Yeah just a bolt on cooler.

Thanks for your help mate, mine should be coming in the mail today and I might be able to have it together tonight.

After doing 3 days worth of dishes and watering the lawn :(

Well see :P

Good luck with it man! You've got until Saturday night! I was down covered in E85 this morning getting things sorted, the billet filter is clean..... Fuel pump coming out tonight for a check :/

Haha good stuff man, just don't drink any!

It won't take me to long, it's just refitting the front bar will take a little while. Everything else is done just gotta fill it with oil eeeep

LOL Ocsober so NO E85 this month haha

Dude, front bar = 2 cable ties and 2 10mm screws :P

Should really run inner guards again one day but until the car is sorted ill just keep em off :P

Engine not in car yet, getting a bit nervious about it being ready for the cruise, told them im coming to pick it up friday after lunch.

Keep in contact with them regularily without getting to the point where they get the shits...... I've been on the side where your chasing but ALSO been on the side of being chased, there is a limit you can take and it gives you the shits after a while BUT i like your dedication, we all want the car to make it for ya :thumbsup:

I have been waiting around 3 months now i think, there. has to be a limit on how long u can take to rebuild an engine but yeh, im just getting a bit fed up with all the small setbacks

That's fair enough tho mate

f**k yeah, got everything fitted and tight and took her for a run, peak hour traffic then some red lines in a 100 zone, did not hit over 90 degrees (first line on gauge) farkin winning!!!

in other news, is benji being less of a douche because hell be perma banned or because hes cottoned on that we dont like him being a douche?? if its the second one, well done benji, i may come to accept you as an sau newcastler if you keepup your nonstupid posts and trolling!

R34's are a bit too fancy for my liking...

My favourite Nissans are the S13 and R32 GT-R.

S15 is also too fancy for me, as it feels way too new for my liking.

Thinking of just selling S15 soon, as so tempted to replace it with an S13 (would import one from Japan).

Old chassis's such as S13 and R32 GTR make things seem a lot faster.

Sil80 is one of my favorite cars for sure!

Your s15 would be a lot quicker though.

Later model car would be much better for daily use too! Benji just stick to what your doing with the car :)

Good work J-Rad... If you have time come over Saturday and help get some of these cars sorted for the cruise :D As i have to do a few things on mine now too :P

Updated the cruise list the best i could, there is still some unknowns and not everyone turns up to cruises they say they will so who knows :)

    • 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"
