Don't fret too much about the slight tick in the engine. All RB26's do this - it is because they have a mechanical (ie shimmed not hydraulic) valve train.

thanks gang ... I took it to engine builder mates today... after he stopped spinning out i had it (because i told no one i was getting) he said the same thing as djr81 mentioned ...Also it has a tinest exhaust leak at a flange where sealent has broken away,,, apart from that lookin foward to giving her a good home ...:P))

its done 140,000km.

What i can tell straight off is someone has spent a bit servicing it and maintaining the driveline.

One thing ill ask is ... AC cant be gased for a few days but cabin is hotter than it should be even at night in the cool ?!?

reminds me of a car with heater on no fan running.

Middle console and dash are not over hot just warm i

My thinking is maybe the 3 inch is causing the heat through the cabin and may need attention but not sure. i dont want the climate contol on all the time when it is gased but until my manual get here i dont know Jack about the heating system ...

the cars temp is perfect at all times ...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
