Have you thought about recording the conversation with them? Not sure bout the legality of doing this but I reckon it might just make em listen as well. Just go back and say you wanna have a final shot at settling things, keep a recorder in your pocket (I know a lot of people that do this when gettin pulled ova by cops) and ofcourse keep calm and let him dig his own hole.

When thats all done, let him know that ACA may have a special interest in your recording. Meanwhile, I hope that MVIRA is able to help ya out.

Good Luck

Nah, I have to say... Dempo's car is my favourite falcon 'cause everything (so far) has been done properly and with a lot of time and consideration...

Only problem is if he keeps on going i'll HAVE to juice up the line to keep infront of him... :)

Not all bad when you think about it though... :)

Ok guys,

I need to have the car diagnosed and a quote to fix... where should I go? (mechanics)...

I live in Hornsby so it has to be close to home, has to operate on weekends too...

Also, while im at it... any good air-con places?... same as above...

Ok guys... thought i'd keep updating this (cause i said i would)...

Am having different tyres put on the car by the dealer because the ones on it don't match the placard... took a lil arguing but it's being done so no major dramas there...

I'll be sending in forms to DOFT and MVRIA soon so i'll be eagerly waiting a response and will keep you posted...

Yeah, i know eh man... I wasn't having a go at you either... just trying to say something without saying it if you know what i mean.... (:))

And yeah, I've found the guy who runs the place is EXTREMELY bodgy.... he's failed to meet his OWN WRITTEN CONTRACT on a number of instances so it's off the DOFT and MVRIA i go.... :(

Thanks heaps man,

Dave.

      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.
