Hehe.. it sounds like it's going to be a skyrice australia meeting at Gavin's next week.

My cars down their the whole week (because I can't do down during the week and my b/f can't get time off) so Sinbad (car) is having a sleep over at Aunty Manda's and Uncle Gavins :uh-huh:

well, i got my last service at the new nissan service depot at wooloongabba and i couldnt be happier with it

they were cheap, went way above and beyond (they greased every lock and hinge in the car, i aint never seen that done before)

did an awesome (4) wheel alignment and was still cheap as (as well as they let me know a few things i need to do next time (leaky gasket, missing bonnet rubber))

maybe they cant do all the hitech stuff gavin woods can, but screw driving all the way down the coast every 5000k

ill be back there for my next service for sure (props to woman for finding them)

yeah i was wondering why you added the last comment ;P

dont read qgl much anymore, mainly because its full of shit now and the flamewars dont exist anymore. The funs gone and the nazis reign.

I was going to ring today but rang outta time being sick. But I have to find someone taht can fix the air cond fan in the dash to work again it died and if I get this fmic shortly I would like someone to put it in, as I'm short of time. Mainly just want the odds and ends fixed and the car tuned up and service. I was planning on doing it at the same time,a nd getting it dyno'd and running smooth, just wondering if gavin would be able to do all this, or would I have too take my car to like 10 different car shops?

yeah i read your dash read me, its pretty easy to take apart, but the thing is I dont ahve much time these days. tadoy I wasnt felling 100% so I went out and got some cash and hunted around to see where i could get teh air cond fan checked and working. The turbo timer is just I have weird the wires to the wrong one, optput 2 is on the igition and not the other wire. fix weekend.

intercooler and piping shouldnt be too hard just need grinder, drill and a coping saw/jigsaw. but first have to see what piping i get with the kit. the bar and lights are easy to take off, but its a pirck to get the bar back on.

I restored a hj ute from 3 write offs,a nd painted it, so I do know a bit about handy work. Learnt most of it as a kid at dads work. Just atm Its cheaper for me to get someone else to do it while I earn the dosh, and if its all put together and serviced then tuned and dyno'd I get a car thats got the works done in one go. None of this every weekend drop off and check crap or get it serviced then next week tuned.

Time is the main issue I have, its a problem to get stuff done when 14 hrs of the day your at work, and 12 on the weekends. just been lucky lately to be able to have sundays off beacuse the dollar is up and not much coming tinto australia atm.

yup, time is money.. i wasn't really implying you were lazy ;) just that its not too hard to do if you want to put in the time. The dash took me about 2 days work so i can see why you'd want to do get somebody else to do it if you didn't have the time!

i took the dash out and tried to get the air cond fan working onthe weekend, and i put the turbo timer in, but connected a wrong wire at the key harness, so I ahve to fix that this weekend, just have the timer off till then. the steering wheel was the hardest to realign, took about 20 minutes to get the wheel on perfect. gotta get a plastic horn bit as the one in mine was broken and need a horn.

went to all jap at virgina, $20 for the plastic bit wher ethe door opener is. and thats second hand. just the plastic not the lever. nad its worn a bit.

    • 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?
