So here we are, drive line was going in and communication has stopped, farking cars :verymad:

Do you call or email for updates out of interest? Surely they'd give you decent updates over the phone.

Yellow stagea would be nice....oooh I just happen to have one for sale. :woot:

Always a chance that this build would go into double extra overtime. Sorry to hear you are waiting for so long.

Shit happens, maybe I have been too pushy but it is taking soooo long, I cannot stand the nothingness I get back and no one will set a date, had a vague reference to , today, haha

They send nothing, a nut would be good, so looks like it could get nasty , hope not, but shit happens :)

The trouble is they read all of this shit and I get the blame for what other blokes have said, the worst thing is, you blokes were right :/

So here we are, drive line was going in and communication has stopped, farking cars :verymad:

I think I will trade the Tiida in so I can get another fun car, 4 door something and I do not give a shit how long it takes :)

was trying to make a joke, comparing sending single nuts with sending a single finger etc....

Unfortunately humour doesn't always convey.

And if they give you a hard time about what others have said, they seem far too immature.

Lastly, I don't think you're bugging them too much considering how far over the quoted timeframe they are.

Really hoping you get your car back soon.

And if you like fuel guzzlers, buy an emo x.

Sooooooo thirsty.

Hi Luke, I did understand the nut cracker, just forgot to respond,hahahha , a bit late :)

I really think I have been too tolerant and let it go too far before I lost it, that was only yesterday when I got nothing back to about 6 emails. Same this morning ?

They actually cracked a good one and finished their last email, " The Friendly Mushroom Farmer " I got a laugh out of that, but maybe it was not supposed to be funny, not sure now :/

Talk to these blokes and you could not speak to nicer blokes ??????????????????????????? email and ----------------------- ?

It is like trying to get an answer out of a brick and I could never understand why, maybe I am too thick or a dick ??

Anyway time will tell and I will have to do whatever I can to solve the problem ?

looking at doing the exact same thing, getting rob in nz to build nitto 3.2 stroker kit, hopefully it does take as long

Hahaha, I heard Rob is pretty good and his work #1 :)

I do not expect anything wrong with the work, everything they have done for me so far has been good.

Best of luck, let us know how it goes :cheers:

Close to complete =have taken engine out.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

But Srsly, looked like it was coming along in the photos, hopefully more has been done.

Have you not heard of, Photo shopped :)

I have no idea where the build is at, 10 days ago the clutch was going in, so I figured , front diff, Trannie and that could be done in a day in this type of shop?

Getting the dump pipe ceramic coated at the moment, thought this could have been done as soon as the motor was in the car, but not sure how it works when doing this type of thing , this is what I would like to do with the farking car at the moment :bomb_ie: Wish I had kept my 350GT :(

Hahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahaha, not farken funny :)

I am paranoid enough without your help, help is the wrong word, starts with H , hindrance, yeah thats it :)

Front diff is part of the sump, and would have been done before install.

The diff was assembled about 3 months ago, I put pics up

All of the components were there ready to go in, the last thing was the trannie but that was done weeks ago, so I thought it was a simple job for professionals, maybe it is done, but I would be the last to know ??

I farking hate doing mods and will never do them again, ever!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll forget about all the bullshit and pain once it's done.

I still for the life of me don't understand the 8.5:1 comp ratio business.

they said it was a good all round combo. Did not have head work except the OS valves and a clean up, maybe a better CR for a DD???

old school thoughts of lower comp higher boost?

I had 9:1 and loved it.

So responsive off boost(which it was a bit).

Nice and easy to putter around daily.

    • 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"
