Well i like this page very informative and if people have any sence will understand what happen on the SDU forum, and accept it. Being sister clubs (same as affiliated to) is a must in my books. There is so much to learn from each other. I think it would be good if that quote from razor was on the SDU forum somewhere for all to see, if it isn't already. We are well on the way to getting this thing going, but theres still alot to do. To do it right we have to be methodical and check all avenues. I think we should start updating the people on the SDU forum regularly so they can see where we are up to. From what i can tell its still atleast 2 months minimum from being finished.

Thank you to the nz crew for coming on here and telling us whats what and showing support, cheers fella's.

I had been visiting SDU since I had my turbo pulsar from about june/july last year. I did notice the diminishing state of the General Forum, but I rarely posted in there anyway so it wasn't something I missed (or complained about when it was removed).

I appreciate SDU and will remain to visit the site and forums. I owe a lot of knowledge to those forums (and a helluva lot of friendships). They have made me recognise the community which Skyline drivers have. I would never have waved at another SKyline driver if i had never been to the forums, now i almost fall out of the window trying to get their attention.

The Australian Skyline club is moving along slowly, but surely. There are a few people from each state who are working [u:a2f47a70c2]very[/u:a2f47a70c2] hard to get it up and running, with CAMS affiliation and sponsors etc, it will be a good day when we can finally say that the club has been formed.

Being a sister club with SDU is a fantastic idea and I can see no reason why this shouldn't occur, RazorGTR i think it was you that said you were coming to Sydney? I will be sure to show you how a NOZILR drives. :mrgreen: !! perhaps we can organise a track day when you are here to get all the Sydney and ACT 'lines together.

Anyway, I will and have been working hard at this and wont stop until everybody is happy with the results. Including SDU, it would be a shame to lose the relationship which I personally have aquired with SDU.

Ciao y'all!

Christian.

btw, URINE and IMABUM smell.

Guest RazorGTR

Actually that was Lee coming over, though one day I aim to make the treck over. I have come this far and always wanted to see Australia.

Cheers for the kind comments guys. Lets hope we all can work together and in the future provide a wealth of quality information that would even make the Japs take notice. I know there are tuners here and in Australia that know enough to make these cars sing. We just need to keep the crap out that way everyone wins in the end :(

Speed has a bit of a different angle on the whole car scene which I think is fresh and hip. They don't have [u:9a8aee0b54]just[/u:9a8aee0b54] cars. Yeah, their shots are good but I like the writing style. Kicks a***. Is the second issue out? If not, do you know when.

How would you get them on board ryan? Do you have contacts or something?

I've been off the net for a while and have only read parts of this thread so I'll start by saying sorry if this has all been said before. Here's my $0.02.

I think affiliated state chapters of a club called, for example:

Skylines Australia, NSW

Skylines Australia, WA

etc.

Then the stickers etc. can either say the state or not. One website with regional forums etc.

If we have a national club we are going to end up with regions/states anyway. I have no clue from a legal/requirements point of view which is better to set up. I would think it would have to be Incorporated in at least one state anyway.

The various Porsche clubs are a good example. They are separate entities which all communicate and get together for nationals etc.

Personally I have no problem with SDU as a name, although SAU is good as well.

Either way an open line of communication between us and the Kiwis would be a good thing to keep. Just because they shut down their forums (which they are entirley in their rights to do) doesn't mean we should sever the ties.

I have the odd bit of spare time available so I'm happy to help in setting up the NSW club.

    • 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"
