Well today my car got side swiped while i was at uni by what looks like optimus prime.

Bastard didn't leave any details, which shits me as i'm up for replacing 2 doors and a rear quarter panel. Luckily, however it was on a common-whore not on a skyline but give it a week or two and it could have been :D .

Second bit of bad news car was going to get sold this sunday.

Just thought i'd rant on here for some sympathy from strangers and optimus if your reading this F U.

Thanks for the sympathy guys booked it in today to get fixed. Said i'd supply the doors and asked when he could do it. So he said whjen you get the doors get back to me. 20 minutes later i came back with doors should be fixed by wednesday. total of 1250 repaired and colour matched. Sad thing is two people with cash offered to come pick it up this weekend. Oh well it happens

would anyone here actually leave there details if they hit another car, assuming that know body else saw you, i'm sure most of us would just drive off.

Unless you hit some bomb of a car.. Or someone you didn't like.. maybe drive off

Otherwise leave a note, right thing to do.

Shouldn't have to worry about it anyway as it doesn't happen often.

I can see why he didn't. And lets face it we all would think about driving off.

It's alright hopefully this whole Karma thing will work out and one day he and his whole family will be driving down the road chanting "o'doyle rules" and there will be a banana peel and those of you who know billy madison will know how it ends.

I course I'd leave a note. People need to be responsible for their actions.

    • 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?
    • 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.
