hey all..

we have all read the thread, page 2 of todays sunday mail, or spoken to him about his unfortunate encounter late one night this weekend....

for those who havent read he was followed by a 34, pulled over and got hit with a wrench and had his car taken from him.

the car is insured yes. but hes got to fork out an excess, loose a raiting, mess round with phones, bank cards etc etc... somthing we all do not need to go threw. apart from this some1 wrote his 260 stagea off a few months back. really not having a good run.

ill be short and simple, i want to do a cruise/catch up to raise a little bit of money for him, hes a mate, fellow sau'er thats had a fairly rough few months with cars.

the cruise will meet at Old Reynella St Francis Winery / Shopping Centre carpark next to the little Lake. good spot for pics.... 930 am 30th august, to avoid heaps of traffic.

we will go the back way to victa for a bite to eat at the bakery in pt elliot. great bakery...

the head sth road so we can all just peal off as needed.

there will simply be a bucket or somthing at the meet point, chuck as much or as little as you like in. and we can give it to nigel...

ive spoken to sled and nightcrawler regarding money holding and they said its all good for me to, and to pass it on at the cruise to nigel!!! (u better come! :D)

try and keep this thread clean. its just a good sau deed!

(tangles i need to get the route u took us on!)

adam!

    • 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.
