Don't bother googling it.
It's not worth the time you spent looking it up.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Didn't really do any work on it, I went on a Charity cruise organised by Southern Skylines, some realllly nice porsches and Ferraris etc, and about 4 Skylines :p
I was one of the first there, then the other ~150 turned up, and these two parked next to me
And there was another silver one behind me too.

Had my cannon removed and replaced with a much quieter and better sounding muffler and new chrome exhaust tip 
Sounds soooo much better!

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Done this a few weeks ago.
I installed a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running CyanogenMod 10 on JellyBean 4.1.2.
I still have a head unit. It is behind the tablet and volume set. Volume control is done with the tablet.
To power/charge the tablet, I have wired in a second cigarette lighter behind the dash and plugged a Belkin 2.1 amp USB charger.
For audio, I used a 3.5mm audio/video cable. which splits out into 3 RCA cables. Two for left right audio and one for a microphone.
I have a microphone up at the A-Pillar which allows me to use Google Now. (Superior to Siri)
Voice commands + Google search + typing with my voice + other useful crap. It works flawlessly.
I use an app called Tablet Talk which connects my phone to it so I can make calls and send texts using the tablet.
I use an app called Tasker to automate everything. When I turn the key to the Acc. position the tablet turns on Bluetooth, WiFi, sets volume, sets brightness, keeps the screen on and starts playing music. Turning the car off does the opposite.
I have set my phone to run as a wireless hotspot when it is connected to my cars Bluetooth. So I can stream YouTube and other sites.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
How did you mount the tablet to that bracing? Or does it just sit there?
I'm tempted to do similar, except I would have to buy a car charger for mine :/
