way it should be sneeza unfortunately there are a few guys out there that ask more questions than your parents used to before you go out and if you bump into some guy you used to know they hold it against you as some planned secret rendavous.

You going anywhere for the honeymoon Liz?

maybe we should set up our own roadside assistance - make a bit out of it :P

Ken is taking a long time to catch up - surely he knows nothing constructive has been said in the last 24 hours :)

the honeymoon is a surprise - my dad got it for us for the wedding present... Andrew knows where it is. Its overseas - 3 days in a shopping place and 5 days in a resort place - that's all I know!

Yeah andrew is really good - we have our own lives as well. I hanag out with guys from uni and its no big deal. But one thing I get pi*ssed about with him is the god damn speedway skanks that hang around the crews! But that's not his fault I guess

*sniff sniff, i smelll skkkank* (fast in furious) hahaha just master the death glare Liz they'll get the hint pretty quickly!

Sounds like your going to have a good time then :) haha start putting the boys credit card to good use in that shopping place - and if its in malaysia we all want the $5 nismo shirts the shuto boy gets :P

Your right Niz , that was a waste of 10 more minutes of my precious life.

Btw , thanks for the lunch and I will take you out and return the favour one day.

Glad to see everyone got home safe and there right

Macka , you smell:shake:

Cheers

Ken

the basics are all the same with every car. small things like intercoolers should be taught - geez one would think if they had a proper look they could see a pipe loose. Its funny if they have to do a road inspection report on an import they are all of sudden an expert in whats not right with it but on a call out that havent a clue. marlows are shocking even trying to find a battery for an R33.

ok - I'll see if i can bring back some gifts for some of you!!!

The girls that hang at speedway are such dickheads. They come up to drivers in their cfm boots and skimpy clothes and ask if they can crew and walk the car out.... its like "honey you won't make it 2 metre out onto the track with those shoes" hahahaha

beer was enough to return favour ken - my pleasure.

yes paul an i have been making up for whoring alone time lost during the week :P haha i bet u learnt a few bikini wax tips in there tho!

hahaha I didn't know my car had an intercooler - how dumb am I. I always thought an inercooler was the front mounted one... Macka has been shitting on me all day about it.

Niz - i went to get a battery for my car from marlows and they are like "why do you want that battery for a 180b datsun" hahaha

And glad to see you got home intact after being with 3 slightly drunk , always horny guys.

Your right about the white knuckle ride with Paul.

I wouldn't have gone that fast if I was him.

I have seen him drive.:P

Cheers

Ken

nah dont worry about the gifts liz just have a good time - im sure theres better things you could be doing with that time than shopping for us :P

no matter how skimpy the clothes are you aint going to look sexy with a face like a smashed crab. (*niz retracts her claws*) haha

    • 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"
