Met some more people from the club, yesterday, special mention must go to Al - top guy, Chris (Black R33), Darren (R32) and Zul. Few others as well but didnt catch your names. James - thanks for organising the cruise down, even if you did disapeer as soon as we joined the freeway and didnt see you until we got there!

Thanks, always like to help my fellow skyline enthusiests. Hopefully that front bar held on till Chris got home. It was great to hear that the guy, who caused the accedient, actually admitted fault and organised all the insurance stuff within a couple of hours. There are still some fair and honest Holden drivers out there :D.

What happened to you as we left Megamart? We all pulled over on the Monash on ramp and waited till we thought everyone had caught up.

Some REALLY great pictures buddy :D

They day was great, i had more fun in the pits catching up with everyone than actually watching the track, only saw 3 group sessions.

Hey Al

I was at the back of the que at the on ramp but by the time we had all filtered on it was only Chris, and they guys in the R32 and me left in sight!Lol! The three of us just cruised together until the accident. I have one more pic of the aftermath so will put that up.

Zul posing! Yeah was the best outcome you could hope for in that situation, just a shame it happened. Great repair job by the way.

You did a bloody great job on the bar Al!!! We were talking about it all the way home and yeah, Chris followed us half way back to Melbourne and the bar stayed on fine... looked stronger than it was, hahaha.

awesome pics... what were everyones times?

My best time was a 2.11 (not happy with that) Only got out 3 times and black flagged on my last run. Very happy to get on the track at last and give it a go. I will need lots more track time to improve skills and style cos I can't drive... obviously. I need bigger... you know...BALLS!

I was blowing heaps of smoke (no catch can - straight onto dump pipe) down the straights each time I went out, was very concerning to see the cabin fill up with smoke...

Most of the other guys were flying. Most were in the 1.55 to 2.05 (even first time out @ PI) Snowy got a 1.48 give or take.

Had a look on WRX.com for times - not posted yet?

You can find the times here - http://www.racetime.com.au/?event=p0503

I don't know how to get to an overall timelist like we had at calder, you have to look at the individual session times.

I managed a 1.57.6

    • 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?
