Nice mate. Where did you source your boss kit and quick release from? Do you recommend dealing with the same people?

The Tuners Group... Cheapest i could find online and the service is OK, has been a very long process due to some glitches but still happy with the purchase! All done through PayPal so its safe!

Car is looking great matt. Been a while since I have seen it... bring on 2015 i say! Cant wait to hit the track with you and see how the car goes up close and personal!

Yeah mate! FINALLY do a track day together after all these years..... :woot:

Ok so I have actually just done this now, I think I wrote that wrong, you don't touch the bolt on plates that the bolt goes through, just the elongated hole in the actual arms

The holes in the plates is offset and when you put the offset to the inside as far as it can go the elongated hole in the arm doesn't go far enough so you have to elongate it about half a hole more, I have pics but can not post them on the forum with the 6 plus for some reason, if your interested PM me your number and I will text them across to you

PS, what cams do you have in there at the moment ?

Yeah send through pics for sure!

Cams are Tomei Type B poncams... Just off the shelf, nothing special :)

Hey mate idk if you have posted it up but on my phone theres like 200 pages to read through. What wheel alignment are you running and what have you done coilover and swaybar wise? im getting mine ready fof my first track day in march and i have my setup as 11deg castor, 2.5 deg front camber and 1.5 deg rear camber but im wanting to upgrade swaybars

Do swaybars for sure, best bang for buck upgrade you can do... I run 27mm blade adjustable front and 24mm blade adjustable rears...

Wheel align is changing each event as i am still setting up the car and have been limited by certain things...

Bloody hell your car sounds good in the videos!

Thanks mate! Sounds like ass at low revs at the moment but will change the rear setup soon to sound a bit better....

Thanks bud. Im guessing there whiteline units? Im just saving some coin for a cage currently planning on doing a hillclimb called Mt Alma Mile and last time i went there i saw one car flip into a paddoc so i reckon its cheap insurance haha

Yeah cage is a good idea! I will be extending mine for the 2015 season...

No, mine are Selby Swaybars sourced through Sydney Kid on here many years ago :yes:

....

Yea the drivers right foot

Ok so I just got a wheel alignment as I also put in 4mm RCA adjusters which take out a touch of camber and ended up with 3.3deg camber so with out RCAs I think you would end up with 3.4-3.5 deg camber with this mod

Shot me your number and I'll text the pics across :)

Just finished reading the whole thread, jeeeesus this car is amazing!
Really digging the whole stealth theme, but now with all those stickers its starting to look a bit like the Blitz Dunlop ER34 lol :P
Can't wait to start work on my 34, this has so much good info!
Hopefully I see this in person one day! (if it's ever street driven anymore haha)

Haha thanks.

TBH, the stealth theme was great while it was there...

For the 2015 season i will run only the required stickers by CAMS, i will do my best to maintain the clean look. However i can tell you it certainly does not look like the previous pics anymore.

If you need any help with the 34 just ask, me or one of the guys can most likely help!

It will be driven on the track mainly this year as that is where the build can really be appreciated ;)

I have been pretty busy working on the car between going away on holidays and getting engaged etc.... Life has been great but time to get stuck back into the car... Hopefully ill be able to start posting pics of the progress shortly but the car is still away at the moment and will hopefully be back in the next couple of weeks so i can get it closer to completion...

Very happy with the new parts so far.... Firstly, thanks to Alex i have decided on my new rims -

Speaking of Safety...

The car was fitted with the Brown Davis half cage previously but unfortunately it did not meet the requirements of the classes i intend to run in...

So the old Brown Davis cage and 2 harnesses (11 & 12 dates but still good for club days etc) are up for sale...

There is also the original owners CAMS certificate that came with it somewhere, however it has his personal details so i wont post it online.

Looking for $700 for the lot including the harnesses, bolts and base plates... I do not need any of this with the new setup :)

guess we're never going to cruise on public roads :(

then there's powercruise LOL... I'm keen!

Not likely :(

Oh and powercruise... Was at that yesterday... Nahh!!!

After the old cage came out we had to clean up the interior... Will not do it again as i do not have the patience... What a crap job :rant:

Oh, i would totally snap that cage up, but as its welded together, i doubt shipping would be very nice?

I shipped it from Melbourne to here when i first purchased it as it was built in VIC at Brown Davis... PM me your address and ill see what it works out to be :)

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
