Get some flamin mongrel about you Dan

Ring JLM, tell you you want an answer by the end of the day or you aren't paying the full amount, then when you get an answer tell them that if it takes longer than that you won't pay at all.

Ring JLM, tell you you want an answer by the end of the day or you aren't paying the full amount, then when you get an answer tell them that if it takes longer than that you won't pay at all.

This^^

And even then i would not be paying the full amount. The time frame you have been waiting for this will be longer than it takes to build my house!

Honestly i'd be saying if i have not got my car by next week i'll be taking legal action.

Even though DOTAR are the people holding it up (apparently), it's up to both Christian and JLM to get your car to you (after all that's who you are paying). They should be fighting the battle on your behalf, and i don't care what excuse they use the time frame has been WAY out if they have been "trying". For people with a good word on SAU they have f**ked you over royally.

Seriously. Call JLM and say you want a 100% answer this week. And you wan't your car next week. And if you don't have it next week say you want a discount for EVERY day it takes longer than that. If they say they can't give you that. Demand all your moneys back and buy Richards 34 and convert it. Seriously it'l take less time!

Also ill give you an example:

When my car took some damage to the front passenger side it took me 4 months of getting passed around by the government getting nowhere. I cracked the shits hard. Called my Auntie (who is a lawyer).

Got a response in 15 minutes apologizing, and asking me to go get quotes to fix the damage. Sometimes these places need a good kick up the ass.

Note to self: Importing takes longer than building a fking house.

I come across as a little kid on the phone.

Just emailed JLM asking wtf is going on and also sent Kristian (ironchef) a PM on here asking what the hell is happening

One of you can call for me if you like :P

Just be firm and confident on the phone. Know what you want before you call, dates, why this, why that, extremely late deadlines and promises, no one accepting fault. Get some answers, show your presents! :)

Also- see if you can speak with a manager or supervisor before you say anything.

Also Dan,

Doesn't matter what you sound like. You are a paying customer and you have rights. Put your foot down and call them. If you don't want to get a parent/Close relative to do it. It's amazing how much impact it can have when you bring someone else into the mix.

That sucks Dan - I had a seamless experience when importing my old R33, in fact the importer would ring me all the time with updates and wonder why I wasn't harassing him more! lol

It will all be worth it :)

Understand frustration around extended timeframes in compliance but i'd take a moment before rushing into demanding phone calls. Pretty sure they won't give you the car until the bill is paid, and a rational conversation will get you a lot further than a Jordan Belfort effort.

    • 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"
