Cheers, for the sounds advice. Hopefully the 2-way diff, stiff suspension etc doesn't result in me going over the awning. It's at Ararat Victoria along 'one teee hill road'. If you search youtube for 'Ararat Hillclimb', there are some pretty impressive videos. Apparently the course record goes to the driver of a four wheel drive 270z with a nascar v8 crate motor...

ill be there

do it every year good 2 days

viagra is the name of that 270 you talk of and is very very fast up there

i live there so if anyone needs anything or safe place to put cars trailer, have good shead and tools happy to lend out if ya need to fix somthing or anything,

have access to a work shop with hoists and all that jazz if need be

few pics from last years one on here of my times ect

have whole r32 for parts to if anyone need somthing that weekend

That's very nice of you, thanks for the offer. That 32 looks and sounds impressive and that's a massive time gain up the hill. I'm don't intend on breaking any records, I would be happy just to go and have some fun and bring the car home in one piece.

I was talking to Chris Harwood recently, you may know him, he mentioned that the Friday night scrutiny was worth a look and that its a good time to meet and greet. Is there much of a turn out on the Friday night?

Yeah just about everyone one gets down there on the firday + saves time and you get your bag with a sticker and stuff in it, chris might have told yo, we get more runs if there's time in the day so, day runs smooth and most cars having been looked over the night before means we might get 5 or 6 runs not just the 4 for the day

I'm from Horsham, so only an hours drive. Yeah, that was me. I gather that you were in the sliver gtt with the black lenso D1r's? It looked the goods. I posted in the Vic 'spotted' thread, but that isn't somewhere that everyone frequents. We'll have to organise a cruise when the weather permits.

Talk about a thread high-jack,,,get a room you 2 bums. :-)

Cheryl's now ready just gotta wash and polish everything and pack. I have a commodore and a 180sx in my class,,,bit worried about the 180,,,thing is quick.

Cheers

Neil.

    • 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?
