just had a thought, it would be easier for you to come over here with your one car and cruise with us, than for us to come with our many cars....

where's your sense of adventure? it's only ~3500kms...call it SAU's biggest cruise. :woot:

Plus my car already was over on your side..i'm even still rocking with nsw number plates. :yes:

The guys for the SAU Nationals did it! So you have no excuse :P

funniest shit today, i call it... using a sv6 as a work ute, FAIL!

weve had construction on our rail tracks out the back and they keep driving there work vehicles over the tracks so there tools are closer, today they had a big dumper thing in to rip out all the dirt around a stretch of rail and fill it with ballast (basically rocks the size of your fist) so its stronger when locos go past.

so come 315 when the construction team is getting ready to go home and an sv6 drives over the rail when we got locos coming and the big dumper thing still right in front of him. scraps his front bar on the rail, and balast. then gets 1 rear wheel over the rail and 1 wheel outside the rail like on a diagonal, he then gets stuck in the middle of the tracks and starts single pegging on the ballast and cant move hahahaha f**kin holdens.

we got the idiot out :P

Sucks to be him

But doesn't matter what car it is they are all the same

Was doing a delivery at Woy Woy today and had to back in the driveway at the store as you do but because the pack of sheets was right at the back I had to stop short and block the entry/exit so they could get it with the forklift as there is a drain a bit further back.

the crappy forklift the store uses would get stuck on the drain if I backed the truck right in

I exit truck undo straps drop gates ready for the forklift when this muppet in a beat up Falcon ute basically parks on the footpath in front of the truck then gets the shits cause the truck is in the way

Could have easily parked next door but for some reason he leaves the ute on the footpath and blocks everyone

f**kin idiot

have dropped the price to 16500 and theres still f**k all interest, have it on ebay and have got a few people asking what the reserve is and as soon as they hear it they dont write back, have gotten an offer of a v8 statesman hahaha.

whats going on ay, its like the 6th cheapest on carsales.

car scene is DEAD!!!!

theres 5.5 days left on the ebay add with 40 watchers so hopefully someone has more then 8 grand.

hahaha yeah i wouldnt sell yours either, lots more blood sweat and tears in yours!

...maybe not tears, im a bitch. hahahahahahahah

not even getting low ballers so i thinks theres just f**k all buyers. everyone is way to responsible now days, drove to rajs corner and got so many looks in the 5 mins, take off those collars ya whipped bastards.

maybe i should put sticker on car...

The best way to deal with the 3 head retards in woywoy is to hit them till the stop moving then kill them with fire. ur doing the world a favor by doing this also

True

Yesterday I'm down there and twice I had p platers try and drive around the truck while I'm reversing into stores

How hard is it to wait 30 secs and let a big f**k off truck get out of the way instead of risking a lot of damage to your car

whos organising the next cruise and where to? its either martin or chookies turn to organise, unless someone else would like to have a turn and choose a route theyd like to show everyone?

u may have to stay home for the next cruise if u sell ur car mate.is anyone from newy goin to the top secret car meet at eastern creek on friday night?

    • 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.
