i worked the night before too so i would have been dead to the world!

Spotted today around 8.15am in Brisbane near the Marriott (Elizabeth st?): Black S2 with heaps of dish on the rear wheels (RSV maybe?). I was sitting at a cafe, but the driver would have driven past my V35 parked pretty much in front of the Marriott...

Spotted Alex's stagea (CL11QE) parked on the main street of Richmond earlier today whilst I was driving around.

ooooh yumm, have to make a note to try them next time I'm out that way.

I was going to honk on the way past the second time but your windows were up and i wasn't sure how close by you were to the car.

Haven't seen mine in over 3 weeks - hoping it will be ready today.

Spotted a white S1 (I think) 260RS on Mt Tamborine on Sunday, around lunch time: not sure if the owner is on here.

Looked for either of Hugh's while I was up there, but to no avail.

You wont see the RS Four yet. Still waiting for the mech to do CV boots. 25G is usually at the Gallery between 10 and 4.

Oh, I forgot to mention I saw a glimpse of a white C34 heading West on Parramatta Road last Sunday - it was around 5.45PM, but I can't even remember what suburb I saw it in. I think it was between Strathfield and Leichhardt, but not sure. I was a passenger in my cousin's car heading into Enmore.

Spotted Nick (GoldZilla) last night at the Berowa Truckstop. Nice to meet you. Your car is very tidy. I will bring my Stagea next time for sure.

Spotted Andrew (02stagea) last night at the Berowa Truckstop in his Mini - and for the fact it's a Mini I understand why you brought it along.

What happened to you? I assumed you were coming up the coast, I would have liked to have had another look at the car in better light.

Fair enough - the last thing you want is for it to break down so far from home!

Then again, I could have folded my rear seats down (if necessary) and you could have wheeled the mini into the back of my car! :) LOL

spotted DVLASH ? or something similar black 260rs :blink: we had a bit of an on road chat at the lights of princess hwy and warrigal rd!! very wet night to be on the roads

it was about 11:30 pm

    • 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"
