Joe your lucky you never lowered your car - because your place is absolute murder for lowered cars took me about 15mins of very slow driving to get down that ramp of yours in the Line!!

But i used to work in this place that had a highrise underground carpark and i was only privledged to bring my car in if i had to work til 6pm. I hated that job - but anyway on the way down i used to set off every alarm i could in the ZX (plus ive left black marks in that carpark for them to remember me by) hin the hope that their batteries would be flat when they left - did i mention i hated that job haha!!

Dont take the line into highrise carparks often as i find that the ramps constantly scrape my kit because its lowered aghh! I did once when i had job interview - and never again because every ramp was *sccccraapeee*

Not a problem.

Don't forget I have owned a couple with two more cams , one more turbo and a LOT less room to work under the bonnet.

Aussie delivered - yes it is which gave me a shock when i found out because it had to have gone up to hong kong first then come back down here in 95. Been with Ash Farlay for all of its lifespan til it came into my evil hands in 2000.

In really good nick.

didnt happen to go up my street yesterday arvo did ya? haha mum was painting the front lounge and i get "Lauren, Lauren come here quick before ya miss it" but i was too late - apparently a white skyline was doing a slow cruise of the our street and since skylines are a extremely rare sight around here - she reckons it was somebody looking for my car haha.

my cars around - its usually parked down the side - or quite often im out. I dont exactly spend much time "cruising" around high wycombe haha you'll often see the car parked outside the liqour shop picking up something haha

    • 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.
