Air shocks were screwed. Their design is you cant replace the shock, so for a 15 year old car, they were gone. Couldnt get a roady here (not dodgy) so I sold it. I was too honest about the car and only got 8k for it.

It was a nice car to drive around illegally yes :P

New owners are Paul and Melissa

It will be Melissa's (Miss nismo) car

They should have it in 2-3 weeks

Cheers Darrin.

The Stagea arrived in our driveway on Monday afternoon, after leaving Southport about the same time last week (apparently the transporter came across a flooded bridge and had to find another route).

I have spent the public holiday today cleaning it all up and familiarising myself with this piece of family wagon magic. The white pearl colour is simply amazing when freshly washed.

Engine runs extremely smooth and quiet, with the nismo exhaust giving only just a noticable note, fantastic.

The premium Addzest sound system sounds fantastic (Bass engine under passenger seat, and Digital sound processor under driver's).... although some of it will end up being binned (Sat Nav and TV is in Japanese and the head unit will need a FM expander). ANYBODY HAVE ANY NEED OR IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THESE COMPONENTS?

I was lucky enough to find three small tokens of the previous owner's life with the car also:

a 10 Yen coin, a Cigarette that had been dropped down the seat, and the rear ashtray was full of aqua coloured little 'pearls' (old airfresheners I assume).

Its off to vehicle inspection and ID check tomorrow and then she is on the road!

      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.

      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?
