First Of All GTS-t Vspec,

Don't you thinkn that it is time to start toning down on the abuse of hicks. what he did was an act of peer pressure. im sure that when u were 19 you did a few silly things that resulted in bad happenings because of Peer Pressure. and yes i was on of those that said "Go on Ben U can do it mate!"

So really enuff is enuff. Also to bag someones family like that its just asking for a beating. (u have no right to call his father stu[id when u dont know him) which would look real good if u went to teach at uni with a couple of black eyes. So please just let sleeping dogs lie. his clutch is fixed its all over god dammit.

on a lighter note.

did ne one hear bout the guys in the commy who stole the number plate of a radar camera guys car and the procceded to do bog laps past the camera at 110 in a 70 zone.

lol commy drivers are good for something!

Psiker,

Chill out man, Hicks and I are friends, therefore all my jokes are in fun and he takes them as such, and so should you. I have no problem with Hick's youthful displays of driving, i.e. burnout comps, but it does provide ample opportunity to get in a free dig.

Guys,

I was watching the news last night, and in NSW they have taken money away from the Special Crimes division and given it to the traffic cops. Don't know about you but I think it is bullshit, I'd rather they were arresting real criminals, not those of us who are a little heavy on the accelerator.

See'ya :burnout:

Paul,

What i think Psiker's on about is the general bagging that goes on hey. It just looks like your constantly at hicks.... friends or not, this is a public/anonymous forum and if people dont know the full story (if your mates from way back when) how are they to know ?

I don't blame Psiker for trying to stick up for someone.

-Kym.

Strich9ine,

I can understand that fully Kym, and I have no beef with Psiker, but Hicks gives as good as he gets, and he's big enough to look after himself. I'm sorry if my bagging has offended anyone, but it's usually tit-for-tat and all in jest.

P.S. I love you Hicks:cheers:

See'ya:burnout:

I know something u dont know:rolleyes: :D

Lets just say this: Speed cams are illegal on freeway now but handheld from overpasses are not and a radar detector wont pick them up (proven theory) i saw 3 ppl pulled over at the same time on mt henry plus 2 more by plain cars in south perth freeway.

Cracking down gets the point across so u cant blame em. 250 ppl in 30mins on the Polly pipe has gotta tell u sumfin.(police christmas party paid for)

Here's a review of some of the radar jammer products availible.

don't know how true this is.

Western Australia set for big changes

The West Australian Nov 9 2002.

Device ban to net speed trap evaders

RADAR detectors used by motorists to warn of nearby speed cameras and hand-held radars may soon be banned in WA, with a report on the issue being prepared for the State Government.

WA Office of Road Safety executive director Iain Cameron said yesterday research on the effect of bans in other States was being compiled and would soon be reviewed by the WA Road Safety Council. The council is the advisory body to the Government on road safety issues.

WA is the only Australian jurisdiction which has not banned the use of the detectors while driving.

Mr Cameron denied WA was dragging the chain on the issue, saying all road safety issues had to be assessed and prioritised, depending on their potential to reduce the road toll. Information on the effect of the bans in other States was not readily available and had to be tracked down.

The devices were outlawed in other States as part of the national road rules introduced in 2000 but the then-WA government was granted an exemption on the basis that it would carry out a policy review on the issue.

Moves are underway to reopen the issue and it appears it will only be a matter of time before these devices are banned following uniformity in all states!

I didn't think they could be placed actually in the tunnel. I thought they needed a certain type of background to calculate the speed, and the tunnel didn't work cause its all the same in there.

p.s. I love you too, v spec. :D :whackit:

I know that in the tunnel that goes under Sydney Harbour they can record your speed. It gets displayed on one of those overhead displays if u r going over the limit. They can also cut into your car radio and let you know if your speeding or of breakdowns etc. They send this info to the NSW Road Taffic Authority so if they can issue infringements. So if it can be done there they can do it here both tunnels look to be similiar (internally anyhow)

    • 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"
