OK, started 3weeks ago when my friend had her baby, no that sounds good but it all went done hill from there....

MONDAY: i was driving past calvry hosipital on my way to work(Manuka if u didn't know) and a guy runs out in front of my car (I was driving the sprinter) he then darts into the next lane and get's collected by a nice 2003 model 318i BMW, seen i have done my first aid and also the first person on scene i offer my assistence to the collected person, he was alive, just, and moaning about why he haddn't died, i asked him what he had just done, why, who he was, the usal to try and keep him alive, and he just told me that life sucked and he wanted to kill himself! few min's later ambo arrive with 2 cop cars, answered all questions, continued to work 2hours late. stayed at work till home time (5am) and went home to bed, the next few days where univentfull (thank god) as i was alittle shaken up.

FRIDAY: my friend danny writes off his sisters non-turbo R33. wasn't paying attention and ran up the back of a VT commy wagon

SATURDAY: My friend who had the baby send me an SMS stating that her baby died at 13:30hrs due to lack of oxygen to the brain and that the SIDS team will be investigating everything that happend in the last week.

SUNDAY: while at work i found that ANOTHER friend had 3 teeth knocked out while he was at work (he's a cheif) and now has braces

NEXT: friday i find that the skyline need's a new raidatior as this one has a blow top tank seal, car comes off road, start driving sprinter again.

SUNDAY: i drive to work fine, cold but fine (sprinter has no heater) i finish work at 5am and walk down to my car to find that somebody elso thought that all my nice stereo gear would look better in there car than mine and stole it all, JVC deck, s12 alpine sub in box and an F1 amp. plus all my CD's (bout 200 or so)

SO hear i sit at 6.20am about to break down into a pile of dust.

question

by cheif do mean chef or do u mean correctional officer..........?

kinda weird if hes a chef but if hes a CO then its kinda understandable and a down side of the job that we face.

sorry to hear about your bad run of luck there sprinter boy, theres a light at the end of the tunnel bud u just have to find it.

hey mate, really sorry to hear that!!! life just gets like that sometimes hey? why dont you come out with us on saturday night and relax, knock back a few cold ones and just chill for the evening? it'd do you the world of good.

where abouts was your car when ur audio gear got flogged? i take it you dont have an alarm?

but keep your head up and push on, the darkest time of night is just b4 the dawn.

Thank you guys, it's nice to know i have people i can talk to when shit hits the fan seeing i've had so much bad luck of late my friend tells me i'n in for some good Karma and i should go by a LOTTO ticket.

I think i'll be out on saturday, where u guy planning on going? but first i need to fix one of my cars so i can drive around without A. cooking the skyline or B. having smothing else stolen from my car(no that there is anything left)

CS_180 yea sorry he's a cook, i'm not the world best speller.

Blu print- u smoke alot of cigarettes, u go for long drives and try to not think to much, u drink a few, and then u go home and have a cry. thats how u cope, u wake up and say hay! i made it, now, what elae can go wrong? nothing, beaut, off to work.

check out the post in the events section, there are a fair few of us going to APK in woden at 8 on saturday night for dinner etc..

if your within cooee of my place i'm more than happy to be ur ride, u obviously need a good night out so whatever i/we can do to help.

what suburb r u in?

That's no good mate but sadly life is like that. Just as the others said, don't lose hope that things will get better. They have a way of working out even when you don't expect it.

Anyways, good luck! and buy that Lotto ticket!

aww you poor thing :rofl:

that's a heap of stuff to happen to one person!!

hope your friend who lost her baby is getting thru things ok - and by that i realise it will never be "ok", but i hope she realises that there's places she can turn for support and help. And if she wants to talk to you, don't feel like you have to be her counseller, just listen. It might be all she needs, a friend to listen while she lets out emotions.

anyway, we're all here if you need us..and yeah definately get a lotto ticket cos with all that bad news you're in for a few years of good stuff now :)

Justin, hang in there buddy.

You've helped somebody, been there for your friends losses and the cars can be fixed.

Losing a baby is a terrible thing, but everything else can be turned into a positive. We should be thankful for having such an upstanding forum member. If we thought things were a bit down in our lives, well you've shared something with us that says "hey, it could be worse, but it isn't the end either".

You've got lemons a'plenty mate, so maybe Shell can help with some tequila. Take care.

Veilside R33- I'm in mckellar (belconnen) i was out on saturday, got pissed, had some fun, the skyline only cost $170 to fix as i did most of the work myself, but i highly recomend Renner radiators in fyshwick, they did a great job and it was 24hr turn around.

There is a new look on the sprinter now, and i have the security tape at home, i can see the little ****'s busting into my car good, just need to get the plate now and heads will roll.

Last, i'm going to wakefield NEXT MONDAY (9th) anybody wanna come?

And thankyou for all your help everybody, i will have to meet u all soon, we should do a beer 0'clock one day so everybody can come see, have a few drinks, maybe take away food or something?

    • 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"
