I had a blast yesterday apart from the weather, car issues and it being freezing.

It was a great day a big thanks to the Peter and Adam for getting it happening for us.

I started the day off really poorly with getting the car back together at 3 in the morning then it would start on the day, got it sorted and arrived a little late. The first few runs I had issues selecting gears and made as small pedal adjustment to give more clutch bite. Ran a few more times and laid down a few high 12's. Everything was running well so dialled in the N20. Ran a 12.337 then a 12.028 off a 6k launch with a 1.654 60 footer. I was pumped I retuned the nitrous jets for a 100 shot and was ready to run that 11. Thats when the bracket racing started and unfortunately the rain too so it was all over.

It was great to meet a few more SAU people and put faces to forum names etc, gotta get some of those ARC winglets Baron look cool.

Adam you should of told me about your car, I could have dropped my car off at home ( 15 minutes away) then picked up yours and taken you both home, I didnt even realise or know you had an issue with the driveshaft thats a real shame you were running very well.

      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?
