Who do you guy's use?. I need to get the Radical's suspension sorted out pretty quickly.

I was hoping I could get Gary from Selby suspension to do it but I'm running out of time and he's a hard man to get a hold of.

I really don't want a street car guy doing it,,,,I'm after someone that actually knows how to set up a race car that I can sit down and talk to about it.

I'll try to find out for you who my brother went to on the weekend if you like. The guy does the setup for some of the Porsche Cup cars. I think he is at Taren Point

Racetige is owned and opperated by Nick who used to work for Dave at East coast suspension.

He is very good at what he does and has a good turn around time.

East coast are also very good at what they do but very pricey for the same service (yes Ive used both)

Heasmans are good but for what Neil wants they are not the best place to go to I don't think.

Garry is a very hard man to catch now days Neil but I will be seeing him shortly if you dont get in contact.

Do you know how you want the car weighted Neil and what allignment/ geometry your after??

I have a set of scales (proper ones) and bump steer guages if you want to have a go yourself.

Thanks for the feed-back boys,,,much appreciated.

Duncan has been organizing Garry,,,who would be my 1st pick,,,only because I know him and trust him.

Brad if you talk to him could you get him to ring me on .

I'll ring both ECS and Ractige on Monday and see what they say.

Heasman's are not what I would consider a race car orriented shop. I know they wouldn't give me the time to set-up the car that I need.

Brad,,,thanks for the offer but I'm not going to play with something I really only have a limted amount of knowledge about.

Funny I played last year with the rear set-up and made improvements ,,,but I know I'm gonna stuff it up soon.

I have all the factory setup specs of which I would like to have set and then have a talk about what we can do about improving it.

The Radical has a very different front sway bar than any other car which needs someone to sit down and think about.

It uses what Radical call a "Nic" link sway bar system which uses bell cranks and stuff that most scratch there heads about.

I agree with you about heasmans.

Nick has been around open wheelers a fair bit so should be able to steer you in the right direction with the radical. But what he has learn has also come from east coast who are also very good.

Comes down to which place you get the better vibe from I guess.

I should see garry tommorrow or at least talk with him.

      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.
