DON't go to TTF Dandy..... I can guarantee at the very least they'll snap your wheel studs off... (Nissan wheel studs snap easily, especially with a heavy-handed rattle gun that they will use no matter what you tell them). They are shocking - scratching rims, not knowing how to balance tyres.

My mate bought rims & tyres from them unknowingly, ended up with around 85 grams worth of weights just on one corner... Still wasn't right, took it somewhere else and that tyre ended up with a single 10g weight on it to make it perfect.....

yeah dun go ttf

im stupid and went there to change my rear tyres

after they fitted it the rear right wheel was making a clicking sound when i was cornering hard

had to take it back to them

and i was also stupid enough to go to them for wheel alignment

biggest waste of 65 bucks ever

i told them to check and fix the camber on the rear wheels

they didnt even align the rear wheels, they told me they cant do it cos its 4ws after the alignment

and they didnt even do a good job, the alignment is prolli worser now, my steering wheel i in worse position than before

man and they dun have guarantee on their alignments

gay!

never going there to get anything put on

ill jus buy their tyres and take it somewhere else to put on

and yeah inasnt the beaurepaires there near ttf

are they good? will they fix my camber?

you will be surprised of how many doggy tire places there are out their......When I had my old car I had just finsihed getting 4 new wheels with balance as well. The very next morning I was due to get Gas put in my car. The guy that was fitting the gas needed to take my rear tire off to put a gas pipe in and he couldnt get the nuts loose....Fu...ing air guns the tire place used isnt quite user friendly.

If you look at them from their point of view, the air guns they use make life alot easier for them. Now every time I get new wheels or a balance, I dont get in done unless I am allowed to be in the workshop watching....

(health and safety my ass) I keep a safe distance so I can see whats realy going on.

(Goodyear tire and Auto Service) Is where I got mine done last, Are they still around???

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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?

      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.
