Sorry I thought you were joking.

No I think he is just using silly terminology. It's an import, that is all. Have you tried Autobarn? Not sure where you are from but if you tell me what country and state you are in we might be able to point you in the right direction. As for parts availability, that's nonsense too. These days there is pretty much nothing you can't get locally for them. There are that many around.

Miserable Day isn't it James?

...UNTIL NOW! WE HOPE!

We have what is called a grey import!

Parts aren't hard to get - we just learn how to SCROUNGE!

your mechanic dosn't have a clue if he thinks its hard to get parts for a 34.

also most auto stores dont list these cars in there catalogs so insted of asking for a pod adapter for a 34 spend a little more time and messure between the bolt holes on the airflow meter and ask for some thing that fits them mesurements.

im from a small country town in nsw i dont bother tryin to get parts here as they seem to be far more expensive than syd (bout 200klm away) and alot of the mechanics and auto stoes in town dont have a clue when it comes to imports

im guessing your in the same boat.. if all else fails try ebay you will find heaps of good importers jap wreckers and parts.

i would try the people in terrys replie above if your any where near sydney if they cant get it for you then no one can.

    • 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?
    • 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.
