I DO like the occasional non descript stuff so thats what im tryin to find.. cluey t-shirts, nice dress tops, maybe some jeans whatever .. shieeet that when i come back to sydney some random hottie will come up to me and be like "hi nice clothes can i suck you off?" then ill be like "yeaa thats the true beauty you're seeing and its the best way to get to know me".. then ill punch bob in the eye and jump out the window with my cape.

WOOO best adventure EVARRRR.

Ahahaha, you have a VERY vivid imagination...

krzysiu - As for the hook turn i think meggala will have to demonstrate first - I've heard about it.. seen it.. i still dont get it.

Reminds me of an episode of Pizza where the boys take a trip to Melbourne, and run into Nick Gianopolis as a Taxi Driver, :D

ROFL! Hook turns! They crack me up, had a friend from SA here, she thought I was trying to kill us!

It's really pretty simple when u see it. On green you enter the intersection and in the left lane and wait in front of the stopped traffic untill your lights go amber, you then look to see that traffic flow has stopped and turn right like the pic shows once the stopped traffic has a green. Good luck!

HAH thats EXACTLY what I thought of too.. "dont you know bloody hook turn you sydney poofta bloody!" haha made me cack so hard.

Thanks greatly for the diagram+picture adz.. that's priceless mate I appreciate that very much.

So.. lemme get this straight.. your stopped at the lights (diagram guy 1) light goes green.. you hook it left.. stop (diagram guy 2).. then another light somewhere goes amber (I assume from red) and you continue your turn (diagram guy 3) ?

LMAO nice pics and illustrations... yeah i shit myself when i first came to melbourne... i was like.. "OMG what the **** are u doing!!!"

then i was like... "thats retarded"

Yup pretty much spot on. The light you'll see go amber is the one in front of you and it go's amber from green just like normall. You just have to sit there in front off the stopped cars and watch the lights in front of you, once you see it go amber you can look behind and in front of you, if the traffic has stopped then you sweet to go.

Just one word of warning though, don't just assume they have stopped when it go's amber, more than likely some d|ckhead will put the foot down through the amber light and T-bone you so be carefull but in the end I bet you'll find it's eaaasy.

I'm confused now.

Is the purpose of the hook turn to get you behind the people who cued across the intersection?

I think ill watch first.. sounds stoopider the more I think about it. O_o

ha.. you got sucked in by the "other airport black hole for tourists" - just because its in Victoria doesn't mean its anywhere near the city or civilization as we know it. Its like boganville except a bit worse..

no its too confuse people from other states/countries into killing them selves

:D its so funny because its true.. haha

You are better off walking too, as you'll get a speeding fine soon as you even get into a car - its a new "Get in your car Tax" Bracks is introducing, in conjunction with the "new -20km/hr speeding tollerance" for any given speed sign.. Its great stuff - but can be tricky to work out :D

As far as I know, the hook turn is there so you don't stop tram traffic that is travelling the same way as you.

Behold my MS Paint skillz:

pg1.jpg

See, if you turn like you normally would, you stop tram traffic from continuing on through the intersection, thus ****ing things up quite considerably. They sit there going "ding ding ding ding ding ding" .... etc until you move the **** out of the way.

Predator - LOL. i'll feel right at home sounds like sydney.

Just outta interest why do you say I'm goin to the bogan airport? I thought the qantas/jetstar one is the bogan one and the virgin one is the good one?

Oh dear.

[edit: well you got me scared so i checked which airport I am at - Melbourne International Airport, Virgin Blue Terminal, Airport Drive, Melbourne VIC 3045, Australia]

Thanks Chubb ROFL love your eleet skills.. it actually makes sense its what i was thinking but forgot about the trams.

    • 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"
