RRRRRREPOST!!!

;)

Hey, if you guys are pissed because the GT-R is a) looking ghey, B) taking too long, c) not Nissan style, just send a hugely bagging e-mail to:

carlos-ghosn@nissanismybitchnow.co.jp

Some car here that's $325,000. It's a car but when you drive it into water it turns into a boat. But I don't know of anyone who would drive into the water because that's just really stupid. I don't think anyone's bought one, I know I wouldn't. That's a waste of money, in my opinion.

Oi! Amanda! This thread was going to turn into a HUGE Carlos Ghosn bitchfest, and you just bllllllllew it off going on about amphibious vehicles... did you read the thread title? I thought not...

Back to th` Wasteland with ye! Gwarn! Back! BACK I tell thee!!!

coz you're american :rolleyes: it happens.. anyhow, NEXT :)

2007 is a very long way off. Going on all the rumours and speculation you would have thought everything was pretty much finalised. By the time 2007 nobody will care about the GT-R, and they'll have lose most of the market.

So that just makes the V35 some inbetween freak vehicle all on its own? If its 2007 by the time the GT-R comes out it will have absolutely no shared components with a car nearly 6 years old.

seems like it.. good bye nissan performance vehicles. All you see on the road from Nissan is damn 4wD and tank people movers these days

huh? were'nt we heading out of worldwide depression? :rolleyes: or was that yesterdays news?

I don't know whether japan even came out of the last one to be honest.

Yes, Japan is an economic basket case, but at least they still have considerable export volume. If the US folds there will be mass unemployment in Japan, and it is not going to be pretty.

In the US, before the great depression radio, aviation, and automobiles were all in a boom, just like personal computers and the internet are now. Before 1929 there were over 2,000 public companies listed as being in the automobile or automobile parts manufacturing business in the US. Only three survived, GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Things are far worse now then they were back then just before the economic crash.

This is going to be real bad. If Nissan are smart they are not going to be spending zillions of dollars developing an expensive new car which no longer has a market big enough to recover the development cost. So I believe they are delaying the release date, they know what is coming.............

You know Predator, I think you hit the nail on the head. This is not about a "Porsche toppling GT-R", but about Carlos Ghosn moving and making it *his* GT-R... like I said before, it`s gonna take until 2007 for Ghosn to bully the Japs at Nissan to do what he says, and I don`t think Ghosn cares when the car comes out, just so long as it`s *his* GT-R. Proper w-a-n-k-e-r.

>Warpspeed: Man, thats conspiracy shenanigans going on right there, if Nissan know whats going to happen in the future financially and when, why did they almost go bankrupt?

Just about all the big car manufacturers are technically bankrupt, and have been for many years. It all depends on being able to roll over the massive debt and stay in business.

The Japanese banks are also bankrupt. During the 80's property boom they loaned out unimaginable wealth to speculators. When the property market crashed they now hold property deeds at the face value of the loan. These paper assets are all the banks hold against depositors money. If there is a run on the banks the system collapses.

The whole system worldwide is drowning in debt, and phony worthless paper assets. The accountants can "prove" net paper worth exists, but actually there is nothing there.

Even in Australia the average yuppie has a mortgage on his overpriced house, shares in the stock-market, and otherwise is in debt up to his eyeballs, with zero net savings.

If the property market and stock market both crash, and he loses his job, he is finished. Your millionaire yuppie is broke. It could happen at any time. The whole thing is based on an illusion and is on a knife edge.

These days, all the wealth is actually a promise to pay by someone else. It is NOT conspiracy theory, it is FACT.

This is miles off topic though, but it is a subject I have a deep interest in.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
