Tonight when i was driving around totally lost in cannington sort of area lol, on my way home from Pot Black, i was driving out of a mcdonalds parking where someone in what i think was a 300ZX had been pulled over by some cops in an SS commodore. I had to give way to a couple of cars, so i was sitting there looking straight at this scene. The cop outside of the car looked at me for awhile and then pointed at me and made some hand motion which i now think was indicating me to pull over. Anyway i didnt realise and just pulled off. A little while later i was stopped at a traffic light and the same cops pulled up next to me. They were checking me out the whole cycle until our light turned green and we got going. About a minute up the road the cop changed lanes and came up behind me. Eventually they turned their lights on and flashed me, so i started pulling over. As we came to a stop on the side of the road, the cops turned their lights off and took off down the road...

I was left there wondering where the hell i was and what the hell just happened lol. Ive decided i dont like cannington lol.

Moral of the story: Dont buy TomTom navigation systems lol

Really? ive used most sat nav's and found the TOMTOM's to be the best ones :) clear with where your going and they dont get lost themselves unlike most others, i always turn off the volume and just read the map though because the voice can sometimes confuse haha

Ive got a TomTom ONEXL and it totally gets lost with itself lol. Starts tripping out and doesnt know where you are, thinks youre driving through a paddock. I was going along a bridge once and it told me to turn right... How about no lol. I never have the volume up, disrupts the music

yeah thats dodgy ay. unless its daylight or in a well populated area i wldnt pull over for it.

supposedly your well within your rights to let them know you have acknoledged their presence and then pull over at the next servo.

Id happily go to court and fight that rather than be hit over the head and my car stolen :)

      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.
