Well, I am currently taking an extended vacation, so I can do anytime, as long as advanced notice is given.

The car has been complied with HID intact and also is rego-ed. I spent this arvo putting on the front grille, clear side blinkers, bonnet gas struts and a cold air induction kit. I broke a few things along the way so I'll start a new thread and provide some pics with some commentary.

...Was a bit disappointed that the CF radiator top air difusser didn't fit properly on the sedan though....

Hmm, I should put my nickname on my details section such that u guys dun have to type out siu_loong_bao all the time.

proper compliance workshop shouldn't leave it intact... sounds a bit dodgy, I hope they do everything properly or it could cause headache down the way, not trying to scare you but sh1t does happen around... but at least half your troubles is gone as it's been rego'ed.

I think those air diffusers are more gimmicks than actually works...

Oh and we can call you Nelly if you want :P

Rianto, are you working on Monday (tomorrow)? Would be good just to compare keys as I am struggling to find even the same key model both on ebay Aust and ebay US....

I work every day, we're in the middle of technical go live with a project

before you buy any blank keys, talk to chris rogers on this forum because changing keys in v35 is not the same or as straight forward as in r32 33 34.

So is anyone up for a small get together and cruise yet?

How about say Saturday 25th of July, have a get together and then cruise somewhere. Just to meet some of the other members and socialise in person for a bit! :)

All V's and M's owners that wish to come!!!

Any interest this time?

Rianto, we can do the meet at your place and say G'day to the bub! Hehe...

Maybe not a cruise then...but definitely a meeting spot with a big carpark (hassle-free parking) would be good...

previously some areas with large public parking would be around albert park, or somewhere near the Como park... but that's more suitable to people who live in southeast areas...

not sure about the west, I'm only here about 1 year... so perhaps somewhere at the far end of sunshine central but depending what day/time it could be very packed though.... or I'm not sure if opposite VUT Footscray there's a big public car park which probably is a bit ample during weekends, although it's a gravel car park so I just hope no mindless idiot in their RWD shitbox gets interested, pops in and doing doughnuts with gravel flying everywhere...

talk about stone chips and cracked windshields...

or what about horse shoe bend park's viewing area? I saw that area a couple of times when I past keilor park drive, seems to be a good viewing spot with ample space...

Yeah, just a meet and no cruise is good!!!

Where are we all at? Are we all over the place?

I'm in Carlton!

Carlton? hm....

how about Garage Cafe?

never been there so dunno how big their inside car park is, although food probably not the best said my friends...

How about Saturday 25th of July at say 2:30pm.

We'll catch up at Garage Cafe, have a coffee and a chat, etc.

Who can make it?

If a few cannot make it, we could always make it another day.

Let us know!!!

    • 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.
