Hey guys,

I have a cruise coming soon. I am just waiting for confirmed dates on my car as to how soon it will be happening. As soon as I know, the weekend after my car gets here will be the cruise date. It may be short notice, and probably quite impromptu, but it will be happening.

After that, the car club I am in (Monkey Chow Racing) will be having monthly cruises. Once we start the events, people will cotton on... we have a lot of people wanting to join at the moment...

It has been a long time coming, Young GTR, but rest assured it is coming.

As to September, I am getting married then, and the week before will be a huge cruise. I will be getting together with a premier Targa Tasmania navigator to organise an itinerary. He actually writes the rally notes for Targa Tas, so it will be a good drive. The itinerary will allow people who work know where we are, and join when they can. I will get this together in the next few weeks, and anybody who asks will be able to grab a copy of this itinerary.

So, if anybody from Tas (or abroad) wants to get in contact with me, email me at [email protected]....

Cheers

:P

Registration is $35, and you get the free newsletter, a HUGE sticker and also a membership card which will get you discounts with my business (10% off everything except cars) and more in store.....

It will be good, as we have huge plans for the club (dedicated car shows, mainland trips etc)

Well I do need to find a buyer for my car, know of anyone up there interested in a 1990 Aussie Skyline GTS2 (red with white wheels)???

I want an R31 GTS-X or possibly a passage turbo. Looking at a few, but have to sell my baby first.

Not yet dude.

Car was picked up in Brisbane today, so only have to wait until next wednesday!!!! I have been waiting since 1st February for a car, and now the wait is OVER!

Anywho, the Silvia that I was importing for a friend is a bit of a beast. Talk of the town at the moment. So, I will be cruising down next weekend. Any suggestions when and where? I don't know how many people will be going, but we shall see.

Oh, no news yet about your car? I am drawing a blank up here, so no help yet, but I will keep trying. Have you considered putting it in the private classifieds here on Skylines Australia?

Keep in touch,

Slaz.

yeah I tried in the private section.

I have decided to keep the car cos I love it so much, all it really needs is power, so I will save for the turbo conversion.

I will either put in a VL turbo motor, an R33 25t motor or work on the 3L block and attach the 25t head, making it the RB30DET. Any suggestions?

    • 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"
