new filter screen and gasket on auto trans (leaking) Done

new trans cooler hoses (leaking) Done, plus new trans cooler from 34GT-T

new exhaust, partly for performance, partly cos it sounds like a farking steam train, and partly cos im loosing brain cells from the fumes (Leaking) Done, orignal system re-fitted and repaired, for $35...

front disks machined and new pads Done

fix divers door rubber seal (leaking) Done. 3M duble sided tape for the win!

clean out chrome roof trims (full of leaves and shit) To do in the morning, autosol to the rescue

new diff mounts, super pro or similar (current items go CLUNK every time you select or deselect drive, or accelerate/decelerate) )Still to do, dont have the part number

In preparation for the Nationals, I thought to strike a few tasks off the list....

still N/A at the momnt, didnt have time to boost it due to the good metal fab guys here in Canberra all booked out for the next 3 weeks. So I have the "TURBO' cam cover on, will have to coverup the 'turbo' word for the minute.

Pics to follow...

      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.
