Hey Ppl!!!

I am new to sydney and I was wondering were car people hang out or is this sometime that Sydney people just dont do?. Im from Adelaide and there are a few spots were there will always be car people socialising and hanging out and doing bad things like burnouts. I wanted to know if you have those types of places here . I know newcastle very well as family lives up there and I know were the cruising place up there are e.g along the shore and sometimes under the bridge. I get bored on weekends and go for a cruise but can never find any cars out???

Just curious

:D

as i said in the other thread - come for a drive up the old pacific highway - loads of bikes on weekends and members here are keen for drives up there but on a thursday,fri or sat night - thornliegh maccas gets some cars - and some head up the old pacific highway (well, i used to do that couple years ago with the LS1 club, but havent been to thornleigh maccas for ages)

The rocks isnt like it used to be - cops are very bad down there now. If you want to drive through the rocks do it during the day when they will be out catching real criminals and not waiting around the corner for you

just head around the city mate, always plenty of cars on george st, in the cross, parra road, harrys cafe, head to stanmore maccas or kingsford maccas if u want to see some cars,

generally no one stops in the city as the cops just harass you untill you move

they do stupid things to keep cars out of the rocks... they put a nice high speed hump just before the turn into the rocks.. now theyve made it a 1 lane - 2 way pass under the bridge with a traffic light controlling traffic.

i went through there last sat night and everyone was jumping out of their cars pumping music and dancing. its a bigger hangout now.

Ummmm.

I'm not sure that the Macca's scene is what this fellow is after.

Some of the best cruise nights I've had in Sydney is taking the old daily driver out and visiting the local late night drag spots.

Or nice pre-arranged fangs through twisty roads with heaps of scenary in the hills......

Gone are the days of the Chatswood car park met ups :D

Andy Mac you are right this is what we are looking for....

The meet up point before heading into the hills .

The spots were you can talk about performance ..

All though George St Saturday night was pumping but we like to stop and chat not just cruise around aimlessly for hours on end...

Ummmm.

Whoa Andy, long time no speak.

The Chatswood meet ups still happy - what are you driving thesedays?

How Ya Doing Nick,

How the devil are you…

I’ve still got the ‘ol R33GTS-t – Whale Spec

But now with the following modifications :

Stock Blow Off Valve Replaced.

New Royal Purple Oil (Did it myself too…)

This N1 R33GTR bloke seems like a dandy chap, wife seems pleasant too. Maybe we should arrange a “special welcome to mutha f**ken hardcore Sydney” crusie ?

Departing Chatswood 12am………Express to Lithgow or Singleton…

Just suggestions.

Your Faithfully,

Andrew

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
