hehe well yesterday my clutch arrived

took me just about the day just the get the turbos off just happen to be that my spilt dumps dont fit, they are about half to 1mm off

today i did another step on my custom gauges, this is like my first time fiberglassing so i am pretty happy of what i came up with and hoping it will all fit in the end.

hopefully tomorro the old RB20 will be getting pulled out as the process will be a lil slow now cause leon broke his wriste rollerskating.

well going to be painting it again, candy this time insted of the metal cast colours

anyways left me camera at the work shop so dont have any pics as now

well today, trimed up the gauges pod and had another trial fit, looking good still needs a bit more sanding then going to start with body fill

also now there has been work started with removing the engine but the actual remove is going to happen tomorro so engine kinda has been stripped

tomorro, well engine should be removed and i am going to get started with trying to modify the spilt dumps so they fit. and maybe do a lil more on the gauges

    • 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.
