Race spec stock as a roc???

Cheers

Ken

avoid the hill climbs for a while then, they hurt if you pusht he limits that bit to much..

Heheheheehehe

I gotta admit , the Meelup hillclimb had me clenching the buttocks...

Jill ( red 200sx) promised that she would not return to her scene of carnage :D

Cheers

Ken

are hill climbs any worse then say a 1am run through mundaring weir road ?

Mundaring is a nice road but the trouble is unless the clock is on , you are only racing yourself.

When the big boys come, you realise you were only playing....

PS I am not saying I am a big boy ( cosa the wifa says I ain't) but a until you give it a go , you will never never know... :D

well Ken i simply just line it up through it in and steer her through and shes stock as can be - last g3wc cruise i paced 3 ls1 powered  commodores with brakes smoking by half way.............

Tom , you have got to be kidding??

Tell you what , I will take for a run around Collie or wanners next year.

Don't want to be rude but when you are starting to get flat 67's long circuit in a road car then I will start to worry.

I don't want this to sound big headed but a lot of people think they are going quick until they go with someone quick.

Try going with Denver on a drift session or Brett Morse in a 2wd BMW against my old GTR and finishing poofteenth's behind. Man , that boy can drive..

Oh now doubt Ken ive never been on a track before where u need to know how to really drive....

"you have to be kidding" - almost the same thing the owner of one of the cars said to me that night :D

Tom , don't get me wrong , I am not knocking you.

It's just that every young person who comes to me seeking training/guidance/insparsation/encouragement thinks they are the next Colin Mcrae/Michael Schumacher/Denzo.

They think that they are the best and what they have done is unique.

I can tell yo that I did not invent it and am not the best , but neither are you.

What I am saying is that with age comes experience and knowledge and I can tell in 10 minutes if you *have it* or are just like a lot of the rest of the young people that think a power slide is actually drifting and an apex line is something that a drunk chick gives you...

Cheers

Ken

    • 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"
