Finally I got something worth posting in this section.Today I installed my cat-back, BOV and smoked fender indicators, sounds nice now! Tomorrow the center dash comes out and I'm gonna make up a single din plate to mount up the 52mm gauges i got and maybe a switch panel to go in the ashtray nice and stealth like. Lovin the satisfaction you get from DIY

Well not so much something I did, but some little punk ass vandal bitch threw a rock at my car last night and smashed the right fog light. NOT HAPPY!!! :domokun:

Too dark to catch him, and I didn't realise that it was actually smashed until I got to my gfs place. Bulb is intact, just need the glass. Betting replacing it will cost enough to give me the irrits, but not enough to put through insurance, unless the paint is marked in the light of day.

In happier news, going round to Brad's shortly to get my stereo stuff done. Should take my mind off the fog light...

Glenn, sounds like good stuff, did you get your Nistune sorted too?

You heading to Kadina next weekend Ruby?

Sure am! Most likely heading up Saturday evening (after a kids birthday party) for the sunday show. Stag is in it. :thumbsup: Its Ford country up there, so I'm thinking of sticking some Ford badges on it :laugh:

The one I was looking at ended up not being compatable on account mine isn't a rs4, so the nistune will have to wait till I got the coin for the chip + tune.

Luckily I got plenty of other bits and pieces I can mess around with in the meantime. Didnt get anything done today, we'll see if I get round to it tomorrow

FINALLY installed the new head unit. has an extra feature i didnt realise. the music kept playing when i unplugged the ipod cable. yes, music over BlueTooth!

just gotta put the AUX cable in and run all the crap to the rear tv tuner, and finally mount that properly. maybe i wont show up to work tomorrow..........

Brad and I (well, mostly Brad :whistling: ) got the new head unit, HDTV tuner and English conversion installed.

Immaculate job, comes up looking almost factory with the head unit screen folded in. English translation unleashes some extra goodies too.

Couple of annoying quirks with the Clarion head unit, it doesn't allow AV IN while connected to the iPod (needs the USB cord disconnected) and we couldn't get around the video block. Should be able to sort the second one out in time.

Huge job, but everything went back perfectly and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks Brad!

nice work but does the blue tooth connection quality drop from cable??

always wondered!

ohh damn, i bet mine will do that too! might mean BT streaming for me........... i dont like the idea of unplugging the USB cable all the time as i want it plugged in permanantly and the video lead to the TV tuner AV input.

Aaron, quality didnt appear to change. but i couldnt get it up very lound due to neighbours. BT has enough bandwidth for a 128k/sec music stream AFAIK.

ouch thats a lot of coin. could put a car PC in for that price and do even more

Yeah I know...but I don't wanna deal with the windoze crashing or BSODing or some other shit that comes along with PC's...

Plus I get mates rate for this stuff anyway...

LOL...lucky you.

I'm sure BSOD's are always a layer 8 issue..never Redmond's fault right? :whistling:

Mostly, yes :P

Its like if you put Mazda 121 brakes on your Stagea, is it Nissans fault if you cant stop?

LOL...

Don't get me wrong, I love Win7, I run it on my HTPC and users have nothing but good thing to say after we've rolled out 500 new Dell's with Win7 on them.

I just can't be stuffed having to deal with a BSOD if, say, I developed a bad sector on the HDD where the MBR sits. Yes, running a SSD will minimise shit like that from happening...but I deal with enough of that crap daily. The Stag's my place of "zen"!!

I know a carputer is more flexible and whatnot but by the time I get all the parts the price is pretty close to what I can get one of these Alpine HU's anyway...

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
