Ok guys, all finalised today.

Date: 23/10/2004

Time: 9am till afternoon

Venue: Protek - 273 Dundas Street, Preston (will get the number tomorrow as i forgot)

Price: $40 This will drop if we get more than 25 cars.

This is a 4WD DYNO - Perfect for GTR Owners to pit against the RWD counterparts

Ok, this is going to be very simple. This will not run like other SAU-Vic Dyno Days.

There is a new process due to people not backing up thier keyboards and showing to these events.

Thus causing dyno operators to be out of pocket for thier time.

If you wish to run, you must Pay in Advance, no refunds will be given out if you "sleep in".

Might sound harsh, but its only fair to Protek, and other people who can stick to a time.

I will have a spreadsheet of timeslots from 9am onwards, in 20 mins blocks.

* All payments required by the 16th Oct

* First to pay, gets to pick thier preferred time

* There is ample time to pay, I think there is:

1) One general meeting.

2) The Warburton cruise.

3) I'll put my account details up when i know what they for EFT's.

* I can just allocate you a time if you want to specify a few hours range :)

More details to come in the next two days.

Any rubbish posts will be deleted, and warnings dealt out if you whore my thread :D

Great to see the dyno day is finalised!!!!

With that said I'm definetly in!!!!

People, remember this is a 4wd dyno, so you guys out there with GTR's, there is no excuse for not coming along!!!!!

Oh by the way, Protek Automotive 273 Dundas Street Preston PH. 94843117....

I'm in, never been to a dyno day (never had my car on a dyno...yet) Getting a tune on Thursay. Should be good to see the discrepancy if any between dynos. I will make payment on the cruse. Does that mean I get to select a time now? If so I will take 11am'ish :mad:

ash, i can transfer money as soon as you give details but my only issue is that i have cricket that afternoon so would prefer an early time (cricket starts at 12:30pm) if that is ok..? like 9:30-10:00 or so... if this can be arranged then i'm a definate... you can have my balls as insurance :) (my girlfriend has them at the moment just go see her)

since the last dyno day i've fixed my pinging, added 3" exhaust and rechipped ECU so should be interesting...

thanks again ash!

Warren.

Try putting it in the normal Vic section for a while (even though it does not belong, I'm sure more ppl will look at the thread). I never used to look at the events section (just habbit I suppose)

Remove reply if required.

Would they be willing to give the SAFC a quick tweak, should it require it? Wasn't the next dyno day suppose to be at ICE?

not really 20 min per car has been allocated.

Thats enough time to get them on, off, strapped and have a few runs etc.

If you want to buy two slots, you might be able to have some tuning time as it takes longer. But then you'd have to pay for Dom to tune it if he wants to.

So its unlikely but i can ask.

And the next dyno day was never "going" to be @ ICE.

There was discussions, but its not a good time for the at present and thats fine.

Maybe later this year or next.

Ash, is this 'members only'?  

if you are lacking numbers my mate with a TX5 turbo might be very interested and would pay in advance also. i'm assuming 4WD dyno's can do FWD cars?

This is not SAU specific. Just an SAU hosted event.

That said, priority goes to Skylines.

Seeing as though we are struggling for cars, due to a dyno day not too long ago anyhow, its open to anyone.

We need another 5-10 cars before this will go ahead.

i recently went to a dyno day there. Personally i'm not attacking the business but they didn't seem that professional, i.e the cars didn't have ANY play on the dyno which if you know a thing or two about strapping the car down, it SHOULD have some play. The readings were kind of higher than most dynos other people had been on and also half the cars they couldnt run due to problems with the wheels slipping on down gearing which I believe was due to teh way the cars were strapped down.

The WRX club also had a few problems/higher readings there if you check out their forums as well as the 300 club.

Hope you guys don't cop the same stuff and it turns out to be a good day.

    • 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.
