When you recognise the shape of commodore and falcon headlights in your rear view mirror then get paranoid it might be a cop

When you've come out of some twisty roads and say to yourself, I wish I had better tyres

When you turn into a side street after you took off a little quick and you didn't notice the cop car pass you, then watch your rear view mirror and see them hit the brakes and indicate to u-turn

When you have a black carbon patch on your rear bar from your exhaust after you've taken it out for a bit of fun

When your the only person on the freeway late night/early morning and you get the thought of smashing the accelerator but then thinking, ahh I'd better not.

Lol, I'm already paranoid about unmarked cars, I'm a model driver whenever there's a late-model Aussie-built sedan behind me, and I don't even have my R32 yet. I know there are other unmarked cop cars, but in my experience they're usually the latest model Aussie-built sedan, eg FG Falcons or VE Commodores. The police buy their cars in fleets like every other government organisation.

When you leave 5 minutes early just to do a check over of your skyline and allow her to warm up.

When you fly to Sydney with only seeing photos of the car and details of what the owner has told you and your at his place all of 5 minutes before driving the car back to Brisbane lol

When you hear an exaust and look around to find out what sort of car it is only to find a lancer, etc next to you and think to yourself, dam thought i might have had some competition

"You know you drive a Skyline when you read this thread and laugh cause 99% of the posts you can relate to."

Loved this one lol so true

When you park it somewhere and turn your head and admire numerous times whilst walking away from it

When you plan on spending your remaining money on the best possible mod for that money

When you have a savings account with no savings in it

When you smile everytime your boost gauge goes above 0

When you leave the shops and start powerwalking back to your car

When your counting down the days that your car gets out of impound (1 week 4 days :P)

When you get speeding fines in the mail

When people think you speak another language when your talking about cars

can relate to pretty much everything in this thread,

you know you drive a skyline when your 3 year old son can tell his kindergarden teacher that his dad is coming to pick him up when your 2 blocks away,

you know you drive a skyline when you get pulled over and the cop says f**k theirs 2 kids in car seats in the back,

you know you drive a skyline when old people admire your car and ask you what it is,

you know you drive a skyline when you go for a ride in a new $74.000 2010 Ford GT-P and wait for the 315kw to kick in but never does, had to say "yeah goes good" didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him my rb20det pull's harder,

GT-P :O great 1.8 ton family car though, because thats what it's based on

But i've used my R32 gts-t as a family car for almost 4 year's and would choose it over a ford or holden anyday, luckily my wife didn't make me sell it like so many poor soul's you see advertising their liner's because their having a baby and need a family car

-when your idea of 'DINNER FOR TWO' is a long trip out to K.F.C. 6 suburbs away, go through drive through and then head down to the Maccas carpark and meet up with your mates and eat in the car.

-when you spend more time looking into on coming traffic for other imports than you do looking where you're going.

-when you drive 40 mins to your girlfriends place and as soon as you get in tell her that you gotta boost to the servo to get a drink.

-when your driving your import and you NEVER see another import on the road, and when your driving your girlfriends woowoo, you see 10,000 imports.

    • 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?
