Hey Guys ;

Thought I should tell you about this one.

On friday at about lunch time I was waiting to turn left at a set of lights at Wetherill Park when the van in front of me decides to do an illigel u turn through the end of the yellow. When a Porsch carrera comming the other way, which is also running the light, locks em up trying to miss the van slides accoss the intersection, missing the van, slams into the front of my line.

But wait theres more ; The porsch was going at such a speed, and after hitting the medium strip and getting partly airbourne, spins to again slam into the back of my car ABOVE the back right wheel shunting my car about fifteen feet sideways. And heres the best bit , Im whiplashed and going into shock fast , as im trying to get out of my car ( unbelievably the drivers door is untouched ) the Porche driver jumps out of his car and runs acrross the road and starts to abuse the van driver who has stopped. Im staggering around with people grabbing me to get me out of the traffic ambulance arrives, neck brace, back brace, and off to Westmead hospital to me, four hours of head and spiinal X-rays in intensive care for me, thank you very much.

No damage to me except neck muscles and tendons

NICE ! NICE ! NICE !

Dont know what happened to any of them cause I was haulled off in the ambulance. Late that arvo after getting out of hospital, I got in touch with the tow company and went to the storage yard to get my stuff out of the car. Basically the front of the car smashed half way up and the rear right rear above the wheel is smashed and the roof is totally bent !

Not the ticket to ride to a GTR that would wish on anyone. And Im not with NRMA ! They need a seeing eye dog to find their own arses when it comes to insuring import cars ! I know I tried them $3400 bucks for someone thats 42 and has had all their insurances with them for 25 years !!!!! I dont think so ! Shannons $872 is ledgendary !

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
