got it now ~ one thing i hate about their regulations is that you need to be a solicitor to bloody read them...and understand them fully.

When I read the one about wheel sizes it seemed to me that if a car in the same model run has bigger you can go 1 inch wider than that...but it wasnt very clear...

hehe..funny..if the owner of the tint place gets busted for tinting the windows to non ADR specs he's in trouble ;)

BTW: that links contains most roadworthy/ADR items in VIC and all the requirements. Its pretty good, even if its a bit technical.

Yup, I didn't know that until I read that too. That means many Excel and Lancer drivers should be pinned for having 18" wheels on their cars. How many times is _that_ enforced though, and yet if your car is 1cm too low, bang.

i find that the r34 has no traction whatsoever even with tcs on.

i am in straight line in 2nd and decide to step on it a bit and it begins to lose traction.. this is in the dry and i can feel the power back off to stop the wheels from spinning up...

is this usually the case or have i just got really crappy tires, though new, i have never heard of the brand.. it's WAH"somthing"

mine currently has simex too, they are cheapies but seem to grip just fine, they are around $170>180 each or so I am told.

Ed: not much, just cat-back [kakimoto 3.5"], pod filter and :)

Less than you by looking at your avatar!

hopefully around 160 - 170 rwkws

    • 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.
