Best run was through the nation when we left my place to swap the BM for the SSS at about 2:30am. Nooo traffic at all, just flat out, only traffic to deal with was 3 deer that wanted to become hood ornaments!

Oh and a big thanks to 400hp for the phone call today asking if my BMW was meant to be on a flatbed trailer heading towards Parramatta, unfortunately yes it was, but it's awesome to know people keep an eye out for others rides like that! ;)

And b4 you ask, it was the second diff I have blown since owning the car, and it let itself go when the light went green on the Macquarie st exit of the ED this morning. Shyt happens I guess :D

Thanks for keeping an eye out Ed, where did you see it? It feels strange seeing my car moving without hearing it, it's just not natural!

Hehe, that's cool mate... it's good karma :D

I was driving into the city and spotted it on a tilt-tray turning off Parramatta Rd. towards Glebe... you can't miss the quad zhorts, M badge or Red Devil in your rear window :)

Hey - Anyone from the North Shore/Northern Beaches going on this cruise, want to meet up and drive together to the meeting/start point? I'm going to be coming from St Ives.. I know 400HP wants to meet up in Chatswood ? I'm 100% sure i'll be going if my alarm goes off in the morning ! :P

Anyway reply here - i'll be checking tomorrow night ( fri night ) and saturday day ;)

-Alex.

Alright I don't know who else is coming from the North at the moment... I know Mona is picking up Tosh in the morning and I'm meeting Kelvin. The meeting place is the Shell station on the corner of Centennial Ave and Bridge St.

Darky and anyone else who hasn't been there. You go down Pac HWY until you get to Epping road. You turn onto Epping Rd. You shortly turn left onto Centennial and you stop at the first Shell you see.

Meeting here at 6:45.

So far Moanie and Tosh, Sura, Darky, maybe BY BY and me.

did someone say yum cha?

Kel and I coming along.

For the northsiders, which way you going after centenial drive, we're leaving abbotsford at 7am, could meet up one the way....channel 33 I guess.

    • 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.
