hey guys - we *should* be there - but I am going to start the stereo install on the stagea , and depending on the progress I may or may not be there for the cruise. Obviously if the cars in a fit state to come along we will be there!

that is the most p1ss weak excuse i have ever heard for a pre-emptive "get out of cruise free" attempt.

Man up and be there.

well to be honest I thought I would get in early as I dont gotz no intarweb at home

nah.. i will just busta hump and I am sure I will get it done -weather permitting!

Well just so that you all know, The map is set, and hopefully no-one will get lost.... if you do it won't be the fault of the instructions!!

I have added the aforementioned quiz, it's about 30 questions, every other one is either on Perth, or Stagea's..... some are fairly tough.... so now you know why we are called the SWAT.... he he!

Pretty good prizes for the winners (and for the people that don't get so many right).

There may also be a couple of spot prizes for ..... well wait and see!!

Looking forward to a fun day, with lots of smiles!! :down:

Just don't do any rain dances.....

And really Shane it isn't that hard to install a stereo..... besides you have Friday and Saturday.....

Cheers Guys

if i can do it so can you lol. but i have to take the head unit out again because i forgot to hook up the power for the areial amplifier.. but meh i didnt install a stereo to listen to the radio.. :D

yer well i feel like a dodo... reading it as saturday not sunday... damn hang overs.

ill come down for the meet point but that is about it..

the car is under warranty, but still dont want it to break and not have it for weeks on end.

Great work John!

I'm sooo excited to meet other Stagea owners and see lots of Stags together! Talk shop about potential performance upgrades, etc. Plus get lots of pics :down:

I'll have to get the polish out tomorrow and make sure our car aka "Ag" is looking his Sunday best :P

Can you email me a copy of the map, because as previously mentioned I may have to try and catch up/ meet up enroute.

See you all there!

Oh well the latest forecast on the weather is: some showers, possible thunderstorm!! Don't let this put you off. We are bringing a couple of very large garden umbrellas, and some rope to tie them down! if anyone wants to bring a tarp and ropes... be my guest.

The maps will be given out at Burswood.

Just a note on the quiz.... The quiz is written to keep pace with the cruise. Some questions will need to be answered as you go by certain points, (or at least these points remembered, if you are on your own). All of the Stagea questions can be answered at any time. I accidentally repeated one question, but you won't get double points for answering it twice! :cheers: There is a 1st prize, so no conferring at meet points, you can go through it all at the end.

Everyone will get something, just for showing up.

So, looking forward to seeing all the old faces and new ones......

See you there.

John

got the info from chuckie last night been a bit out of touch with the forum lately but going to be there.

Hey chuckie how much fuel did you use last night I went through 1/4 a tank. Glad I don't drive my girl every day.

Karl never look at that when we are out on an evening like that ???,i think that 20 litre`s may be more ??,rev`s never under 4,500/5000,so it goes through a bit but, you we`er with front boy`s & they we`er quick,the wrx hurt going up to martin he had no idear on the road which i do use often,2nd/3rd got work out,need some sway bar`s would make it alot better,see you sunday.

started the stag to head on down to say hi and the 4wd relay went nuts!

:blush: didnt want to risk it... once she is all fixed ill be there for sure next time ok

hope you all had a good time!!

sorry we didnt make it :thumbsup:

the stereo install is just taking a LOT longer than I anticipated. I really dunno wtf is taking all the time to be honest !!!

but I have run the cabling for the rear speakers thru the factory harness ( so you cant see another set of wires near the door hinges ) and yeah just stuff like that takes forever.

( HINT- get some whipper snipper cord -pass it thru the wiring harness - and tie the cable to it- pull back )

and all the running around we had to do on sunday ( picking up the power cable etc )

so all thats really left to do now is to get the seats back in ( only drivers in right now )

and connect all speakers to amp etc.

I drove the stag into work today ( so I can piss off early and finish the install ) haha.. kinda funny driving a stagea buit for 1 !

so yeah hope you all had fun ! shame bout the weather

( I had to go fit some lightbulbs for mum and get the power cable so I did all that when it was raining )

Now it's a p1ss weak excuse!

if you could drive to work today, how come you couldn't have chucked the passenger seat back in and come out yesterday.

If you had you would have missed all the rain, we did, not one 'brolly reqd.

Next time we'll try to give you more notice!!!

Shamus, you missed out on a really good day. I hope everyone enjoyed the map and the quiz. I enjoyed making them and getting and giving the prizes.

Steve and Mandy won the 1st prize.... (T-shirt)

Leroy and Penny won 2nd (flask)

I guess that I should say that Supercheap in Melville donated the socket set (3rd prize), which was won by Daniel and Dale.

The best all-around answer for "I love my Stagea because?" was from Graham..... "cos everything else sucks!"

Thanks guys for all the photo's and supporting the day, just a pity that a few more didn't make it..... still I think that it rated well.

Rebold Hill look out was something.........talk about take over the car park!

Looking forward to the next one..... hopefully I helped to "lift the bar" a little.

A bit more organisation, (and help) and we could have had much better prizes. So I am going to offer my help to whoever wants to do the next one. I reckon that I can get a few good prizes out of people if we try hard. I once did a combined car club quiz night, and we had prizes for the top 16 tables!! First prize was a weekend for 6 in Albany, including the fuel to get there!! 2nd a weekend for 2 in Perth.

Something like that might a few more turner-uppers!!

    • 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?
