Hi all,

I am currently trying to organise a trip for our NZ superlap winning car over to your inaugural Superlap competition.

In short , i am very interested to know how close the top imports are to the V8 Supercars on the same track or are they actually faster? (if they are , i'll save myself the heartache now and just quit :wub: )

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Scott

As it stands for the moment Scott the imports are slower. However I dont think we really have proper times for most of the imports on the GP Circuit at Oran Park. You also have to remember that V8 Supercars run on full slicks. I am sure if you put some o our fastest cars on full slicks they would be very close to V8 Supercar times.

I hope you can organise some sponsors to get over here it would be good to have some friendly overseas rivalry. :wub:

Hi evil weevile i did not see your car there today so i did not know who you where sorry you came out last time we where there didnt you ? Mark and Russ your car looks hot and the times are great this will be one of the cars to watch i think

nice to meet you guys at the track Saturday!! all i can say is you guys in NSW have some bloody awsome race tracks, OP south was a blast and i can't wait to get on the whole track thursday.

i hope the weather is a bit better but we did have the track to ourselves so great for learning the lines.

yeah times were mainly in the low 46's but a few high 45's from Mark.

one weird thing happened, not sure but it seems the right rear tyre has a damaged side wall as it got really nervous on that corner late in the day after we rotated tyres. will find out thursday.

also the bloody track is hard on rims and exhaust!! lol i have never seen ripple strips like it!

cant wait to go back and looking to following some one around!!

cheers russ

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
