(ohh just too add about the autostyle "dyno queens" if you had a car worth over 100k would you thrash the guts out of it just for the sake of it ? i shure wouldnt .....they are more into the drift days anyway .... )

Those cars aren't worth $100k (perhaps to build in the first place yes, but not second hand from japanese auctions) but I respect that they are expensive and prized possessions, and understand that they might not want to run them too hard and risk blowing them up...

As for "just the sake of it"? Surely, running the cars at a dyno day just to show it off when you already know what power it makes is more trivial than actually using the car as the original builders intended? Maybe we have different ideas about what things are "just for the sake of it"... I don't consider chasing a 1:45 at eastern creek or a 10 second pass "just for the sake of it"... I consider that "actually using the cars the way they should be used" :rofl:

And morlock: Dom (Autostyle King-Banana) is a very good driver... He's an excellent drifter :)

Well at Flying 5th at Bathurst last year Autostyle had 2 GTR's FLYBYE and DARDVL everybody was talking about how much power they have for so long and when race time came down Conrod Straight Both got beaten by a decent number of cars like GTiR's,A Holden Ute (winner) and almost everyday WRX's and VL turbos. Seriously with the power FLYBYE had it should of Annihalated all the cars there but it got Done.

All i see are big KW numbers on dynos but no real life good old black top 0-400M times.

No disrespect to the owners of the cars they are very nice and everything but how about instead of giving us dyno numbers give us Track numbers?

oh and i PERSONALLY think if your going to rock up to a race track with your "race" car and proudly showoff KW numbers you should also RACE IT to prove those power numbers.

8,000rpm not usable? ... doesnt that depend if they had a 13,000rpm redline or not ??? :rofl::) :)

i don't think anyone should be told how and when they should use their own cars...some people just arent comfortable bringing it onto the track, wether it be one with corners or 400m of bitch-umen :)

perhaps they dont want to expose themselves and advertise their cars? perhaps they can't afford to break anything? perhaps they are just shit scared???

whatever the case is - its their perogative.

Very true Franks,

...but it is also our perogative to feel that it's a waste of such beautiful machinery to have them sitting in the carpark of drag racing events, when that's what those cars were built to do... (What else would such a power curve be useful for? :rofl:)

mmmm each has there own ideas of what cars should and should not do .... i just build my car to perform on and off the track personally .... i couldnt build a car too have it sit there and gather dust .... hell no ..... ill be out there scaring my self around or down a track hehe bet that S@^T !!!!!

ENTYSU "i just build my car to perform on and off the track personally .... i couldnt build a car too have it sit there and gather dust .... hell no ..... ill be out there scaring my self around or down a track hehe bet that S@^T !!!!!"

I like that thinking :rofl:

Merli: I agree 100%

i know the owner of the GTiR you are referring to.

It came 2nd Overall. its teh same GTiR that made 271kw at this dyno day.

The Ute, had a big supercharger fitted. Then blew up the motor after the event.

There was some lambos that were beaten by the ute and gtir, and a ferrari....

Apparently both dardvl and flybye recorded 2 very fast times. 260kph or so?

But half way through the day the officials changed where the timing markers where.

They made them closer.

So they then 'ammended' times done before the move. So both GTRs had worse times...

This is how the owner of DAREDVL told me.

btw - I've ben to wakefield at teh same time as him too - so hes out there having a bash.

Besides all this - I spoke to my mate who came second outright that day - and knew nothing about amended figures, etc etc.

he just thought the gtrs didnt do that well.

My mate collected his trophy at the end of the day etc etc.

I do find it very hard to beleive these cars wouldnt of won that day.

they DO have the speed...

oi.

if i had 400kw at all 4 and a stock gearbox i wouldnt bloody race at wsid either.

I'm all for getting to the track more - but they can do what the hell they want.

amen to that!! unless of course youhave a replacement box and a tilt tray waiting for you. There is a certain R32 GTR i know of that has run a sub ten second pass in japan that is out here potting around with some serious hardware on it... The only problem is they can't get a box to hold up behind it and they don't have the budget for a hollinger... what a dilemna hey?!?

    • 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.
