Thought id break up the car chat with a different thread.

Was wondering what others do to thats interesting or to keep themselves occupied.

OK WE ALL KNOW WE LIKE CARS AND COMPUTERS.

So besides "working/driving/modding" your car and "playing/fixing/building" computers what do YOU do to keep yourself occupied, better yourself in your spare time :laugh:

I'll start if i must...

Currently:

Homebrew beer

Learning to play electric guitar

Build models (cars...yer i know its car related :laugh:)

Electronic projects (anywhere from building them Jaycar kits to building myself a Tube Amp)

Any one else care to share, or are we all just boring car nerds? :miner:

Apart from Cars, Computers I do bugger all else.

Head out fishing when the weather is good to do so.

The old man has 2 year old Haines Signature 550c, 130hp 2 stroke.

He's currently eyeing off a more fishing suitable Mustang 2250 (? I think it is) Walkaround. Will possibly be a stern drive as the fuel economy of stern drives are pretty damn good.

I'm into my fishing, mostly land based at the moment. I'm on fishsa.com under the same name. I get out there whenever i can :P

I also ride bikes, used to race BMX but in the last year I've converted to MTB as they are easier on the body.

    • 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?
