Committee has decided to turn this into an Open cruise due to permissions issues with out members section.

For anyone that is not a member. There will be no id|iotic behaviour tolerated in any way, shape or form.

This is not like most other clubs "cruises"

NO burnouts and "siiik" drifting means just that.

Macedon Cruise

Meet: Western Ring Road, Mobil Service Station. Outbound from the City.

Time: 10am, depart 10.30am, there will be no waiting even if people ring me.

Route: Meeting @ the Servo, then heading out to Blackwood and along to Trentham.

Then to Dalesford and then Malmsbury for some lunch... yes this is where those awesome pies are :D

After that we'll take a nice scenic route to the Granite Hills Winery where there will be some wine for sale by the owners ;)

Last year a number of people purchased wine from here and reports are that it was worth it.

So i would reccomend bringing some extra $$$ to grab a few bottles

After that stop and some pics, back towards Macedon and the surrounding areas.

Finishing up @ the BP Servo across the road from Calder Park raceway

Should be a great day as always.

See you all there

They'd better not be, there is no reason why the PoLease should be informed. Looking foward to this, oh and ash what happens when you arrive late, do we wait for you because i seem to remember you being the one running late on our last cruises!

I havn't been to that many oragnised cruise by SAU VIC but i belived that every cruise that is covered by CAM, comittees do inform Mrofficer so we don't have to call our artornies.

We are well organised club, there is no need to hide or anything.

no need to hide, but also no need to draw undue attention.

i would certainly prefer to have everyone prepared to take responsibility for their actions rather than have police checking us over.

should be a good day :)

This was great last year, and will be better this year!

This is only a SAU forum and Skyline owners cruise, no outsiders. ie: Open to all SAU forum users and Skylines owners, not just SAU VIC members.

See ya all there!

Kym if you are going to be that -ve about the cruise and fellow Skyline owners, best stay home. Our previous cruises have been very well behaved, unlike other clubs, we have a very good reputation.

This will be your first SAU VIC cruise, so come along and reserve your judgement till after the cruise.

    • 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"
