REdgtst Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Anyone cruising this weekend? Only had my car a week and a half and want to test it out....... 1993 S1 GTSt V spec...... Only got a Poddy and HKS super dragger exhaust, and front and rear strut braces...... Soon to put boost controller in (when warrranty wears off), PFC, FMIC, and maybe bigger turbo depending on how the stock one copes at higher boost levels...... Got to suss some bigger (wider) rims aswell. Does anyone know whether the PFC will work with active LSD...... I couldnt get a confirmed answer out of anyone on the other forums. (From what i have gathered some people have had problems and others havnt????????????). I live in the hills so have a fun drive on greenhill road every day? -- looking for other liners to boot with!!!!!!!!!!!

Sambo33 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 nope, it only charges the battery about 50% of the time, so sometimes i park & car wont start afterwards Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/131/#findComment-1548604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozila Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 i think it has been sitting in the workshop too long and now starting to play up. have you fully charged your battery before coming to the conclusion that its the alternator?

Sambo33 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 we checked it with a multi-meter, and the alternator is only working on and off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/131/#findComment-1548615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozila Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 fook. i checked mine all my connections ie battery and alternator and mine is gone as well. what a co-incidence that both of ours are shat itself. on another note, i managed to do some spray painting.

Sambo33 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 for sure! glad to hear you happy with the result! im heaps pissed off, i had heaps of driving planned for this weekend & i cant go anywhere where i have to park Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/131/#findComment-1548630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozila Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 thats why i dont take the line out. cause i know that if i leave it for a while then the car wont fire up. also, i noticed that when i go to start the car then the battery needs to be completly charged before it would even struggle to start. The alternator drains the crap out of the battery though. btw pete's going to have a word with his electrican friend who will hopefully give a quote on how much a rebuild will cost.

Nozila Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 when you realised your alternator was playing up, how did you manage to start the car sam? did you clutch start it or jumper start it......??

Sambo33 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 apparently the problem with mine is the regulator, and there is no replacement part. im picking up a 2nd hand one next week. car went on the dyno too but the fuel pump wasnt happy above 4500RPM we think thats due to the alternator problem Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/131/#findComment-1548646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
