So...stuck at Melbourne Airport, should have been in the air by now but no.....what's the excuse? "It's a budget airline" or so the budget staff say! Anyhoo, nothing better to do than kill time here :) Should be in Hawaii in 10 hours time and I'm pretty sure I'll be even more pissed than I am now, never realised how well a pint or 5 of Kilkeny go's down with a bowl of chips. For those of you who care I'll be sure to sign on and update my antics :P Almost been in a blue with smart ass Jet Star staff and havn't even left the ground yet! See you this morning! (Yes we are going back in time, go go intenational date line!, a chance to rigth my wrongs!!) -Adz and Dee

when we went to Cairns via Jetstar.. supposed to leave at 8pm.. ended up going to Troys til 1am! Had a nice leisurely dinner. Shame our GeoffGTRtaxiservice had already left the airport :) Plane left at 2:30am...

Squashed knees against seats in front = 30mins of sleep max.

We get in at 6amish and have to drive to motel without map.. geez I have good instincts as to where to go :P

Anyway slept half the day and had to drive to Townsville the next day for a wedding so bit of a waste.. :\

but for $99 flights who can complain! (vs $300 each to townsville!)

Anyhoo, if you don't want to go to Hawaii on Jetstar, let me know and we can swap.. Dee & I can go shopping in the Waikiki Beach market hehe :D

PS Have fun & stay safe :D

Well.....STILL here, another $2 in the internet kiosk :) Yep Bec, sucks balls! Anyhoo, 3 double blacks later and still board. Can't say much for the service. Meal vouvher buys a drink though so thats a plus! Apparently another 2 hours....WTF!!!?? My advise, NEVER fly Jetstar. Yeah it's cheap but you gotta wonder why!

Bec - PIES!!!!

Basti - 2 weeks, who's that in your pic?

Yeah bugger off... bloody whiner.

My mum took 18 hours to get from Wellington Airport NZ to Melbourne airport... should take a max of 3.5 hours with a head wind.

Then when she came over again... she got stuck in Sydney for 5 hours on their tarmac and wasnt allowed to leave the plane or even order any food... this is while i was at Melbourne waiting for her... they wouldnt even let them off the plane to call anyone to let them know they were going to be late.

    • 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?
