i dont see why it wouldnt work.

just make sure it has a half decent solenoid.

back from Melbourne (did ya miss me????)

After watching the cars out on track and in the car park i have decided i want a Ferrari or Porsche or Aston Martin, I'm not to picky :). I suppose it didn't help its 2 main rivals were out by lap 7. FYI Gallardo's make Great BBQ's.

One of the biggest stories out of the weekend was the Aston Martin Team. It blew its ECU before going out on track. The team didn't have a spare one so they flew the Financial Manager of Prodrive out from the UK (first Class!!!) with an ECU in his suit case. He arrived in Melbourne at 10.30 Sunday morning. There was a Helicopter waiting on the Tarmac for him (didn't even go in the terminal) which flew him to the track so the part could be fitted by 12.30. Car was put back together in time to start from pit lane, unfortunately it still only had 10 cylinders :) The weekend ended up costing the owner over 75K!!!!! for 8th place :D

Andrew you would have been EXTREMELY disappointed the only grid girls were only on the GRID!!!! how rude

Nick when did you get there?? I was in Melb helping a mate with his work on Wed - Fri, We finnished work early and had about 5 hours before we flew out so we decided to hit up the track on Friday for a geez!! we stayed for about an hour in the arvo and saw the Sports Sedans and That class of pics you have!! Went for a walk along the back of the pits and tried to find you but only bumped into Sam Milton, had a yarn watched some more cars and left!!

What happend to Washington?? I noticed he was out after 1 lap and like 1min17sec!! And that was his new car or something!! He looked great on friday Prac when we saw him!!

I didn't think you were going so i didn't really look out for you.

I was in the Garage with the Wall 996 RSR (top picture) for most of the weekend. I spent a fair bit of time in the coopers ferrari garage on the satuday and was up and down pit lane in all of the garages on the sunday :banana: what a hard life. I have to say even though its one of the oldest cars out there Teds CCC 360GT is the best sounding car. The Race was pretty boring with such few cars out on track, but when they insist on charging 7K entry fees they won't get cars there. I was sitting with a mate who has his own series (see sig) and he said "there are more people sitting in the grand stand with eligible cars than what is out on track". which is sad for the "premier GT race of the year"

Washington did his best impression of a BBQ at turn 4 on lap 2! from what i heard afterward it was quite bad. He's missing eyebrows and eyelashes ect, so he was lucky to get away with minor injuries. Defiantly not good as they are trying to sell it

It was really disappointing when Daves lower control arm broke on lap 7 as it put them well out of contention

Did you see Riciadello's 1.08.83lap??? it was awesome some 3 seconds faster than the Supertaxis

Yeh Brad wasn't racing, I was there for another reason, so we poped in for a geez quickly!!

Yeh right not good at all for Bryce!!

Nah i didn't see his 1:08 lap!!

i arrived in Melbourne Thursday night as i was planning on being there all weekend with Team Lamborghini before the dick head sold the car so i figured i had already book flights and accommodation i may as well be there all weekend. I ended up going and speaking to Dave and Des Wall on the friday afternoon, and i can honestly say they are one of the nicest and most genuine families in motorsport.

everyone was standing there like "W T F........."

and the best news is they are only going to get faster with the new rules coming in next year. You also missed the V12 jag that arrived on Saturday morning that thing sounded awesome screaming up the straight

That blue jag apparently cost them 700K...........

im stuck in an office all day in the cube farm. The sun is shining out my window, and i can see all the homeless guys and the ducks wandering about in the south parklands. :bunny:

first time i have been jealous of a homeless guy

    • 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?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
