Zoix, all your problems would be fairly straight forward fixes. You should give them a go your self first.

Only thing they probably wouldnt do is the speedo.... as it could be a million different things.

Fuel sender problems and window motors have been covered on here and SDU a number of times tho.

well atm i have been working 7 days a week, because all this shit coming in to australia for x-mas and we been exporting commodores to nz from here, also all the riveria bost to usa(****ing 1.2 million speed boats)

its been flat out and i have had a look, but really get do anything beacuse i also havent got a license. so its hard to get to that place in capalba to get parts(its like 2kms from my house).

so yeah rather pay someone to fix it then get home after a 18 hr shift have to be at work after 10 hr break and get hom to fix my car :(

I do believe SDU is Skylines down under.

Gavin was really nice when after all these props on here I took my car to him just for a service. Really impressed with his ability to tell you to go home and do it yourself. other guys would do it so more dollars go in their pockets.

and he was saying something about a nissan machine he has so it can read all the error codes that can come up in the car computer or something like that. anyone know more?

It's a Consult Machine.

Gavin is the only other person I know of, beside Nissan Australia that are LEGALLY allowed to have these machines. They are worth emormous amounts of money and they do their job perfectly. If something with your car isn't running right, he will hook this machine up to see whats going on.

My car is data streamed everytime I go down there.

Well, I have heard many good thing about Gavin Woods, from here and other random locations. His name always seems to crop up in a positive light. I hope this is all true as I shall drop my car in there tomorrow (hopefully) as it has shat the crank case seal big time and is spraying oil everywhere. They seemed good to talk to on the phone so he is off to a good start!!

Wow, $100-150 isnt too bad, I know my dads commo normally is about that, and thats taking it to a pretty good mechanic up in brisbane (just normal cars tho) I think it will be worth taking my 1/2 skyline down to see him then :D

He's built many skylines for Skyline Import at Loganlea. The guys names Ernie. Gavin has buit him many cars actually. Including a GTS-t with all GTR parts (IIRC) including all guards and stuff. Also a stagea. And every other car that Ernie has built for Zoom magazine, Gavin has done.

    • 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?
