omg :thumbsup: that would have been so freaky!!! damn kangaroo!! least you both got away without any injuries/damage! you'd think they'd hear the car coming... skylines can be pretty loud, and i'm guessing yours is! maybe he thought your car was gorgeous enough for him to try committing suicide on? :happy:

anyways! glad your baby is still on the road :/

Good to hear nothing happened brother..... I've had something similar happen before, last year about a week after getting my brand new car I was travelling down the highway at about 85-90km/h, no bushlands anywhere near in sight, and a kangaroo darted out in front of me from the bit of grass in the middle of the highway!! I swerved and missed it, but it happened so quickly I don't know how the hell I managed to avoid hitting it.

Damn crazy roos!

gday John

The wheels came with the car when I bought it but were pertty chatty looking so I sent these ones to magman and had them sandblasted and repainted came up great had lots of comments about them. Its amazing what a coat of paint will do to an old set of wheels.The new fuel filter is in standard mounting position execpt its after market and expensive but reuasble and no worries about the block glad I could help.

Hi Ben

It is a wicked power curve but awesome to drive even on low boost and surprisingly good of boost too

An absolutely stunning car, Peter. Looked great in the pictures you've been posting over the time of the rebuild, but to see it in the metal is a whole new thing!

Over 300rwkW, is it still a 2.0-litre, or have you had it bored out or thrown in a stroker crank?

      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.
