EF Falcon takeoff

EF Falcon Revs

Maybe its just me but I reckon it sort of does high up in the revs.

They do share the same engine layout afterall. :P

I think its a pretty nice car being 12 years old and nearly stock except for the exhaust system. (I know the owner)

lol sound like youve got a bomb in your engine bay :P tick tick tick tick... sure its not a commodore? lol their v6s love to tick

Hahah yeah I think the lifters really need to be replaced!

I think its just wear and tear over time, not to mention excessive stress on the motor from floggin it all the time. :D

A bit like a WRX, Skylines are unique in all aspects... after like 5000 RPM's - the Skyline roars like a Godzilla - nothing else can come close.

well i dont know about that, im sure sure mr 599 GTB might have to say something about that....

hehe no but i know where your comming from, the induction noise and the sound of an Rb through a good exhuast sounds IMO the closest thing to a jet from the outside.

at a motorkana in town there was a natro r33, and it sounded heaps like a falcon.

at low rpm a magna with a sports exhaust and cannon sounds a bit like a skyline.

all the natro skylines i've heard sound like aussie fords, but none of the turbos.

      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.
