I'm gonna do some really early runs then chill till the eliminations

It'll be you & me, & damn near EVERYONE else following the same plan mate.

F@$&!#G weather :P It just had to pick the one day a yr that the Nats are on to hit mid 40's!

Yeah it sucks but what can you do?!

This arvo my car started doing something unusual - I had my exhaust fixed this morning cos I bent it a bit on a kerb (long story) and now it seems to get a real shudder around 4,500rpm in almost every gear .... either that or my flywheel is slipping (is that even possible?) .... either way I don't like it. Will see how it goes tomorrow. Other than that the power is excellent currently so I am fairly happy.

I just put 4 litres of tolulene in my tank with 20 litres of fuel .... that'll hopefully prevent any pinging in the hot weather :P

Looking at tonights BOM update there's a tiny chance things will cool down a tad later in the evening...... It does give a Min on Sat & Sun of low/mid 20's though.

Saturday : Very hot with freshening northeast to northwest winds, ahead of a

*moderate to fresh west to southwest wind change during the afternoon. Becoming

milder in the evening*. A possible thundery shower about the northern ranges with

the change.

Yep. Too many 180Bs, magnas & crappy chookcookers.

We should just have our own one next year - still meet with the big group,

but then go else where so we dont get stuck behind 16 y/olds in mummys magna.

SAPOL & Regency pressure has certainly pushed a number of the "nicer/serious" cars into hiding. I for one will not go near a major cruise these days! It really is sad :) What ever happened to police discretion? We can thank the idiots who act before they nail the throttle/do burnouts & so on for the extreme scrutiny. I'm not saying don't have a bit of fun on the road but think before you act!

Rant over.

Thanks John :)

Like I said in one of the other threads, I'm happy considering the heat, running with a boost leak (could feel the car down on power on the 12.8) & over 12mths since I'd last hit the strip. I feel a bit bummed at not getting the full potential out of the car, but there's always next time.

yeah i was stuck behind a couple geminis and a pulsar everywhere, that made the cruise even worse

also a few people put there foot down (a bit)as they were leaving the carpark, and the cop was taking down there rego's

Hey all Was unable to get to the Nationals it was just one thing after another and in the heat travelling from the sticks was to much. Was the cruise like last years ? I heard it was a rotor nationals. GTR's was there any at all ? and Munro what happened? So many questions

Lets make the dates for the Nationals in Autum, with a pre arranged weather of around 23c and small breez. Plenty of half naked women serving the drivers with drinks and food, Great music and some interstate door slamers and top fuelers to spice it up that little more.

Anyway it was just an idea.

    • 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?
    • 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.
