My prediction:

sau_png.jpg

(1) 8:45pm, SAU Gold Coast people running late come north up the M1

(2) 8:46pm, Everyone is in the right hand lane, so a mad dash accross 3 lanes to get to the correct exit in time. At this point several of the group will not be able to get accross and will continue north, probably ending up in Logan somewhere. When they hit the roundabout at the bottom of the off ramp, the majority of the group will take the wrong turn to the left. Several will make the wrong turn straight ahead to Yatala Pies, and although the odds are against it, someone may take the correct turn to the right. Doubtful.

(3) 8:52pm, Having realised they are going the wrong way, they will phone a Brisbane SAU member to find directions. The directions will start with "Do a u-turn", after this the Gold Coast members will tune out and do a right hand turn, followed by another right hand turn when the road runs out.

(4) 9:07pm, After negotiating most of the backstreets of Yatala, they will head south for a good 20 minutes or so before realising they have gone the wrong way. I am not sure what happens at this point, but somehow...

(5) 9:48pm, Gold Coast SAU members arrive on the river on a car ferry and are dropped off at distillery rd, as per the Brisbane SAU members instruction. Here they will follow distillery rd, until there is an option to turn. Which they will take.

(6) 10:15pm, Gold Coast people finally arrive and ring Brisbane SAU members to find out where everyone is. By now, Brisbane people are somewhere more than 4 turns away, so the Gold Coast members will call it a night

(7) 10:22pm, Everyone gets flashed by that goddamn speed camera that always sits just past that on ramp.

(8) 10:43pm, Gold Coast sau members whinge about being caught speeding on intarweb forums, followed by organistion of another cruise in 8 different threads for 4 different locations at 3 different times (and days).....

any gold coast people below labrador/southport/comera, arrr **** it- north gold coast- who dont know where to go, meet me at coomera bp ready to leave at 8, so 745!

it is so friggin ezy to get to this place that its not funny, man even i found it the 1st time, and thats coming from me:)

well thanks for the map Ska.

Now us useless Gold coast ppl understand that aussies actually refers to aussies tavern, which is 2 words for those brisbane ppl who feel the need to shorten everything, as their time is so important that giving the exact name of a meet location is beneath them and shame on any simpleton who has never been to the said location before, as they should know exactly where it is even though only half of the name and no street name are given. Perhaps even refidex page numbers and grid references could be provided for anyone that is pink colorblind.

btw i know where it is and was just taking the piss i do however believe that making other ppls lives easier tops up my good karma and stops me from being defected :headspin:

Dont think so afro, you coming on this cruise? i saw you the other day on corro drive at milton im pretty sure.

YA I'LL TRY TO COME,,

PROBABLY WASEN'T ME U SAW,, I'VE HEARD THERE IS ANOTHER BLUE R34 GTT FLOATING AROUND BRISY ,, GRRRRRRRR,,

SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN THAT ONE,,

It was a pretty good night except for us losing half the people coming out of the carpark. :)

There was nothing wrong with my intercooler supports. I think everyones car has been held together by cable ties at one stage or another.

Anytime steve. There's nothing quite like the challenge of driving through the boonies whilst trying to give someone directions on your mobile and also talking on the radio.

Was a good night except for heaps of people getting lost. :)

Anytime steve. What do you mean dodgy cable tie job? Eeryones car has been held together by cable ties at some stage or another and I've seen much worse than that in the past.

And nothing beats the challenge of driving through the boonies whilst trying to give someone directions on how to follow you whilst still listening to the radio.

Edit: something is buggered with the forums because The time I posted this was about 10am friday the 4th.

    • 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?
