Nice, I love the red but its a pity it fades so bad with time. Thats with any red though.

What'd set you back locally?

yeh, ill try keep the polishing etc up so it doesnt fade...

it cost me $16,300 with a years reg and rwc. also has all the import papers and he gave me 6 wheels (4x stockies and 2x work wheels) everything he had, he gave me for nothing.

Loks Nice Jarryd.

Damn you, you also got S2 tail lights.

Now we need to organise a Melb Stagea Cruise.

PS. I hate you Jarryd lol I was meant to be the only melb member with red

yes, melb stagea cruise is good idea.

and lol, im sorry.

Nice mate, good work.

Not bad a price, interesting actually, I scored my S1 dayz 2yrs ago for $17800 (didnt get extra wheels, lol)

that was with catback exhaust, pod, apexi boost guage and solenoid adjusted to 10psi

Good pickup there in my opinion.

funny you should mention polishing my observant wife noticed just recently on the net somewhere it's not advisable to polish cars with sfhc, be interesting to see if anyone can shed any light on that.

Nah, thats a bit of a crock, you can polish SFHC (Super Fine Hard Coat - its a clear coat paint treatment put on in the factory. If you Stagea has it SFHC will be on your back window at the bottom) What you need to do though, is stick to pure wax type polishes and avoid the buggery out of anything even mildy abrasive. The abrasive cuts into the clear and leaves really nasty swirl marks in it that you will never get out. Mind you, I have never actually polished mine and the water still beads every time it gets wet so I don't see much point.

      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.
