Screw you and your 34 gtr(I'm jelly).

But good to hear it's making progress.

My cranks ready, but I've no cash currently due to selling house and associated costs.

Yeah, guess they are making progress, so was the Titanic!

You should say you lost the cheque from the sale, cash it and take the money and run, pick up the new crank on the way out of town :)

Crank was all good?

Have used sop plenty of times.

I'm bordering between youth and age, so get most of what's going on.

For now.....

I'm bordering between old age and the box :) I wish it was a softer box and I would not mind going in there, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

Trouble is, driving the car was my daily rush and started my day off with a bang after I got the girls off to school .

Knees and shoulders have been stuffed for a while, so no golf and SFA to do at home, well apart from normal house work. I am Mr Mom :)

Cannot wait to get it back and I hope it is everything I think it will be and all will be good again.

Nothing like the feel of power at the touch of your foot, the excitement of being thrust back in the seat and hoping you do not stuff the next change, just thinking about it got me excited , nearly cracked a boner, then I passed out, Fark old age, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

You would make someone a good wife, with this, " I told you so shit",haha

Good news mate, hope it is all good, get some pics going on your thread, maybe some vids , get Paul or Mick to drive it, dont want you farking it up again before you can get some happy snaps, haha

I'll put some pics up now :)

Well, if Slowly Slowly gets the job done, this one should be done sometime in the future???

They have been rooting around with the oil pickup and cradle over 2 weeks. I used to make Proto Type tubular products and if I was in that industry and could not do that and the cradle mods from scratch in a day, I would sack myself. If I had done the work before and knew I would be doing it again,I would have made a template so I could do it in quickly. With a small tube bender, in minutes for the bend shapes, cut the ends off the old pickup, weld the ends back on the new bends and done, of course you must do it precisely so it ends up where you want it too. Make a jig and it is the same every time :)

I just could not comprehend that if you give a company all of the components 2 months before they tell you to drop the car off, then give you a 6-8 week build time and 19 weeks later, this is as far as they have got and going on the previous time frames for the work done, it could still take them ???????????????????????????? :(

The other work was done on time and at the price quoted , more than happy with the results :)

I know, "you all told me so" , I just could not believe that people in business can be so full of shit and remain in business if they treat their customers like this??????????

These people are something else, they are like mushroom farmers, we are the mushrooms.

The Mushroom :rant:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • 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"
