Congrats Leech. You did buy a very nice car. We do belive it realy is a grade 4.5 but it was a tuff Auction and it only got a 4. Most of the cars in here wouldnt be this good of condition. We belive it will be here in 3 weeks time and only a couple of weeks after it should be complied. I hope you are still happy with your car.

Someone told me you had posted this up on the net so I thought Id have a look.

Regards Zac.

hehe thanks all and yea zac i am heaps happy with it ultimatly as you know i would like to have paid a little less but thats cause i am a tight arse lol as the when you told me the price i was like :) a bit more than what i wanted but now i am thinking i dont mind paying the little extra if its exactly what i want which it seems to be so WOOT for me and my new car hehe hopefully will have it not to long...

again great job to svi so far :) they have done everything right and put up with my constant annoying calls.

also thanks to all the nice comments appreciate them :)

yea aurora damn it i was doing alright till they sent me these pictures now i am like skyline skyline skyline haha damn it and yea kamikaze it does have ABS not sure about a boost controller looks more like a turbo timer to me actually after looking at it again.

Car looks very tidy mate! Congrats on getting a black Series II. Nice cars :D Can't wait till i get mine, but i got it a bit worse, i don't get to drive mine till late november :P. Ah well, least it'll be in the garage to drool over.

Very nice indeed though!

My mum wishes she'd helped me pay for my car so she could drive it more, she loves it, no shit, grabs for the keys first chance she gets. Which is pretty cool, cause she's buying me Injectors and a fuel pump for my 21st. Going to have to re-spray my car soon, it was almost unique once upon a time, now there'll be 4 black series 2's about. Best looking colour, but a PAIN to keep clean, wait and see guys :)

Tell your Mum to throw caution to wind and BUY a Skyline....

I did!!!!!

Opposite happens with me - my 18yo son is always comin' up with excuses to take mine out for a drive. 16 yo daughter already thinks she will be getting driving lessons in the Skyline - I think NOT......

Way coolest Mum - I often get that :);)

im still yet to see another black series II in the flesh, so to speak. Im south side, rarely even see series II's out here full stop. Ah well. and my mum already wants to take my car out for a spin even tho i dont have it yet :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
