hey everyone, been a member here for a short time and havent really introduced myself, so id thought ill do it now,my names josh and i drive a gunmetal 1993 r32 rb20det manual,

recently had an accident (hit a pothole which spun me out cudnt gain control in time) ran up a gutter and smashed my passenger side into a tree :mad: the shell/chasis were pretty much beyond repairable,the whole running gear worked fine and still turned ova no worries so i had to source a new shell took me me a week to get my hands on 1, so this is where the rebuild starts....

14th of july: got a car trailer went and picked up my shell got it for $1100 from abc wreckers in oxley reason i got it cheap was because the guy didnt want the shell he wanted the motor out of it cuz he had plans of puttin it in a mitsubishi pajero :) i dropped the shell off at my girlfreinds uncles place (got a big workshop there) then went and picked up my car and brung it over as well. We first started taking out intercooler, radiator disconnecting lines anything that would get in the way of gettin the mottor out, we then disconnected the tail shaft from the diff then from the gearbox, unplugged most of the electrics, while me and a mate were working on all of this, my girlfreinds uncle was cutting the radiator support off the new shell (it was bent to the sh*thouse) and that summed up the first day

15th of july: started ripping off panels, seats, heaps of little bits and piece,disconnected my exhaust (not a single scratch on it from the accident :( and then dropped the motor and gearbox and front suspension out and wheeled the old shell back, another day over

21st of july: jacked the rear end of my old shell up, took out my fuel tank and hooked it up to my new shell, we then dropped my rear subframe out and assessed the damage (snapped tie rod, snapped upper controller arm, bent camber arm and split my diff :domokun: ) and called it a day

22nd of july: went to "all automotive import parts" at seventeen mile rocks TOP PEOPLE I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THEM ;) and picked up the parts i needed, except diff as i couldnt afford it atm and camber arms as im going to go aftermarket. went out to my car, and slapped on these parts, decided not to put the subframe up yet as it wud b alot easier to put the diff in. from there we fiddled around on bits and pieces and then fnished for that day

25th of july: few parts that i bought over the net were starting to arrive (camber arms and so on) so it was go ahead with the subframe, went down to all automotive picked up my diff went out to my car put the diff and camber arms on and bolted my subframe up!!

28th of july: got my radiator support off my old shell and welded it on to my new shell, fiddled around on a few other things, assesed damage on my front suspension and motor etc. (just needed a new fan shroud, castor rod, and lower controller arm) went down to all automotive again to pick up the LAST parts lol,

29th of july: started transferring things from my old engine bay into my new one (power steering resovoir and so on) hooked clutch pedal up (PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!) replaced my lower controller arm, dragged my old shell out of the way, so we are ready to drop the new shell over my engine .......

SORRY I HAVENT TAKEN ANY PROGRESS PICS BUT I WILL START TOMORO

CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES ON THE PROGRESS

      r34's love to squeal

      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?
