Man, I just wanted to comment on the amount of crazy Commodore drivers with P-plates in Canberra. I come to Canberra pretty reguarly but the last 2 times were pretty werid.

1-Black monaro cv8 with p-plates wanted to give me a run on drakeford, so I have him abit of a squirt, nice guy and gave me a wave when he turned off but.

2-white vy with p-plates really tailgating me on Erindale drive, I was already doing 90 in the 80. So I didn't slow down much while turning left into ashley dr. He had to brake heavily to make the round about. By this time I was already behind another car. This guy goes through the double white line on the wrong side of the road hoons past spray me and a couple cars with rocks and narrowly smacked into on comming traffic.

Are p-platers just getting more crazy in Canberra since I left 5 years ago?

damn I would of hated to be first at the scene if he did hit the on comming car.

lol, I'm inclined to agree, they're crazy. Yesterday a bunch of SUPER MASSIVE bogans in an old rusty VP crapheap who were infront of me started getting up my arse and yelling shit at me after I passed them... So I baited them... The driver wasn't exactly what I'd call... Able, either XD

Long story short I became a dot on the horizon :D

Have to agree..

Once a commondore sees a Skyline or anyother import.. Is like getting an erection.. There up and goin for it...

Its just funny how true it is, ive never had it happen by a falcon driver or anything else... Always a commodore.. pfft

I think its agreeable about young guys and there commodores.... they need to proves themselves. Its the same every tho, I pull up at lights on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane and get the same thing. It quite funny actually, because my 32 is pretty much stock and they still get left behind... :P

Speaking of that

There's a silver VX 'S' that parks in the poiol carpark in Civic with HSV seat covers and a HSV hat on the back parcel shelf..... and a replica "SKAIFE" sticker on the back passenger window V8 supercar stylez

oh and a baby seat in the back.

I hate f@#king magna drivers... almost every bald middle aged man in his "oh crap im having a mid life crisis, i need a sports car but the wife will shoot me if i buy something impartical" magna sports trys to race me... GET OVER IT!!!!

Ha Ha @ RAV4s. How are they gonna race anyone. Frist deviation from dead straight and they are over on the roof!

No shit there's a fair few of them, most of the ones I've seen with a handicapped driving ability have been mostly mostly female in mid to late 20's and driving with a right foot made of lead and coated in titanium.....

Quite like middle aged men in anything with a BMW badge if you ask me.

Rav4's actually go fairly decently for what they are. I mean they wouldn't keep with your average Skyline (my car when it was RB30 could bowl one over no problems) but they'd hand it to anything else that was of the buzzbox 4 cylinder type... cept for stuff like a Pulsar SSS or the like

anyways I'm babbling, back on topic

Commodores, yes that's normal.

I have had them pull up next to me give me that look, and I have thought about it and gone why waste fuel, then we have taken off driving up to about 3,5 or so rpm.

Pull up at the next set of lights just for the dick to go "i thought they would be a lot quicker then that" i looked at him and said hey mate i was only changing at 3,5 the look on his face was priceless. Lights go green good bye dick head bogan 1st 2nd nothing to seen.

    • 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"
