Nah I haven't crashed, just offering a subjective opinion on custom number plates - if you're thinking of getting one, DON'T!! :D

Last night at work this regular rice-boy rocks up and starts asking me if I've ever seen and dragged a red GSR before. He asked coz he's looking at trading in his cosmetic performance for something a bit more tangible, and looked at this GSR for sale (thus where he heard the story)

So anyway I said "noooope" coz I haven't ever dragged any, and he goes "oh, I asked this guy about the performance of it, and he streamed off a few cars he's successfully dragged and one of them was a dark silvia, license plate PSIKO" ..................... :hellpisse

I was thinking to myself before I got the plates that this might happen, and lo and behold it has. Makes me wonder how many other hot sh*t Tom Cruise mofos are out there saying the same stuff bout whosever cars

Just interested to see if anyone else has ever heard similar stuff referring to their cars..?

Needless to say I will be out all this weekend, weather permitting, hunting down red gsr's

bitch

nah i never considered personalised number plates, i dont think its a good thing to be remembered on the road... also attracts unneccessary attention. or if someone sees you drive past with the stereo loud for whatever reason they can remember the numberplate, tell their dodgey mates and theyll kindly steal your stereo... (happened to a mate of mine) so yeh i dont think theyre a good idea

Yes I agree with Adam 32 once my car arrives, I will not be putting on private plates, it's too easy to remember for both the criminally minded and the police, you'll never know if you are going a little to fast past an off duty police office who notes down you plate and picks you up at a later date!

Well I don't mind about that, as they can only bust you at the time of doing it :(

yeah they may have a crapper attitude to you when they next pull you over, but if you have a bodykit and all this other stuff your car will stand out anyway and they are pretty wary of car models etc (Jimih was talking to a policewoman after she pulled him over and she happened to say she had seen a rodeo ute - described it perfectly, as james worked out it was one of his mates) :D

but if you drive like a dick then sukd in if you get caught anyway :burnout:

regarding theives: nice alarm

put away in locked up garage

and sleep next to a 12-gauge :uh-huh:

I like personalised plates, but it's some reasons that put me off of them, like rumors etc

they wont be able to charge you with speeding but they can still come at you later with a careless driving or dangerous driving summons which means you have to battle it out in court

      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"
