haha, its just been pointed out to me sedanlover that your car is my mates old 4 door

he sits next to me at work

the car looks much nicer now than when he owned it with its ugly 16" rims

good to see its finally being treated with some love and had some money spent on it!

i still have a piece of its original front bar on my desk here at work

wow, so much attention on my car! cool!

sorry, haven't checked out the forum in weeks.

ABOUT MY KIT: front bar is a very good GTR V-spec fibreglass copy. the side skirts and rear bar are some sort of veilside copy/rip off... acutually cannot wait to get rid of them. purchased the car as is, (but with shit 16" 3 spokes). my plans are to eventually fit a full m-sports kit!

the wheels you see in the pics are borrowed off a mate...going to buy them soon!

hey 12DFY... you drove past me on friday afternoon on reedy creek road. had no idea it was you (from this forum). good to see the 4doors uniting.

and yes we should organise a 4door only cruise!

Hey thats funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I was driving along and thinking to myself "bugger me that car looks familiar." Tis a nice sedan mate, got my attention anyhow.

Hey good to see interest in sedan only cruise. Let us know if you are interested and we will organise something!!!!!

Cool, I have two 33 sedans here in my garage so thats a good start. (Thats if missus joins in). I may even leave the baby seat in too. (go the family cars)

its funny, cause i first saw the m-sports catalog in a japanese magazine (option) and thought... i want a 4door R33 and i'm gonna put that kit on it.

and thats when it all started!

Ah yes drift barge you say, thats quite funny as since a skidpan is covered in water you are definately using the barge in the right place. Just kiddin

No i have only been at Gold coast area for four months so have not done skid pan. Let us know when its on and ill unleash my 220kw and my mechanical LSD in the appropriate manner. Been waiting for an excuse to do so.

My car started when i was 21 as a non-turbo and look what happened. So dont write it off as a barge!! + you probably use a tenth of the fuel.

heh, thats how i ended up with mine

i wanted something turbo, missus wanted something family

we all won

Not having a go at it being a family car mate, as I have family as well. 2 kids, everyone is a winner. My mates hammered me when I got it as then i was single and they were all like "get a couple blah blah blah." Perfect example they had coupes, we grew up and had families. Im the only one who still has a skyline.

Practicality and sports in one, you cant lose. You got my support as a family person!!!!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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?

      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.
