Hey guys, i was in the blue s13 with the legit L plates on it. I got a lot of videos for the day but a lot of them had either water all over the camera or shocking driving. Made up a vid of some of the good footage from the day. its here - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNPWJ7ZdW14" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNPWJ7ZdW14</a>

Tks to all the peeps that helped to sort out the day. The end of the day was the greatest. Got so many runs, look forward to the next one.

Enjoy the vid

Dude your a surprisingly good driver for a L plater. Nice drifting man, good to see you take initiative to make it to track days/skidpan events in a car you enjoy instead of doing it on the street showing off to your mates. Keep it up!

Awesome pics Kory!

Also, the PM's are not working yet, according to Christian it will take longer than 24 hours, so maybe by Tuesday

Wow - nice video. You're on your L's! Holy S!>>>>

Keep up the good work.

Thanks mate, i drive like a grandma on the roads and even if i did decide to do some "mad skids in ma hectik ride yo" i barely have enough power to beat a bloody camry. Love going to track days and having fun and its really cheap compared to doing stupid stuff on the streets. Crashes arent cheap and the cops dont get happy if a young kid in a Nissan hits a tree. Plus if you do it on the track and you spin out, turn around and keep going, do that on the road = Funeral bills.

Good on ya weapon. You're a shining example of what could happen if younger drivers were taught to have some pride and interest in their driving skillz as well as as their fully sick rims. Nice skids BTW.

Only problem is that there are no tracks/Venues that can offer days like this. The government are mega strict on having a motorsport event anywhere but when its done on the road they have a rage and say go do it on a track. Kinda hard if they keep closing them down. Eastern creek is really the only track thats available to do some real racing/drifting and even then, sometimes when I have been there the people at the gate are real a**holes. Guess if you want motorsport that is non-stop awesomeness, go to jp.

can someone let me know Eric's forum name, i need to give him moneys for the gopro hire.

Hey Buddy, since PM's still aren't working you can reach me on my mobile 0419 468 835 or email [email protected]

I should be getting the last of the photos today (I hope - I've been chasing down the post man too). Then I'll duplicate them this weekend and mail out on Monday.

If anyone is coming to the Jim Richards Dinner, PM me and I'll bring your disks for hand delivery.

Post screwed up so I'll be getting the photos hand delivered and may be a little later in the week on posting them out because I have a busy week on. They will go out next week though.

In the mean time here is a little compliation video I put together (freshly dropped on youtube so quality will improve as then process and hopefully HD version available soon).

    • 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"
