Jumped into the shower once and looked up and was a HUGE huntsman on the roof, anyways kept my eye on it and the ****ING thing fell off the roof, ran through the house naked and into my room and wouldnt come out.

:cheers: :bahaha:

When I lived in brisbane we were playing hide and go seek at my dads house, I remember running around the side of the house straight into a spider web.. had some big long legged spider stuck on my face.. all I remember was running around the back yard screaming and trying to rip my face off :Oops:

Also at my mums place in brisbane, I woke up covered in a spider web, big fat spider just kicking back on my chest, and the ceiling was covered in baby spiders that had hatched over night.. I froze up and could move could yell out for some one.. luckly a couple seconds later my mum walked past my door and saw what was going on and ripped me out of my bed.. so ever since that day I havent been able to look at a picture of a spider without getting a chill up my spine.. so I would say I have eaten more than 8 spiders in my life... probably more than 8 spiders in one night!!

yeah this thread is hell funny.

I have a spider story aswell. This happened in my daily driver a VL commodore. It was a bout 3 weeks after my schoolies, and as everyone knows the time between schoolies and starting uni is party central, was the best 3 months or so of my life. Went to a party on monday night, my friends and I met these chicks who were going to be staying at Stradbroke Is for a week. They invited us to come stay with them.

On the tues we were running late (hungover something chronic) at my mates place packing all out shit into his car, I move mine out onto the street, get my stuff out of the boot and load it ino the car, as I turn back I see something "fall" from the tree above my car into the boot. When I go over to shut the boot, I see a ****off big Huntsman (a common trend it seems) sitting on the carpet in my boot. So what do I do??? shit myself and jump a few feet back, The boys are yelling at me to get in the car cause we are late blah blah.

In a moment of indecision, I say **** that spider shit too hungover to deal with it now, we are late and I hate spiders, don't wanna keep the chicks waiting. So I stupidly slam the boot shut thinking that it couldn't get anywhere now could it???

Came back 5-6 days later. Totally forgot about the spider...until I jumped into my car. The inside was completely covered in web. Between the front and back seets from the roof to the seats, seats to windscreen, it was all a massive web. I freaked. There was no way I was getting back in the car. Mates dad came out/half the street did aswell. Cleaned out all the web and told me that it had probably just ****ed off by now and not to worry. One mate had to get home, and I had to drive him. He was not scared of spiders and told me that he saw it run out of the car earlier *coughs bullshit under my breath* . I finally got into the car. everything was sweet as until we stopped at an intersection.

I felt something like a piece of string dangling against my hand/forearm. Thought nothing of it for a second then freaked cause I knew what it was without even looking at my arm (cause I didn't wanna see it sitting there). Problem was I really lost it, in the middle of an intersection, The spider had crawled up the steering collum and jumped onto my arm. When I felt it there I threw my arm up and the spider hit the roof and landed on my back (cause I was diving out of the car). I did the full "man on fire drop and roll" kinda thing. I was screaming and doing army rolls across the intersection trying to get the ****en thing off me. Stood up and started slapping to my head and generally trying to pull out my hair/face off.

People have lost it at the other side of the intersection, everyone is pissing themselves one guy kicked his door open and was rolling on the ground laughing kinda trying to do my army roll thing...smart ass.

Others are coming over to me to see WTF is going on. Meanwhile the light has gone green and my mate is trying to get me back in the car. ****ed if I was getting back in. Told him to take his lying spider loving ass home in my car and I would sit there till his bro came and picked me up in his parents car.

One of the most embarrassing days of my life.

oh man... HUGE HUNTSMAN LURKING IN MY ENGINE BAY.

saw it on the bonnet and crawl into the engine bay when i was walking to my car at a friends place. we both started crying like little girls. after gathering much courage i jumped into the car ready to cane it at fullboost and hopefully burn the spider somewhere in the engine bay. panting and crying i boot the car down the street and BANG, iintercooler pipe blew off. i was about 500m from my friends house on the main road, i call him out and we flag down another car to help us open the bonnet because of the lurking spider. sure enough, open the bonnet and its sitting on the latch and runs down behind the front mount. we scream like girls. we look like idiots, on the side of the road with hazards on, people trying to overtake while were poking at the front mount with a 3m long branch... the guy that helps me is so nice he even unscrews my front bar for me and sure enuff its sitting right next to the disconnected IC pipe. finally flick it onto the floor, put the pipe back on, bolt the front bar on, close the bonnet and have the most insecure drive home.

waxxing my car 2 days later and theres a fat huntsman on the front bar. i just cried, same one or different? im not sure. haven't driven the skyline for 2 weeks, forced to drive the supra. i bet theyre even inside the car having cralwed thru the grommet in firewall or vents. I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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"
