G'day,

I'm not new to the forum, been a member for over 12 months, but not really active.

I thought it was about time that I said G'day.

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR 1994, had it about 12 months and haven't done too much as yet.

The forum has been a real source of info on all things Skyline, and extremely interesting.

I live on the NSW Central Coast, please don't hold that against me, it truly is God's country.

I've had a few cars over my years (being an older member) WRX, Integra Type S, Golf GTI *2 and can honestly say that I've been blown away (pardon the pun) by the Skyline.

Cheers,

Steve

Hey there,

Good to hear you like the skyline the best, So you went from a golf GTI to a GTR?

Why sell the WRX to get a GTI?

Sorry,

Not in the said order.

I had a Mk 1 GTI in 1982 and a 5 door Mk 2 in 1986.

I had my WRX in 1999 (MY2000) . ( I had a family in between, and a series of more appropriate cars)

Having said that the Mk1 GTI was more fun than the WRX. Although the WRX was quicker, the GTI was a more responsive car, no turbo to deal with, and with only 112 bhp!!

The Skyline is in a different class, I should be comparing it with Porsche or Ferrari, just never been able to afford that type of car.

I (my wife) has an Integra Type S, that's a bit of fun on country roads. She just loves to rev, the car that is!!

Cheers,

    • 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.
