Apollo Altitude XC - comes standard with dimpled rotors, fully sick gear box, leather seats, damper adjustable shocks etc etc and was recently modified with halogen headlights, little gizmo thing similar to an Apexi RSM, nice chunky piece of a security system and water cooling system.

In light of the amount of cars being stolen, can I suggest blanking No. plates and being careful about talking about home suburbs.

Where you have a daily you probably have a loved one (skyline,etc).

By the way, love the wagon.

Sorry to sound a bit anal, but had some INTERESTING pm in regards to the car I have for sale.

yeah i agree blank those plates guys. i dont wanna post my pics cause the thing sticks out too much and gets parked out the front all the time.

i call it oldzilla ammunst many other stupid names as its an oldschool dato with a inline6 2.6L just needs another cam and twin turbo and she'll be sweet :wave:

many a time people question why i still drive it as its pretty f'd but the thing never dies (despite 5 years of thrasing, it was my first car) and i can leave it anywhere a not have to worry about a thing. also good for getting airbourne over train tracks and driving over curbs n kids and freaking people out with the electrics (dont think many people realize upper model cars had it back in the 70s)

my daily owns all your dailys!

Bought several years ago for 300 bucks, already had t bone damage and left hand rear 1/4 damage... during the time ive had it the bonnet latch failed while gf was driving it and bonnet flew up on the freeway... timing belt snapped as it still had the ORIGINAL belt and has 350k+ kms new belt was 7 bucks and took me several hours to do... When i bought the car off the girl who crashed it several times.. it hadnt been serviced in 5 years lol... so i changed the plugs, oil and filter, that was it... now every time i do a service on the 32 i use the oil from that and chuck it into the rolla :D

best part is.... as shitty as it looks... the Air con, the heater, P/S, brakes and everything are bloody awesome, starts first crank every time and cost me 15 bucks a week in fuel to get around hahahaha

front guards may or maynot have been damaged by drunken fly kicks from me and mates

    • 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?
