Having moved to Melb in Feb, i was surprise to find just how different the place is.

In general it is all good so far, but i have to ask what is with Chappel Street? The car scene down here is much more Fast and the Furious with decals being more important then quality mods, or is it just the area/cars i have seen.

The pubs/clubs are great, and the ppl are far friendlier then in Sydney... and with the area im in there is a lot less imports getting around, and the term bogan, whilst the term was lost on me in Sydney, having seen plenty of Commodores on Chappel Street the other night...lets just say i now understand the bogan thing.

So when i get my car down next weekend, whats doin? Its been 6 weeks since i have driven the old girl, and 6 months since i have been on the track... i need a fix! :(

Im a big believer in each to their own, but even by my standards its pretty woeful/pathetic to be doing laps around Cahppel. No offence to anyone out their that enjoys it!

Im currently living between Brunswick and Lygon, happy with the location but nothing in the way of cars. Except fo the panel beater down the road that has GT3s and TVRs etc.

yes, Melbourne people are far far friendlier than their Sydney counterparts! and I found that Melbourne as a city is much nicer to be in and around compared to Sydney...

Sydney has so much.........um.........superiority complex? the people I mean....I found them to be that way anyway......no offence to any decent Sydney-ers :-)

MAS sounds like a go then.

Jamezilla... are you the same James i met at the NDSOC meeting the other week? (i was the blonde fella boring Goeff to death)

Have to say, i liked going out to the places on Chappel, just couldnt belive id walk out of a pub 3hrs later to see the same Commodore or BMW doing laps revving them up in neutral.

as an ex NSWer that moved to VIC... WHAT'S DOIN? lol I haven't heard sum1 say that in ages since I moved down... oh glorious what's doin?

As for the bogan scene... the "wogs" here aren't lebs n goat lovers, they're greeks n italians... now one half of em is into imports and the other half is into their commodores... dunno many of em into falcons.

Chapel St sucks ass... its full of excels with stickers n shit.

Black R32 could be me, I park in one of the streets between Brunswick n Nicholson (after Alexander Pde going towards the city) coz my gf lives there. I've got a GTS tho, but you can't tell unless you heard me drive off.

So whats doin is a Sydney thing then????

Hey Funkmonkey, that GTS ive seen a few times would be you then! You seem to spend a bit of time there, has she started hitting you up for board yet? :(

Every Skyline i walk by i check for SAU stickers, havent seen any yet.

KamikazeR33 ... i was down for 3 months, but i just took a full time position, hence yet another change in accomodation...something a little more long term.

Winton runs 2 to 3 days a month, prob is its on Weekdays, so ill have to sweet talk work.

Im going to head down to Calder for the drags to see what i can muster. But Calder circuit, Phillip Island or Sandown are all on my wishlist of nice fast tracks i want to try out

I don't have a sticker on my car yet, but I'll fix that up soon.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
