April :cheers: full service .... belts were changed in November. But it sounds like somethings starting to squeel a little bit under there!!

ive got heaps of rattles i never had before either - not that thats a performance thing but still annoying.

Dunno whether to take it to Slako or C-Red ...... C-Red did my suspension and said that it was spluttering etc on the way in but they also told me it was because of a non standard leaking blow off valve - what tha? mine standard and it aint leaking. And when i took it to Slako for service he said he couldnt find what i was talking about.

Maybe urs is aftermarket but in the stock position?? i would have though that they would have tried to fix it if you took it into them.

Did you get shocks and springs put in by C-Red?? I definitely think that i am going to go lower, well when i get in to my house anyway cause there will be no gutter to drive up!

i bought the car like that. haha thats the first thing anyone says about my car .... its sooo bloody low .... oh well gotta have a little bit of rice at least :cheers: no point putting neons under it cos i dont think you would hardly see the shadow haha

haha neons?? that would look ok actually cause all you would see is a bit of a glow from under it!

I had fun on the work today, the only good thing about working in the sticks is being able to fly past all the other traffic going FAST!!

Drove through the city on the way home though yesterday and the exhaust and BOV sounds cool... hehe

and i have got a day off tomorrow as well! yay!

i would like to know but i dont think theres anyway of telling .... ive looked for some kinda label imprint but cant see anything. It was funny cos when my shockies packed it in the tops of my wheels actually disappeared above the wheel arches by about 2cm haha...... no wonder i had eggs in my tyres after that little episode.

yeah cant wait to redo my exhaust etc ...... just need the cash - i want to collect enough to do the exhaust and Intercooler together.

Guess i better save to fix that wing of mine first :cheers: ..... so what do ya reckon .... veilside copy?

well mine was probably whiteline then ..... thing is the guy i bought my car off sent me thru a few invoices on stuff he had done to my car .... mainly invoices for the rims etc .... but on them it has the REAL odo reading!! it has 95,000Kms when he had the rims done in April last year but i bought my car with 75Km on the clock in August ..... go figure. It also used to have Bunbury plates on it.

with your kit i reckon that a veilside copy would look pretty cool!

havent you got an aftermarket exhaust already? i am sure that it sounded like it!

i got to finish off my exhaust as well as a front mount and clutch... got to save to do things to the house when it gets finished too!

i reckon that it has had the clock wound back then! definitely.

My car has got 83k on the clock which is pretty good for a car of that age, my old 98 pulsar had more kms on it than that!

how long ago did you get it cause i used to stay down in bunbury a bit and i reckon that i might have seen it now!

well me and this guy who drove a Skyline but isnt part of the club was talking at City West one day while i was waiting for a few guys .... and he went to have a look at the exhaust and goes .... yeah it could be a bit bigger eh? haha ... i kinda grown attached to my holden Clubby tip tho - im not a big fan of the big northbridge tunnel look hanging from the car.

yeah i thought the veilside might be the way to go :cheers: GTR is nice just had too many problems with it disintergrating on me thats all!!

haha must be hard with house n car things .... i wouldnt mind buying a house just need to win lotto for the deposit .... even got the area picked out :D Sometimes i think stuff the car i'll jsut save for a deposit on a house.

yeah i thought that i would be able to do both, but i am finiding it hard... i think that the car is going to have to go onto the back burner for a while when i get the clutch fixed :cheers: unless i win lotto that is:)

i like my northbridge tunnel, the ol' D1 style! i like it cause its no where near as loud as most peoples that i know and looks good.

Got it in last August .... was owned by a guy who lived in Freo since Feb last year (ahh being a licensing clerk was a wonderful thing .... bit of background checking :cheers: ) then it mustve come from Bunbury people previously.

it wouldnt of had those rims on it when it was in bunbury. from what i can see the kit wouldve been the same tho.

no doubt its been wound back but i wanna know why? usually gets done in perth but why did the guy that had it before me wind it back ... he was a fairly older bloke .... and its not like the car had done a huge amount - thats fairly reasonable in my opinion .... my ZX is an 88 and only done 113,000 but thats believable cos the guy that had it used to have about 5 other cars!! and i used to not take it out often cos i used to have the use of the dealership cars.

My ZX is loud!! its the kind that can set peoples alarms off haha .... i used to work in a place i was allowed to park my car in their high rise carpark cos i worked late .... anyway i really hated working there and every nigh ton the way out i would leave black marks on the ramps and set off everybodys alarms *evil laugh* .... then i got the pussie R33 with the Pussie exhaust.... i wanted to see if i could take hte ZX to work today (if the battery wasnt flat) but my mum refused to let me drive my own car cos it wasnt insured!! for phucks sake its got third party and iveonly had one prang in the history of my cars and it was small and while i was on my P's!!

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
