Found to be dead alternator as te battery is not charging judt discharging whilst running!!!

Spewing as i cant make it out in the GTR.

Definately up for the next cruise tho so speeing about this missed opportunity.

Dead alternator???

NO worries, read on....

Option 1;

travel with a buddy, and use his car to charge the batteries alterativley, swapping them when getting low.

Option 2;

carry about 4 fully charged batteries with you and swap them out accordingly.

Now, be sure to have the stereo off, limit use of wipers, lights(incl blinkers and brakes), not use power windows, etc...

Most batteries have a reserve capacity of approx 1hr, with lights and wipers on, so if you limit use of electrics, and have a couple on standby, shouldnt be a problem. :D

See you tomorrow ;)

G'morning All! See you at the start. All 11 Organisers will have badges. Lots of Execs will have SAU shirts. Ask any of us for help. ;)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
