LOL haha, the one time I don't go on SAU while I'm at work and I miss out on someone getting flamed other than myself.

Any summaries with regard to the content in the threads?

And I thought school holidays was finished...

That guy was a douche.

I did laugh when someone accused him of been 14 and he then justified himself by saying he is in fact 15...

I laughed pretty hard at that!!!

After the 3rd thread I reported it, it got to 9 fkn threads from my last count, was 7 then found 2 new ones, looks like Ash killed them thank god!!! What a dick!

Benji - your posts are a pain in the ass, but at least they have substance and are in English!!! This guy made you look awesome lol...

totally agree mat, shit like this gives everyone a bad name :(

I think the problem is that most people don't realise the severity of what can happen when driving at high speeds whether it be in a high performance car, or any car for that matter. A residential area is definately not the place to go fast, especially when other cars are around and other people are in your car. It's not until something goes wrong that people get a big wake up call and realise they have to pull there head in, albeit some people will never learn. It's a shame that the skyline driver choose the wrong place to try and exploit the performance of his car and put other people in danger.

I am very cautious now when I drive on public roads due to my previous experience as I have learned you are not only driving for yourself, but you're looking out for every other driver (who could well be an idiot and doing the wrong thing) on the road. I have learnt that while a track day costs a fair bit of money, at least I will be able to enjoy testing the performance of my car in a safe environment.

No, your cautious cus your in mummy's car ya goose :P WHEN you actually get to a track you can talk about being responsible...

I had an accident when I was younger that woke me up... Lucky to be here...

Yeah... I had my wake-up call in January...I'm also very lucky to be here as well.

As for Mum's car LOL. I am trying to convince her to sell the Commodore Berlina (which will command a premium in Maitland), and get a mint condition freakin' Supra RZ imported from Japan (which will hopefully mainly sit in the garage and eventually I'd be able to buy it off her). She does like the idea but thinks it will be too hard to sell a car.

Anddd my dad is driving my S15 to Wakefield for trackschool trackday on the 25th then I will be driving around the track. Hopefully John Boston sits in with me so I can learn as much as possible.

I think it was D_I_F who predicted I'd get half way around the track before I fly off, hopefully I stay on the ground.

your so wise :O

I started a long reply.... Then thought "why bother".... Benji, your killing me man.... Your probation is ok cus your not trolling BUT you are posting epic novels which are epic fail, and posting in ANY thread with the same stuff....

My advice, start a build thread.... Contain all your mods and plans in there (like others have suggested), keep the posts basic and read and learn, keep enjoying SAU... Oh and stop hitting on 14yo at Supre :laugh:

    • 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.
