ive had dreams where ive beaten the shit out of someone trying to steal my car - i tell ya for a chick i kick a serious amount of arse haha!! Wish i lived in clarmeont or somewhere where my car is not a big deal but in bloody high wycombe - i went to midland gate in my 88 ZX (which was a gorgeous car in really good nick for its age stunner compared to the bomb ones u see around) and i would get so many evil glares and stuff so i dont take my R33 anywhere near the place - the response in the ZX was bad enough!

haha theres a kareoke bar across from the deen? sweet me and my mate have always wanted to get xtremely pissed and go kareoke!!! Haha so it shouldnt be too hard to talk her into it. as long as nothing is said about my singing under the influence in these forums im happy haha!!

hahaha i always go um i dont car who drives mel but i would just like to point out that you're diving from my house to your houseso its better if we just take your car (hyundai excel) ooorr oh well know point taking my car its a two door (when theres a group of people) one way or another i talk my way driving to northbridge - plus cos my car is lowered it cant hack those high ris ecarparks without taking half the front spoiler off - parked in one in the city ofr an interview once and i was crying all the way down all you could hear was *ssscraaape* aghhh why dont they cater for lowered cars!!

yeah! Ahh lowering does have its disadvantages and extra costs but i love the look. Even my dad does - because its caused the rubbers to wear away and my shockies to pack it in they wanted to put springs in the front that would highten it a few mm i told my dad and he goes "no way go the second option you dont want it higher" haha which i dont - but new shcokies and the ongoing cost of replacing the rubbers should fix my problem - its funnier when you pull up to barinas and you hav eto look up to them tho haha. High rise carparks - nightmare do not even attempt!! i swear that what made my front spoiler come lose - even the slightest rises i have to be aware of. You'll see a small slope and go "no probs" then scccraaape! oops haha

hahaha bully!! so he should!

Actually 33Spec2 really anywhere! You will find out yourself as i did - things look decpetively flat even when sober - i had my car 2 weeks went into mt lawley for a friends b'day dinner because parking was so hard to find a lot of u-turns in peoples driveways were involved as soon as i went up them i heard scrape im like what tha?!! it doesnt take much of a slope you'll learn tho. I mean skyzerr said on one cruise my exhaust was low on my car and im liek nah i dont have the huge ones that most of the guys have on their cars - i didnt think too look at how low the piping was underneath til the other day - he was right it only sits about 10cms off the ground - even i was shoucked i hadnt wiped it off on something yet!!

hmm well i havent been stopped by the cops - its legal i think - its a slow as strich9s at the front but i dont know how low his exhaust piping goes either - it gave me a shock no wonder a plastic bag stuck to the exhaust and made me look like a dikhead (i explained that story yesterday) Ive never really had a close look "under" the car til yesterday and some of that stuff is pretty low - but hey the car survives - the cops havent said anything yet sooo its all good.

haha i said its as slow - sorry kym - i meant as low.

My parents have nicknamed it the go-kart because they reckon thats what your driving position in it feels like - mine you sit low etc and have to reach up for the steering wheel etc in theirs its the opposite.

u might realise it takes half an hour for me to edit these messages before i post them and even then my mistakes slip thru. im on my 6th beer if u want to know why it takes this long.

    • 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"
