edit: thanks to Erin for looking after the little'n while dad had a much needed smoke :)

OMG he's soo cute!

He's got gorgeous blue eyes and the chubbiest cheeks. Car keys are an amazing thing for babies, jingle them and they are entertained for hours!

He's a hoon in the making if ever I saw one, hears a burnout, looks around with his big blue eyes, turns back to us and has a huge grin on his face! Soo cute!

... No I'm not getting clucky.

yeah after Jay made it quite clear if I broke it, I would have purchased a broken GTR, I was just not really game to push it much, looked like a turdburger launching it at 4.5to5k rpm, meh got a 13.9, my best run ever in any car.

Best I ran in the //CS beast was 14.1, ironically my first run, ran constant 14.3 to 14.5's, even teh master Jay could only muster a measly 14.8.

Meh Good night! :)

Tehe, yeah we think he's pretty cute too :( Not that we would be biased or anything :)

Andrew...you had better sleep in the spare room for a few days :rofl:

Was a good night, I couldn't afford to run but still enjoyed being there. Plenty of Skylines with big flameage is good, and there were also a few RB Salivas out there too.

The best run of the night was the drag bike though, with a 7.7@165mph :)

wtf posses someone to jump on a 7 sec motor bike! tho that things launch was amazing... 3 gear changes before the front wheel got back on the ground!

will upload pics tonite... tho most are underexposed :)

On the plus side I didn't loose a race...

Just for SAU QLD people:

Who got the fastest ET of the evening?

Who got the best MPH of the evening?

Who got the best 60ft of the evening?

Who got the best reaction time of the evening?

How harsh was that VB Commy that died on the start line? Second last run of the whole night and it had to be towed home. We know this because Cyrus and I passed it on the Ipswich Motorway at about Riverview being towed with about 3 metres of snatch strap, and 5 people in the Commodore... :uhh:

Pfft, wheelie bars are for wimps :P 7 sec would be a blast!! Just holding onto the bars would be near-on impossible.

The bone stock CBR1000RR than ran 10.55@135mph was impressive, lifted the wheel a good foot off the ground at the top of first and part of second, fairly impressive considering when you're at the drags you try to keep it pretty much on the ground. Changing into third at 180-odd km/h then feeling the front wheel come down is... exciting ;)

VL's are ghey out of the tolls.

RVR's wanting to STOP in the middle of the motorway to test how fast his car is are idiots.

o..... k......

Damn!!! My first drag event! Was a bit nervous on the first run (so nervous I left the air-con on!!) Cyrrus was certain I would beat him, but there was little chance with a 2.5 reaction time and an et of 15.046!!

Second run was little better with the car spinning until the 330ft mark!! (18.660!!) Got a lot better after some advice from a workmate who just happens to do security at the track. No burnout and take off at the last orange! 14.7 et.

Best of my night was a 14.6 et. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be doing it again.

    • 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"
