series one or series two loom?

pm me if your close i can come round give you an insight.

haha thanks guys its been fun up untill this part, im so close to finishing it just the place i live no sparky will touch it. pritty gay cant be that hard its been done before.

where are you located? i think there is someone in gympie doing this but into a vs ute (if i remember correctly). i think he has been speaking to my mate who is a mechanic about doing the wiring.

and love the 33 front bar on the commodore. boy will that piss off some nissan fansboys.

yer man i have made up brackets since the cable ties haha as i said thos photos are the early stages, but still cable ties are consider road worthlyable in these parts lol

mounting the engine isn't that hard as with the older cars you could just use a a vl crossmember, etc. wiring on the other hand....

also with a vu ute you may have issues with legality of putting in the rb25 as i'm not sure how it goes as far as putting an older motor into a newer car. i'm pretty sure that the motor has to meet all emissions standards of when the car was made. so it's easy to put a new motor into an old car, but not the other way round.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
