Shiv you cat....get the dvd crankin'

I do understand some interesting torture techniques that can...well.......you know the rest :) Just play it somewhere public. You'll be safe until we get you police protection.

Has anyone got the link to the WRX Club, i would really want to get the entry form for the Twilight sesion at Calder Park

Yes! me too Al, I'm keen to enter that one... I just put up a thread asking about it in the events section, but it disappeared?!!

The WRX club site is here - www.wrx.com.au but I couldnt find any info about a twilight club sprint in Jan...

I had a quick chat as I was leaving. I don't think he knew too much about the car but it was a silver R31 2 door which he said had been dressed up to look like a GTS-R. Was a damn tough looking car. Silver and had the plates "SEVNTH". Had an aftermarket turbo and other enine work. Very neat looking car. Was very quick too but didn't get any pics sorry.

sorry dude, I had a Christmas party for work on. Which is a lot more fun than watching your ugly mug :(

Anyways I forgot to tell Al that you could have that disc (its not the finished item). Either way pm me and you'll get a copy of it.

btw Its hard keeping all you girls happy with these videos

haha

where were u at the last meeting num nuts! u were going to bring a few copies of the Sandown DVD

hey guys,thats me in the silver volvo, sorry if i pi$$ed any of you guys off, all those skylines were very intimidateing! i wish the sweadish brick had power like that!i agree with some of the comments about other drivers, alot of people were going full noise and not takeing into acount of people around them. its a wonder these 'fundays' even exsist with todays 'legalites'.i had a great time non the less 90% of the people were very nice.a few people in holdens could't handel the fact that a volvo just went pass them so they were out to be a$$holes. i strongly recomend good tyres to have maximum fun as it makes alot differnce especialy if you are a newbe as they makeup for the mistake's.hopefuly ill be there next time, be sure to come and say hi.

BTW, what were some of the top speeds you guys were getting on the straights?

most i got was 165klm/h

michael. :D

the volvo- re-55 tyres,av-gas,kevlar pads,head ported/polished,larger throttle body,stratos racing seats,3.95:1LSD,custom cam,magnacore ignigtion,20degree advance timing,4spd close ratio hollenger gearbox with a 'real' short shift kit ;)

i saw 200klms...i think....adz might have been paying more attention than i was of the speed .....That crazy german in the supra saw 210 or something like that....hey volvo dude....you had an awful close mishap through the s there that bust's up the main straight!

Hi Mike,

My friend and I were suprised by number of volvos etc.

>> BTW, what were some of the top speeds you guys were getting on the straights?

>>most i got was 165klm/h

I think the best i got was around the same. Was driving an Auto, and didnt have a long enough run to build speed. Guess i lost too much speed through corners. I was aiming for cornering and not speed, so only boosted hard towards the end of the laps.

>> michael. :D

How the hell did you afford a hollenger? my friend works for them, and gear box are like 16 grand.

ylwgtr2>>> yeah that was pretty bloody skcetchy through there!!! i was seeing just how far i 'could' brake.... it turns out to stop from 150 you need at least 50m :P .go figure! it was volvo vs tire barrier, so i closed my eyes and prayed and some how i came out on the other side!

heartbrkr>>> i could't beleve that there were other volvos there!i thought i was going to be the only one, they were pushing hard to but they were just stock. the gearbox was built by a guy who owned the car before me. he had brought just the close ratio gearset and put them in himself. un-syncromeshed so it grinds if you dont double the clutch at hi rpm. he had brought the set awhile ago, and i think he new someone there, still cost him a few grand!

michael. :D

next time i will have the new exhaust and a few other treats.

    • 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:) 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
