Hi Everyone,

Let me start by, I do not wish to offend anyone without a GT-R. I usually do 3-4 cruises a year and have been doing Cruises for the last 11-12 years.

This is the first time I would like to do a GT-R Only cruise. Why? One of my favorite cars of all time are GT-Rs so it has been on my bucketlist.

So it is strictly GT-R Only (Sorry non GTR owners)

If you wish to come or know someone wanting to come who has a GT-R (32, 33, 34 or 35) then you have two options:

1) Email me ([email protected]) and I will keep you updated via email.

2) Add me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/b333fy) and I will invite you to the Facebook event.

RAIN = CANCEL! Safety is always #1 Priority. if it is cancelled/postponed etc it will clearly stated on Facebook or an email will be sent out.

No Wreckless driving will be tolerated!

We have about 12 GTRs going so far and about 7 maybes .. would be nice to get 20 confirmed (if possible).

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Regards

Brandon

It is more dangerous to drive in the rain even if you are just doing the speed limit. The whole experience of a cruise like this is also capturing the day maybe via photos/videos.

Photos do not look the best in a rainy, gloomy day. Also people get lazy and you get a worse turnout on a rainy day then if the day is a nice one.

I have always cancelled cruises if it rains. It is a rule of mine!

I do not promote wreckless driving but at the end of the day I cannot enforce them to stop. I can report them or ask them to leave.

and ... most times I hear from someone else by this time it is too late as all I can do is make a note and not permit them to come next time.

Trust me rain = cancel is in everyones best interest.

Btw, what is your concern? what brought that question on? Have you heard anything bad about me/GTCC?

Sorry guys. Been very busy with work.

I am going to say its a go ahead .. well at least to the meet spot. We can decide collectively to continue if weather is bad.

If you wish to get the details please email me. To avoid too many gate-crashes I am not going to post the meet details publicly. Just email me [email protected] and I will email you the meet details.

The meet will be @ 8:30 am leave at 9am .. It should finish approx 1pm but this is a new route for the GTCC so not 100% sure.

Maps will be provided @ the meet spot. CB Radios for those that wish to use them. Please make sure you check your tyre pressure etc, please come with a full tank of petrol.

Camera's is a great idea to capture some nice pics.

whats the point of having coilovers when its still jacked up?

i can be a smartass too. but im just saying its always twisties and im not risking a wombat through my front bar

hmm. Well I suppose there is a chance though as I said been doing cruises for 12 years and not seen one yet.

I did run over a snake once.

I suggest email me, come to the meet and make up your mind.

    • 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"
