OK Boys I have a problem,

I tried putting a Dick Smith capacitator on the alternator but it didn't work!

Chances are that it is an amp. Skylines rarely have problems with this, also some amps will only whine on high frequencys 1st stop should be Jaycar if it's a new amp and try another. if they wont help then make them. make sure that your Rca leads are good quality and dont run too closely to electronics such as the ECU.

OK thats a start - I run OK RCA's but nothing flash. The amp is a Jaycar Response 4ch (New). The leads run from HU left and along the passenger side of the car into the boot where the amp is on a nice shelf next to the battery which I spent ages making. The AMP is earthed to the same -'ve terminal as the battery ie that piece of metal with two nuts attaching it to the chassis. The +'ve lead rund from the battery no longer than 1ft to the amp. All power cables are as thick as my little finger (about 1cm ish).

Suggestions?

Undo your kick and scuff panels and pull the rca's away from the computer and the main wiring harness and have a listen, if it's still the same go see jay car and ask them if you can try another amp.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
