Damn Lauren :grouphug:

So sorry to hear it. Glad you are okay and that the other person isn't too badly hurt. Man that sucks.

Glad it doesn't sound too bad for your beast, i'm sure you'll be back in action in no time.

Wishing you the best.

Dave

and hey look on the bright side if they do write the car off you can pull a dan_the_man and get a gtr :rofl:

Good advice Troy - worked for me as well:D

But from what I hear its not bad - so you will be back on the street soon enough.

Good luck & let me know if you need some help with your sore chest...

Sorry to hear about the accident Lauren.

Don't let it get you down, it'll just make you stronger (and a lot wiser).

Best wishes for all those involved.

P.S. sorry about the avatar, it seems a little inappropriate for this thread :).

yep day three and i think im just begining to realiseexactly how much organising its going to take to get the car back to its former glory ..... and i just realised i didnt put the bodykit down as an aftermarket extra on the policy *gulp*

Filled out all my insurance forms today ...... excess is only $500 so im lucky with that.

Back at work ...... neck is still killing me as is chest :)

Buuugggerrrrr :(

Sorry to hear Niz, glad you're okay apart from the aches and pains.

As with everyone else that has posted I hope all works out well with car etc.

This what i get for not being in the office for the last couple of days, I had no idea that this had happened.

Once again, hope you're over the aches soon and I'll hopefully see you on Monday :)

yeah eveything happens when your not here simon - we plan it that way :(

If you go near Stoneham St on the weekend ...... you'll see a big black set of tyre marks .... they belnog to me :)

Just got back from the UK and faaaarrrkkk, that's not the sort of news I like to catch up on. :) Sorry to hear.

In racing , any crash you can walk away from is a good one.

As the rest, glad to see my favourite 6ft blonde is OK and cars can be fixed.

* Ken looks at photo of Targa 2001 GTR and sobs...*

Cheers

Ken

yeah it can be fixed but im just considering selling it anyway ....... think i should give up on cars its just costing me too much money and keeping me in debt and i still havent been able to do what i want with it and i dont think it will ever let me have enough money to spend on go fast bits ...... i think i might just sell it and use the money for a house deposit.

    • 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"
