As long as we are active enough in here then it will always be at the top of the page :P You better stay active in here even when you bail to W.Gaaaaaaaaaay! (W.A)

With members like this how can we go wrong -

I hate to break it to you kids but the reason why there aren't a lot of events or actually forums for up there is because the member base isn't big enough. This has been brought up before.. Many times.. Won't happen..

Oh and no event is an Official SAU event unless sanctioned by the club and advertised in the calendar and posted by an SAU executive.

You guys need to read the event rules before you post stuff.

Not having a dig at you guys but food for thought..

Mmmmmm food! :P

3LACK Underground has been active for a week and already has a HUGE member base for Newcastle.... They a Newcastle club that involves an performance cars but the amount of skylines they have is a hell of a lot more than we have!

Yeah we worked out the official/unofficial crap, we are still nooblets and working on it, this is only the 3rd cruise we have done so itll take a while for us to get all the lingo right :laugh:

Welcome to Newcastle DIF ;) lolz

Lol.. That's all fine but SAU NSW doesn't have the member base for it. Plus it would just end up like OG days with Westside & Northside..

That's when it becomes very segregated. Otherwise it would be us and them kinda thing.

We all just want to be one big happy family with a NSW wide events... :wub: you guys lol...

Can we get Hektic hand gestures and tag each others carz and shi7? :woot: haha

Yeah its all good, We have a good thing happening up here... There were around 20 cars at the first meet, plenty at the second and the third will involve the Central Coast guys this time so who knows :)

SAU NSW FTW :wub:

Yea there used to be a really good centy coast meet at fountain plaza where quite a few syd folk and even newy people came to went for quite a few years until some idiots started coming and got shut down :(

I remember the one! I went there in a mates 33 a few times but that hasnt been going for a LONG time.... I was a Coastie for many years :D

All good, i am sure we will work out something in the near future and try revive what has been lost hehe

all one big happy family, as long as we always come down to sydney for everything :D

theres lots of people on sau up here, just not active because the effort has never been put in up here i feel, everyone with a skyline i know says there on it but never go on because theres no point.

the import scene up here is heapsssss bigger then the illawarra one, we may need to find a maq pass version up here to get people from sydney off there ass because the maq pass cruise always draws a crowd of sydney people, and 2-3 illawarra people hahaha.

^ Edit your post man.

Take it with a grain of salt but its probably not a good idea to present exactly what security features you have in your GTR on a public forum.

yeh good point, took the link out to what it is in it, not that im sus on any of the guys that post in here but anyone is able to read this not just us didnt think about that lol.

100% compliment mate.

Well done.

Thanks :)

And also, good call on the security stuff!

Well i made just car up what my car was insured for yesterday also to cover the new engine to, cost me $7 a month more, so now im paying like $3000 a year or $250 monthly. I have to swap back to year up front its like $500 less or something stupid like that. I guess thats what i get for being 23 and owning a 34 GTR

Edited by T4NK

Yeah mate! I was 24 when i got my GTT and was paying around the same back then! Now that i have been with them for ages and am an old fart the pricing is really cheap! So it does get better!

Lol when I first had my r32 (gtst) first year was $3500.. (18 years at the time)

Poopra is <$500. My commodore is more expensive..

Haha and now you can buy one for that :P

Some of the prices are crazy when younger etc but now its not so bad.... And having it monthly helps...

That and adding all the extra's for the Excess as i figure if i crash it then it'll learn me :P

    • 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"
