Yeh do it! s15 front would be rarish, but not impossible to source. well worth doing if you can do without ya car for a few weeks.

s14 silvia is still a newer model, i *think* the front still looks similar to the s15?. the s13 is the older kind (1992 etc)

at least it would be unique hey :D

Thank adam and gts-t.... I have to NOW go to a certified RAC repairer..... So at least my car will be fixed... but I don't think I can go "hey do a sileighty conversion for me - oh and its on the RAC" hahahaha

Aidwin is getting his car done at bently autoworkshop.....

Sneeza, better to walk than go in a Commodore

Do you know whats funny?.....no of course you don't Paul :D sorry hahaha

Ummm anyway the guys that came with the car trailer from my SES unit - well one of them has an SS dunnydooor - he was going to come in that. Wouldnt that have been a perfect photo opportunity - trev car towing jap car. hahaha

okay well if you want to contact RAC speak to your claims officer and ask them if you are able to get another quote to fix your car. because you want to take it to a friend who you know does good work. Then if you can afford, pay a towie $60 or so and tow it elsewhere SAY C-RED for example and get them to do it all. Try to squeeze how much rac is paying for your repairs or what the quote is from your repairer. You can most times call your repairer who RAC authorised and talk to the reception chick and ask her for a copy of the quote for your memorabilia of your car cos you keep records of everything. Suss out with c-red against the cost from the RAC repairer and walla ask C-red to make it cheaper. They can claim up to the RAC repairer cost if it goes over and you pay c-red the difference.

phew there ya go.

I did this with my lancer GSR, got a full bodykit fitted for the cost that Lombardi brothers quoted just to fix some damage on my driver door and interior console etc and then i sourced the console stuff for $50 out of my pocket, bargain mate

hehe its all good fun tihs insurance crap.

They are gonna pay out that amount regardless so why not work it in your favour. anyways jeff or glen or greg will know what i am talking about and you might be able to convince them

you can also try ground FX in malaga they are an insurance repairer and can prolly do this, speak to tony. oh yeah and you gotta act fast and take RAC by storm ...baby yeah!!

    • 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?
