haha yeah so turns out, i was at my girlfriends parents place when it died, her dad is an auto elecie so he had a look at it for me, we pulled it off and it was the diodes because when it was running with the belt on but the charger wire off it made no sound, so i took it off and called every place i knew, no one made them, i had to work monday so my girlfriends mother took it to an auto electrical place that specializes in alternators, they said they could have gotten the diodes from a chinese company that makes replacements but they did not trust em, they had an alternator off of a mazda they used lol. purrs like a kitty now so happy was not to expensive either,

so recently i woke up to go to work and found i had a flat battery, i checked with my alternator and after i jumped it it was charging around 13.4, there was this strange sound under my bonnet, i thought it was a bearing, but turns out its the alternator might be diodes or the brushes, they quoted me from 200-350 to fix it i thought i may as well buy a new one, so i checked around and No one not even Bosch makes them, they make them for R31's R32's some R34's but not the one i have, the battery i had in it was a 300 made for a R32 lol... not even the right one, i was suposed to have a 450-500. any one else get annoyed by things like this is the alternator dieing a big thing with the 33's
