out it has a DVD player!

    • 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"
