I can link you to a picture? :P

I buy mine locally, I don't know of any online stores, though I'm sure there are plenty.

That is a great help :P

Haha hey man, you managed to piece together the rest of this fiiiiine automobile without me linking you to each part! :laugh:

Hey you went to that Haltech tech-night that JEM put on awhile ago yeh? Was it good?

Yeah well i got it this far i guess :unsure:

And as for the JEM night.... Ill link you to a picture of it :P

It wasnt a Haltech night, it was just about dyno tuning and a bunch of other stuff!

I just ended up wrapping mine with some silver exhaust wrap. Should be right now.

You must end this obsession with black. I have the urge to swap out just one Dash fitting for a Red/Blue item when your not looking!

Also, the ACL ceramic cored aluminium heatshield can be painted with a high temp paint if necessary.


In black for example. :whistling:

I will help you ;)

Basterd!!!

Haha you sir are a good man!!!

^^^^^^^^^

I have that on my turbo oil return. That shit is excellent, expensive, but top notch. Slide it over anything sus like turbo water lines, oil feeds/returns etc.

I think you produce a lot more heat than me even at low boosts, when we compared temps at Texi.

I just radiate heat baby :banana:

So it looks like the seat rail situation will be sorted soon, unfortunately if i use the sliders which i probably will, its doesnt get the seat any lower in the car :/ So no real advantage in terms of seating position BUT the seats will have more hugginess or whatever you call it over the standard GTT seat, as comfy as they are, they have seen better days...

On the weekend i decided to jack the car up and suss out some stuff in the front end, turns out i will be doing Tie rod ends as they are pretty ordinary, lower control arm bushes and ball joints and also work out what to do with the upper camber arms, will likely leave the bushes in, however its apart now so will do some research in terms of options to see if any improvements can be made!

I also found the tyre was contacting more that i thought under large bumps etc and has started chewing away at stuff -

IMG_6451_zpsac47d74f.jpg

Will raise the front of the car and also roll the front guards in an attempt to fix some of this contact being made! Also going to try run the 255/35 tyre up front as its wider but roughly 5mm less in diamter, i dont think this will mess with the ABS but i guess ill find out!

Also, while i remember i should post up these graphs.....

This is the HTA on normal high boost (25ish psi) vs an all out run with max boost screwed in (28ish psi) -

HTA76HivsMax_zps575f0e01.jpg

You can see there is no real gain in overall power from the higher boost level which shows the HTA wheel is basically out of puff!

This is the high and low boost run from last Saturday when we were having some ignition troubles -

Still makes more power on 20psi that it did on the old GT turbo at 24psi :D

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
