Leave the poor guy alone. I would also be very edgy after everything he has gone through with this car.

True. Sorry mate.

Sometimes a bit of friendly banter gets taken the wrong way if your not in the right frame of mind.

But the main thing is that Pete beat the Tiida .... That's the main thing even at 10000 rpm. Would have sounded awesome.

Bit angry today Pete

No mate, its all good fun :)

I have never said I was any type of gun driver, I just like cars :wub: had a 911 and a TT300zx I used to push a bit, but I was a kid, 50 year old.

Everyone has their preferences , mine is a car that dives like a street car, one that has a bit of grunt from down low.

Do not need 3000 idle Ben, is that how you blokes do it. Me at 2500rpm and want to get it going in any gear drop down 1 gear and away you go, LOL

But serious it is great on the twisty stuff, so much fun. Not sure you could do the same on tight one lane roads with a T88 or something else that gives you 700 or 800 peaky HP, but I can only guess as I do not drive fast GTRs , just my heap :)

My car is the best fun you can have sitting down, well , a lap dance maybe ?

True. Sorry mate.

Keep the banter coming mate, that is what makes the Forum fun, farken love it :banana:

Have you got your car back yet Pete?

Not yet James, had an email this morning saying it looks like the leak has been fix but they will do some more tests over the next couple of days to be sure .

Not sure if they will be doing a new Dyno graph , soon see I guess ?

Things are looking up :)

At 70, I hope to be a much much more bitter and twisted old man than you. Pretty sure I am now at half of 70.

Oh don't worry mate , I was very bitter and twisted at 70 but now I am 73 I have matured , guess it comes with age , LOL

Just thinking to myself.... I feel more anxiety over and your car in than my own. Ha ha. Ha. Might have to drive up from Melbourne so you can take me for a spin when you get it back.

HAHA, that's why I have chilled, I left the anX to you. I lie , I had / have enough anxiety for the both of us. It's been a long 9 months :)

And it's not over :/

They are probably just putting the head back on now pete, takes more than a few days to strip a motor again, lol... :ph34r: apprentice stuffed up again..

Thanks Mark, now my head is exploding thinking about anther 5 months getting the motor re built :bomb_ie:

No problems, I will be picking it up VERY soon and looking forward to a little spirited driving to see how it is running :)

Got a date for pickup? Good RB30 blocks are getting harder to find.

They are going to do a few more tests and I should know by Friday :)

Just hope I got one of the good ones, they did all sorts of tests on my RB30 block, like below

ENGINE MACHINE WORK INCLUDING HOT TANK BLOCK, ACID

WASH , BORE AND HONE , BALANCE ENGINE COMPONENTS.

DECK BLOCK, MACHINE BLOCK FOR O/S HEAD STUDS,

MACHINE WORK FOR AWD ADAPTOR AND ENGINE BRACE KIT.

MACHINE SUMP RAIL TO TRUE UP ENGINE BLOCK.,RELIEVE ENGINE BLOCK FOR 3.2LTR STROKER ENGINE.

1.000 SONIC TEST AND XRAY ENGINE BLOCK TO TEST FOR SUITABLITY

Sounds like they did their best

    • 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"
