From memory long wang anything under 55sec is pretty good. Best drivers on mini wang get under 25sec.

Good to know, I'll be aiming for about 1m20s then :P

How do you guys normally travel up there?

I'm heading up on Friday Night after work, do you normally convoy up there or just meet at the Motel?

Was planning on leaving from Melbourne CBD at approx 5:30pm or so... (picking up a few guys from the city on the way)

Good luck with that! Ring Rd will be standstill until at least 6.30-7pm

Either leave by 3pm or don't bother until after 7pm. It'll take you an extra 45-60mins if you try and go in peak, if not more. I tried it once, never again.

Ask your boss to let you go early Simon. I'm leaving Doncaster 4.30 - 5.00. Last time I left straight from work at 4.30 it took a really long time to get to the Hume. I'm just glad I didn't leave any later..

Ha, good point :P

Bit tricky with the guys I've gotta collect on the way...

Meh I'll give them some notice and they can suck it up and leave early as well.

:thumbsup: <--- Good friend.

Or just go and sit @ pub for an hour or something and wait for the traffic to die off if you cant leave early.

Ive done that before (when not the driver). As it beats sitting in a car for an extra hour

Or just go the back way like I do (if you happen to live close enough) through Yea & Seymour and you avoid all the traffic.

That's axactly what I'll be doing this time as I'll be leaving after work and will be wanting to avoid the traffic!!!

I cant remember the last time I worked on a DECA Friday :(

I'll probably oraganise a convoy up on the Friday night if anyones interested simply because there's like 11 of us in our group going up together.

I owe you drinks this DECA mofo, ps I'm going up Friday night too!

    • 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.
