Well on the way back from work yesterday, alternator stopped charging completely. Managed to get the car off a busy road, and parked it in a side street (flat battery). Today, grabbed a second hand alternator, threw it in the car and away I went. So far so good, no more flashing HICAS light as of yet. I still hear a solenoid clicking away in the passenger side of the boot. I'll suss it out tomorrow. I'll clean the grounds as well.

Got an update on this issue, which popped up yesterday. Volts got real low (dipped below 12 while engine was running), HICAS system goes spastic (flashing light, can very clearly hear the pump going off every second, steering obviously kicking in sync with the pump). The voltage would go as low as 6.5V while driving (lost radio, and eventually HICAS). Went and bought a new battery, all sweet for a few minutes until the volts dropped below 12.5V. Strange thing is, sometimes the volts would go up to the usual 13.5V mark and everything will run sweet. So, the HICAS system is very sensitive to the voltage (as documented here on SAU), the strange thing is trying to locate source of the voltage drop. I hope the alternator isn't dying. I've cleaned the plugs at the terminal with contact cleaner it fixed the issue for about a minute. One of the fusible links is a little dodgy, I might try to replace the terminal. I'll also have a look at the alternator tomorrow and hopefully find some sort of resolution. *edit* Unplugging the HKS turbo timer doesn't make a difference. I'll suss out the wiring anyway in case it's not grounded properly.

Street car? QFM HPX

I don't see what's so great about pod filters, sure, they're good for saving some space (e.g. custom piping on a GT-R), but on a relatively standard car, there's no point IMO. If you don't think the stock airboxes are that great, look up Mine's R34 on youtube .

Bahahahah @ Yo-Yo's comment OP - take it into various speed/work shops and tell them what you want. People usually do the things described above to get stance, you will lose driveability, especially if you're driving around Sydney.

Spotted yesterday white R32 GT-R on mesh-style wheels, we had a good time checking each other out . I was pulling off Epping Rd at the lights with the safety camera.

Spotted a red Stagea with club stickers about half an hour ago at the Epping/Lane Cove Road junction.

Damn I should've done what you said smithy, but didn't know about it Thanks for the headsup.

Location?

Went to one Fully Salon years ago, waste of time and money IMO. You have to REALLY be into that scene to enjoy it, or just a teenager so you can check out the chicks and the fully sick cars.

Isn't that a show 'n' shine?

"Williams & Wood Auto Repair" Service = oil and filter right? Spark plugs, oil pump, water pump, timing belt, etc?

Go to my relo's workshop in 35 Whiting Street, Artarmon. You can also check his R31 out if he brings it around. I only let him touch my car Tell him Ravi sent you Phone: 9438 2244 Also, I think I've seen your car around, I work in Chatswood.

Yep, white Passage with dished BBS wheels. He's around the Blacktown area OT: Last week I spotted a silver BNR32 with meshies, low, on M4 around 10am heading eastbound. Think it was a Tuesday. Also spotted a gunmetal BNR32 with dark TE37s in Artarmon, nice stance.

That might have been Elliot

Cruised for a bit with a Gunmetal|black BNR32 on M4 earlier tonight, I gotta get out to a SAU cruise.

Melbourne I'm guessing

Interested in Nismo centre gauges if you decide to separate.

Everything is for R32 GT-R, some may fit R33 GT-R dude (e.g. AFM, FPR)

pictures of intercooler

You'll have to wait a couple of weeks since he's overseas at the moment.

I found your pictures in the trackday thread over at R31SC <1,000km old, 1.25 track days later Don't use cheap parts

Spotting an R35 on Delhi Rd Some sort of matt grey colour

Just spotted a white R32 GT-R on pacific hwy in Chatswood, black/carbon bonnet and bronze wheels.
