Hey guys, finally got my car running tonight.. after 7 months off the road it feels so good to be back behind the wheel :D anyway most of the engine stuff has gone pretty well... everything seems normal as far as i can tell so far.. im having trouble with the power steering pump, it doesnt seem to want to suck up any of the power steering fluid from the reservoir, all the fluid was completely drained when it was all apart and the pump is new from a 2nd hand gtr.. ill give it another go tomorrow and do a bit of forum searching.. the main problem im having is i had to lower the k frame about 15 mm to clear the dump pipe, which has thrown my steering geometry out.. would a wheel alignment possible fix this? when i get the car running properly i do plan to take it to get the dump pipe modified so the k frame can be moved back to its original height.

Cheers for any info

got the power steering pump working.. it just wasnt wanting to drain the resorvoir into the pump, a good 30 mins of turning the steering wheel backwards and forth while the car was off fixed it, sorted out the wobble as well =]

      r34's love to squeal

      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.
