Ok,

Here is what I am thinking, given most people seem to be out east way.

Location: Jells park, Wheelers hill

Meet point: Vermont south Coles car park, furthur most corner next to Hanover road entrance (Obviously, ill arrive first and just look for the car in my sig). We can purchase supplies at the Coles and then head down Springvale Road to Waverley road.

Time: 12:00 noon.

Date: 25/26 September, 1/2 October (Please pick preference)

Route: Considering this is going to be a day cruise, ill choose the most direct route as there will be lots of traffic anyway. Probably just go down Burwood hwy, then on Monbulk road.

Additional details: There is a Shell at the same complex as Coles, so dont worry if your low when you arrive. Event will be postponed if it rains. I know it wont affect the cars, but not ideal BBQ weather.

If anyone else has some ideas, shoot. Else...what do you all think?

Ok,

Here is what I am thinking, given most people seem to be out east way.

Location: We are going to end up at Silvan Resivoir Park, 5 BBQ's there, heaps of space and parking etc. Page 120, H11

Possibly somewhere a bit closer, as not all of us can make a day of it. How about just at jells park (wheelers hill)? I agree the BBQ's there are a bit of fun (wood (supplied), not gas) but it will be much easier to get to...

Ian

Jells park sounds awesome to me (coz l'm all of 10mins away!! :D )

and the 1/2 oct would be best, the weekend before is grand final weekend, and l don't think my car will be here by then. (may not be for the 1/2nd, but fingers crossed)

Even if its not here, l'll come along to have a look at your cars, and get jealous coz mines not there!! :lol: :P

It is on the right, 2nd car park

Check the reference in the melway, its the big teardrop style carpark.

Ill get there around 11:45, so everyone just look for my car (ill park near the entrance so as soon as you enter, you should see me)

Ahh...soo far away yet...maybe we can find some more stagea owners by then... ;)

Another Melb Stagea here, had it for 18 months, cause the bub is too hard toget into a baby seat in our GTI-R

Can't make the meet (shift worker) usually miss GTI-R owners meets due to the shifts (only made 3 meets in 7 years of ownership from that one)

LOL, problem is we still have the GTI-R, so it's 2 4wd money pits

We promised ourselves no engine mods on the stagea, so far so good, pity same can't be said for the pulsar

x2 here. The stagea is staying unmodified, but boy, having looked in the TP here, its a struggle at times!! :lol:

  • 2 weeks later...

If you didn't notice this thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49484) please have a read of the end of it ie if you are in Melbourne with a stagea and want to get a towbar, join us in approaching prestige.. :-)

Its on next weekend, 1st, Jells park

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
