Hi All,

After the SCC06 QLD Skyline Cruise on Sunday, I had a look at everyone's cars and heard some stories etc... And thought, how good would it be for people to be able to publish their story of how their car got to the stage it is now.

So, yesterday after a bit of looking around and not finding anything other that personal sites people have set up to show the world their unique and individual machine, I registered www.mycarproject.net and plan to make it into... well, a lot of things really. You would be able to blog (I hate that word, but thats essentially what it is) the entire history of your car, document your mods, upload pictures, journal its path from how you got it, to how it is now, comments / mini-forum - topical discussion. Another way I think of it is like a myspace for you car without all the gay yuppie shit (Not that there is anything wrong with being gay) .

It is in no way limited to a particular brand or model of car, although it would allow searching for a particular make/model/year/engine type/size etc... And I want to give people the ability to show and express their interests in their own car. It is not an open forum like SAu, however it should have the ability for other people to express their interests in other peoples cars etc...

So, I'm just after your thoughts on how you would think this would go and what idea's you think would be good to incorporate. I also emailed PranK about creating something similar for SAU only.

Let me know what you think,

Dave

Yeah, I was thinking more of a structured modification history / blurb about each thing you put in there. So you talk about what was done at the latest tune, what things were found / what you tried and the results. Not just. Tuned to 200rwkw.

That way you can sort of timeline the history and changes made to your car. But anyway, I will just turn it into my personal 34 project site.

Cheers,

Dave

    • 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.
