Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls i require your help, in the past few weeks i have been thinking and i have come to the conclusion, do we have a good and serious japanese car and parts importar i am considering a business such as "just ***" in sydney i cant disclose the JAPanese importas full name as for privacy rights and issues but i think you may all know who i am thinking of. i need to know would you people and other owners of japanese imports support me. honestly i am not sure wheather there is a shop similar to this in melbourne "and if so please tell me" but i think it would be a good idea. i would specialize in Half cuts, motors, gearboxes, spare panels, little interior parts and bodykits, badges and so on. everything imported everything you need. any feed back would be great i just want your opiniuon as the customer is always right.

Thank you kindly Lee.

there are a few places that do that but i think they are more spare parts wreckers, not a shop like your suggesting. its always good to have a decent spare parts supplier that wont charge you stupidly for parts. so if u do go ahead, i dunno become a sponsor on SAU, give us good prices ( maybe even discounts for sau vic members:D:D) good turn around times, and of course good service and im sure you will get business. it all comes down to marketing i guess. market yourself right and u'll be sucessful.

good lucks with it. which area are you planing to open up?? not in geelong i hope cause thats too far for me...LOL

well I already bring containers of parts down from japan, have access to wreckers etc, but I only do it on a per order basis, so when the container's full it gets shipped down. So if you need a supplier and/or logistics organiser gimme a hoot.

thank you for the reply i forgot to mention the store would more than likely be in Coburg or burwood area and yes there would be special SAU disconts espically when there are group buys

If it does go ahead, lemme know Lee if you can.

The SAU committee are interested in all that sorta stuff.

Its a good idea. Especially if you open it in Geelong :)

Seriously, a good shop that sells second hand performance gear as well as original parts will always be profitable.

Good luck!

It's about time someone in Melbourne gave the boys from Japanese Motor Sport in Adelaide a run for their money!! I'm sure you would get alot of business from the keen punters in Melb. looking for good prices on second hand big brand performance gear. All the best with the business venture!

    • 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"
