This keeps my 100% record intact - out of all 7 cars I've owned. I've had 7 alternator problems :)

I can has a spare alternator if you need...

P.S. - Martin & Dan: Is Saturday or Sunday better for you guys?

Not sure yet. Find out what works for Dan and I'll try to work around it.

Also - I need to know what to buy so we have everything there. I'll do a Jay Car or Tandy run once the car is registered and get any switches/wire/fuses that we'll need.

Kill switch

-Black wire

-Switch

Drift switch (I think, still need to research how to actually acheive this)

-Black wire

-Switch

Alarm

-Probably nothing, if its BNIB, it will come with wire etc

Head unit

-Probably nothing, if its BNIB, it will come with wire etc

Amp

-suitable amp wiring kit

Speakers

-You may need speaker wire, if the car still has stock speakers, and you are not replacing them, and they have not already been re-wired without a common ground. 32s may not use a common ground anyway, but 31s do. I wouldn't buy any: if we need some we'll go for a run

General

-Solder

-Heatshrink (size - maybe 3mm? a little bit thicker that the wire you buy)

-Rum/Beer

-JB

-Air Con

...Theres probably stuff I've forgotten, wait for dan to chip in

Air con is a must, I have an airconed garage....I have been loving it of late, having the door closed can lead to poor lighting though :)

and your assumptions about the drift switch are right, thats all i used in the GTR

I can has a spare alternator if you need...

Thanks for the offer but it seems like they want to use the one that's in there because it's a good one. It's just putting out too much power when the car is revved, so it needs to be fixed up somehow, but apart from that is good.

Not sure yet. Find out what works for Dan and I'll try to work around it.

No worries

Kill switch

-Black wire

-Switch

switch and or button?

Drift switch (I think, still need to research how to actually acheive this)

-Black wire

-Switch

just an on/off toggle thingy? or a special kinda switch?

Alarm

-Probably nothing, if its BNIB, it will come with wire etc

Alarm is sorted - one less hassle :)

Head unit

-Probably nothing, if its BNIB, it will come with wire etc

It has plugs and stuff... I tried to work it out but there's too many damn cables. Doesn't look like the Nissan plug connects up either... So I'm guessing cut and solder?

Amp

-suitable amp wiring kit

At least that's nice and easy :)

Speakers

-You may need speaker wire, if the car still has stock speakers, and you are not replacing them, and they have not already been re-wired without a common ground. 32s may not use a common ground anyway, but 31s do. I wouldn't buy any: if we need some we'll go for a run

The ones that are in there are blown - from the alternator. I've got some 6 inch pioneer splits with tweeters (and crossovers). We should be able to get them into the front doors fine. I'm going to pick up some 6x9s or 7x10s for the rear once I've got some wheels under me.

General

-Solder

-Heatshrink (size - maybe 3mm? a little bit thicker that the wire you buy)

-Rum/Beer

-JB

-Air Con

Currently have no access to JB and not sure if 32 AC works until the alternator problem is rectified. Will these things be an issue?

...Theres probably stuff I've forgotten, wait for dan to chip in

*waits*

I want a switch to kill the rear number plate light!

Just noticed that 34GTT (57NGR) that I saw last weekend when I'm on my way back from the coast has that (I saw his plates before we went on M1 and just when we're having a bit of fun, its off!)

Hahaha... of course I know you'll get slammed and its not legal. But hey I love to have one but in reality, will I get one? No. :)

I'm all legal! Just look at my 4WD boat.

Yeah, I'm only there for brief moments.

Usually if I have a car to drop off for tuning or if Whitey needs help looking at his 19yo sex kitten photos

Oi you love looking at them dan don't lie.

whitey

FAIL @ SPACERS john, hows the 32 coming?

PURE RIM MOTHER f**kERS 17x9.5+15 all round, started rolling the lip in at the rear, getting close to legal :)

Gah, NizzPro is lame >.< I ask them about a ECU/TUNE & they took my cars details down (What is has other then standard) said they would give me a call back in halfa, and they haven't called me back, its now been a week! ... Like wtf kents!

Meh, I will just go else where, tools!

lol - that is all

You kinda need a fast car to back it up though. It's one thing to be able to turn off the light but it's another to have the red highway car up your arse going "What's this idiot doing? He can't outrun us"

Oi you love looking at them dan don't lie.

whitey

I never said I didn't but you're an arse if she doesn't attend the dyno day.

Especially as I've seen her practically naked.

Tee hee hee. I've got one that does that.

But it kills the tail lights too

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
