Hi all,

I was giving my 32gtr (dead stock) a run on the w/end and a speed hump (those annoying metal ones that you see in shopping centres but a rubber version) came up out of nowhere, i hit it straight on under hard braking but still managed to hit it at about 80km/h :unsure:

Only reason I am concerned is because I was under hard braking and my suspension was under max load, so that when i hit all that energy had to go somewhere..

I went for a drive afterwards and it seemed to be ok, but i am still concerned that i might have done some damage? Should I be concerned?

Mate i did a similar thing, i locked em up before the speed hump that jump out in front of me :S

I then backed off a the last minute and tuned to hit the bump at a bit of a angle. I didnt do inay structural damage but i flat spotted a tyre in the actual bead of it! it went thump thump thump every rotation ! luckily was just ineed of a aanother tyre to fix it . get it looked at by a suspensio place

MANWHORE, I live in the middle of nowhere (50k's outside of Melb). This road has no speed limit and has this long sweeping corner with this dodgy home made speed hump in the middle of it!! I agree with speed limits (most).. they are there for a reason, but i don't speed in suburban areas, thats why i have a honda civic with a 4inch exhaust lol.

Or the rims!! Damn 80km... I was thinking i was going to see some ugly photos here .. thank god i didnt .. hopefully all is well ..

Check your rims .. with a small bump like that id say they would be the worst effected.. doubt you would have chassis or mount damage .. but im sure pedders will find something .. anything to make money!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
