Carseldine sounds good to me for meet up's because depending on the shift I am on I'll finish work in Carseldine at 6-8ish but mostly because I actually know how to get there... I will be up on 11th March so the meets after then consider me there :thumbsup: also after then if you see a pink S2 33 with a white front bar and grey around the side indicators thats me... Slowly changing all my bodywork to the kit I want one piece at a time lol then will get it all made pretty pink again :laugh:

Soooo. im sure i had replied. but apparently not.

Thursday sounds sweet to me at carseldine to kick things off again. short cruise and pizza capers is a win in my book.

SAU southside/northern NSW cruise is this weekend!! ima gonna be there, and the next happy laps for lakeside is also up on the state site. we should all go to one of these things together soon, rather than just 1 or 2 cars at a time. we dont need to take it in turns :rofl2: this will be a topic of convo on thursday.

marriage, poorness and the vague possiblility of selling the liner are over for the moment :merli:. and i need a serious dose of faster driving, this daily commute and highway driving is getting boring.

*so i just bought another gear knob for my car that doesnt fit..........anyone have an after market gear knob? i need to sort this shit out. 2 in a row, and neither fit...despite being advertised as "10mm" and "skyline" in the article. can it really be that hard? i stole a gear knob off a '98 URABUS liberty and it was a perfect and straight fit for my old '82 mazda 323

i got a drift brand gear nob on mine bodo, cost a little was about $60 i think, had adaptors for all the different sizes, and what is this cruise you speak of?, as for happy smacks i'm going to try and get in again, the last one was fun as, but i want to try and get some things done before then, if not just take it a little easier

ok, yeah thats not my style. i want one that screw on. no plastic bits or glue. or the funny little 3 grub screw things either.

I'll have to have a look at yours then Joe. the one i bought has a 10mm screw on adapter...but the thread pitch seems to be different to the skyline.

check out the events section on the state page for said cruise details

yeah saw the cruise info, wont be going as it is mels birthday that day and we have my son, so too long of a drive for him, as for my gear nob, it has these adapters as well, but all you do it find the correct one, screw that into the gear nob the screw it onto the gear lever, as there is no thread on the adapter, kinda like a self tapping gear nob, but once it's on, it wont be coming off in to much of a hurry

well i will meet you all there by about 7:30, got some family members coming as well, as tuesday was my birthday and this will be a combo meet with you guys and a little birthday gathering

it all depends on where you live mate, basically guys from cabulture down to probably burpengary will meet at the bp on the highway southbound the drive down to pizza capers carsaldine, where as i live in lanwton so i would be going from lawnton to pizza capers, and hopefully get there about 7:30, if you live around either areas, let us know and either meet up with the guys up north a little more, or you and i can meet up somewhere around lawnton strathpine area then go down, or you could just meet us at capers

    • 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"
