SHOW WILL NOW BE ON SUNDAY 1st JULY!

Here is the plan so we can all go together and not get lost.

Newcastle guys meet up at Twin Servos at Wallsend 5:30 am (for 5:45 leave)

Central coast people meet at Twin Servos on F3 at 6.00 am (for 6.15 leave when newcastle people drive through)

If people dont want to meet there wait on the freeway at some stage and wait for us to go by.

These times are not negotable as some of us have committed to help out and be there early. If your not on time we WILL leave without you .

If all goes to plan this should get us to Granville Park by about 8.30 am at the latest......I hope :cool:

Leaving the twins at Wallsend at 5.45am and getting to the twins on the freeway at 6am. So, the cruise speed is 180km/hr down the freeway? Might be worth getting up that early for this cracking pace.

Just curious as I drive that way every day, and it take more than 15min doing 130km/hr.

Is there a second group that is heading down at a later time....just for those that can't be stuffed getting up at the sparrow fart time??

oooo early

Come on Dave you know you wanna :whistling:

You might drive that way every day but still doesnt help your reading skills!

It allows us from 5:45 till 6:15 to get there, so when all the Newcastle guys get there the Coastie's should be there ready and we can leave straight away. No one really wants to stand around chatting and freezing their butt's off at that hour of the morning. :rolleyes:

Do what you will but some of us have said we will help out at the show as the fairies just dont come and do it all ;)

Now now kiddies :whistling:

It may seem like an early time, but as has been said some of us are committed to helping out and this is the earliest we can get down there.

In actual fact, we should be down there earlier, but I refuse to leave any earlier than this.

Also, cars are allowed in from 8am, but keep in mind that people will not let in and out anytime they want this year, so there will be a cut off for when you can enter your car.

And by getting there early we can all park together for a much more enjoyable day.

We need a tarp and some tent poles! lol!

I mean come on we have to be there by 9 am and gettting there at 8.30 is not at all that early!

I'm hoping we will be there earlier as I would hope there isnt too much traffic.

I will buy a pop up canopy thingo/tent thing for us to sit under if someone takes it down, I have NO room in my car. It should fit on a back seat.

6am at Twin servos .. *starts to curl up in a trembling ball*

Any of the coasties doing this? After all I have to travel 30 mins Nth to come back south! If no one else is insane enough to get up at that hour then il be waiting on the side of the F3 near the Gosford on ramp! :blush:

Oh well if we need to be down there by that time to get our cars in, then I spose I can make the early run :D

What time were you planning on leaving Jev? Puttting the 34 in as well?

Looking at leaving at 8.30 and heading down with a friendly group.

Neither of the Skylines will be entering, they are well used on the track and western roads so the front bars are far from show worthy.

Are you entering?

Thats right central coast people meet at 6am. Newcastle people drive through at 6 15am :cool:

Wallsend to twin servos on freeway = 30 mins.

Your just a winning personality aren't you.

I went on a Forester GT/XT cruise the other day....and it was refreshing to be around people that are car enthusiasts and genuinely nice people instead of people with their head shoved so far up their arse with a complex of my car goes faster, my car looks better and my car has this.

With such helpful replies as above, no wonder Skyline owners get a bad name among other car enthusiast groups.

Hey a quick question

How many of the Newcastle people and coasties are making there way up for the shown and shine

I think there is about 10 of us going so far.

im in anna , but im a-f f fraid to take my car there, its in the worste state atm stupid defects.

Every Skyline is worthy of going to the show, they are all pretty. :cool: There are lots of prizes and give aways! Make sure you enter online too.

So go buy a Forrester then.

I'm just trying to help everyone out so they can get there and not get lost.

To everyone else just ignore Jev he follows me round on every forum having a stab at me. It's old hat now.

I dont understand why you have to pick faults with everything I say Jev its really childish. Whatever the problem is please pm me so you can move on.

    • 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?
