Happy with that for the 1st outing in the GTR. Pity about having to cut it short for a pesky exhaust manifold leak. . . :P

OK, just got home after competing in Round 4 NSW Supersprint at Eastern Creek. I have improved my best time and now have a fastest lap time of 1:50:3900, timed by CAMS. The car was going great and the only thing that was changed from the last outing at Eastern Creek was one of SKYLINEGEOFF'S hicas lock bars was fitted and this modification steadied the rear end and made it much more predictable. (Thanks Geoff). 2.13 secs improvement. Unfortunatly the day finished early for me when i blew a exhaust manifold gasget, but still drove the car home, 4hrs drive.

had a great time down in nsw on the tracks, wish we had tracks like that up here in queensland.

cheers russell

queensland.

Absolutely amazing times there esp considering it was your first time out...well done....straight to the top of the class I think.

Also saw that you got home 3rd in Dutton, :wavey: looks like you had a great weekend out!

OMG - well if it isn't a GTR blowing away those RWD cars in NSW!  

What is the world coming to when when the latitude theories are dispelled?

:cheers:

PS - Drunken - when are you organising the Mexican invasion?

yes, but snowman, it's not a NSW GTR... it's a northern import. perhaps those theories are restricted to NSW GTRs??. ring ins don't count...

Good times:thumbsup:

Previously all the GTRs getting around NSW had std turbs much like all the GTSTs, most mods were rtyres and susp etc, not aftermarket turbs. Interisting to see how Carlo goes when he gets his car sorted with some semis?!?!?!

The ppl spending the money are GTR owners. bullant is out there though in what looks to be a nicely sorted rwd car with good power, good susp and just well setup:)

muahahahahaha that was soooo funny.... russell you should do a search for that thread, posted by "franks" if I remember.....

Team Trackday is pretty quiet up here at the moment.....but my car should be on the road fairly *soon* maybe we can convince everyone to get out again......

hi guys

thanks for your comments, the car went great and we had a blast.

that was before the second last stage when we shit the engine after blowing a heater hose and cooking it!! oh well good time to put forgies in it i suppose.

btw thanks duncan for the attessa controller it worked a treat! highly recommended.

hope i can get around to some sprint days with you guys, but not till after next rally . too busy rebuilding! :D

cheers russell

Russell - "next rally" - does that mean you are competing in Dutton Vic as well since I think you've done QLD and NSW already? If so we already have a group of 4 cars entering for Vic so we'll have to catch up.

I presume Simmo kicked ass in the EVO in NSW again btw?

yes we are really trying to get to vic dutton rally, simmo did an outstanding job again.

he came 1st outright co driver and 1st outright team.

the driver with me (as i was co driving) won 1st outright driver of the event.

which was a bit of an upset beating martin nortorias, the car ran 10.852 down the 1/4 at w.s.i.d which turned a few heads. had an absolute blast.

definately will catch with you when we get there, i hope all the gtr's give them

something to think about.

Cheers Russell

330kw's my ass then! LOL

If you make it - our little group have already been given numbers 65,66,67 and 68. Not sure how they do it in NSW and QLD but they split us up into 2 groups of 40 in Vic. When we put or entries in they had no problems putting us together in the same group so we could have some fun together for the weekend. So if you want to you can ask Anthony or Sam to put you in our little group as well.

My car is the least powerful of the GTR's at 325rwkw's. So we'll be ready to join in the GTR assult on Dutton Vic. However, one of our little group is driving an imported STi RA and I have a feeling he's going to kick all of our asses. But we'll see.

But don't expect Martin and Simmo to have it all their own way in Vic. They sure didn't last year.

Hi Andrew

Sounds like it should be great fun, 330 kws at four wheels is what the dyno said.

but we hace straight cut gearbox which has definately helped gear change times.

all the gtr's down there should be great, i have driven an ra sti the are shit hot for handling and getting power down! :cheers:

yes they did sound checks in queensland! and i almost got told to go away! they werent as bad in nsw but my car was alot quieter for that event 95db. i know a porsche got pulled up for noise in nsw dutton.

looking forward to it!

Russell

    • 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.
