Hey everyone, I've noticed more and more Skylines rolling around the dirty streets of Kalgoorlie each day. Just wondering how many of them were on the forums. I always get a friendly wave from them as we pass. Some really nice lines here too. I'm the one with the silver ECR33 with the sun-damaged-to-shit bonnet.

Yeah that's the him, seems like a nice bloke. He lives in the same unit complex as my girlfriends grandparents. I've spent quite alot of time staring in awe at that Supra lol. I remember them telling me that he had a new Skyline at some point. Maybe his dad was up for a weekend or something.

Yup that's him. Previous car was a 33 Sedan which I think he still hasn't sold. he's on the sau forums.

Also an olddd family friend had a bombed Rex. But he's moved up to Perth as of about a year ago. His name's Simon. and the civic there is Elijahs.

Nope, Mine is the wingless white coupe with gtr rims on it.

I have seen a white one with blue racing stripes in a car yard tho, Can't say i liked it.

This is my baby.

Very nice! Yeah I'm not a fan of racing stripes, thought it was a bit over the top. I must say though it goes alright and sounds hot. Some bloke bought it the other week from that yard. They usually have a Skyline or two for sale at any given time.

yeah that's where i got mine from, Could have got one a bit cheaper but it was already in kal so it was easy.

I think i'll put a kit on it soon and maybe a GTR wing.

I remember when there used to be heaps of Skylines out in Kal - they were well known for meeting up on a Thursday night outside of the old Snap Printing place (now where ABC offices are), and between them and the squillion Holdens and the odd Fords do bog laps up and down the main drag all night. Usually followed thereafter by a pursuit car with flashing lights... LOL :(

Back then there would have been a good 15 - 20 regular skylines around town, heck we even had our own section of SilviaWA in Kal back then as we had about a dozen or more silvias as well. Unfortunately most of the Jap cars either got written off in bad accidents, or left for the big smoke. The police focus used to shift between Jap cars and Aussie cars depening on who was misbehaving the most. I know when I left about 18mths ago there was a new resurgence of nissans in town which was great ... took the focus off mine for a bit and was so good to see.

Sadly we lost one of the best known and loved skyline drivers from out there - many would remember Jason who owned BTLFEDR33 ... awesome car and driver, sadly killed in horrific car accident in the Skyline a short time ago in Victoria. He is sadly missed.

But you may see me from time to time out there for car shows and meeting up with old mates - will either be in the 15 or the 34. I'll try and wave at everyone if I see you!! :blush:

Same thing happened to a friend of mine working out here at Blackswan with me. Not to mention our entire underground operation. God damn Nickel price.

I thought they shut down Black Swan anyway, Because it was getting too deep or something.

We might have to go for a cruise sometime.

      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.
