And Roy, you werent seriously paying out Doughboy were you? I thought you were having a sarcastic go at nicknick.

Depends...if he lets me overtake him at track days, just to preserve my fragile ego then all is good. :) ...or even better buddies up with me for the Dutton Rally, his combi can be the spares van :(

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. What a laugh. When will these dreamers learn to actually pull a decent time before blowing their bags. Thats the only problem with these forums - too many dreamers. Did this "10 sec GTR" run at WSID???? probably not.

Yep. It is. And it has run a nine. And it will again soon. Even if it never ran again, I still pulled the time.

Fact is, this dickdick guy has insulted people I know.He should pull his head in & run a decent time before dreaming on & sticking it up other Skyline owners that are nothing but helpfull & decent people.

As for my car - it has been off the road for a while(have been playing with other cars) but will be up & running soon with a totally new setup.

What will it run? I'll wait & find out before posting on here wont I!!!

True. On another note. Alice would be wiked. Not far from no speed limits - I wish.

Just lost my licence for the 15th time!!!!! That is not a typo!!!

Got to the point where I am learning for my pilots licence. At least up there there is no speed limit. Biggest problem is I cant work out how to fit the wings on my GTR yet.

well, I force myself to run thru the no speed limit zone on the 50k trip to work each day....of course its not as fun as it could be with the speed limiter still in :D Also, not a corner to be found for miles out there

but, its not *really* that hard to stick to the speed limit is it? You need to get out on the circuit more.....I'd lost my license 3 times before 20 (pretty poor effort), but now I just get it out of my system on the track instead.

Hi Munro, get that pilot's licence, fly to New Zealand and get a driver's licence there. Works for a few guys. But you are so well known, Adelaide ain't that big and your cars are easily spotted, so it probably wouldn't work for you.

On another subject, that other turbo car of yours, it has a water to air intercooler doesn't it? If it has, how do you find it works in the summer heat?

It's legal to drive here with alot of international licenses. There was a scam a few years ago where people were getting their international license (a generic one issued from NRMA and other "motoring" groups) without having a "real" license first. I'm pretty sure you can still do that.....

Hi Steve, at last count, about 1 million visitors to Australia each year drive legally without an Australian license. I have no idea how many do it illegally.

Hi Chris, I don't think they have international licenses anymore, you just use your own country's licence, that's what I do when I go overseas now.

If you have an NZ licence, you just have to remember the formulas....

I = U (as in fush and chups)

A = AR (as in larmb chops)

Sheep = Gurlfriend

All Blacks = Gods

Once you have that mastered, you can pass yourself off easily.

When i went OS, i was told that an OZ licence is all thats required to hire cars from OS outlets, so was good enough for me

... that said to drive in Indonesia you have to be OVER .05 otherwise its just not fun, and its far too easy for the locals to psyche you out with their driving, a bit of dutch courage and you can mix it with the best drivers that Indonesia has to offer. :P

I sure as hell hope that NSW RTA doesnt recognise an Indo licence as an quivelant, or French for that matter, they are nutz behind the wheel as well :flamed:

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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!
