Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

Cheryl got her 1st shake down today and apart from a small issue with rear ride height,,,she did herself very proud. Turn in was beautiful,,,brakes were sensational and Duncan and I had a bloody ball. His old racecar Federal FZ201 were fantastic.

Cheers

+1, first day out and almost no issues, I was stoked...excellent planning and work Neil.

It did probably 10x 15min sessions, and no issues other than a tyre rubbing which we can sort out. Pretty hot in the afternoon too.

the car handled very nicely, the front end grip was totally different to my gtr and a real pleasure. On the other hand you keep waiting for the power to arrive and it never does :P damn you nissan with your 7 pound of boost and little factory turbos

I reckon Neil will get bored with 150rwkw pretty quickly....maybe he already has? Even so I would guess lap times 1.15 to 1.12ish. No timer on board but there were videos so I guess he could work it out from that.

For a very first shakedown run this thing was great straight "out of the box" and ran well all day with no mechanical issues.

It looks like Clinton and I have been enlisted to find Neil a nice set of rims with a good offset and at the right price to complete the package.

Congatulations Neil (with help from Duncan and others) for doing the R33 brigade proud.

Thanks Brad for sorting out my suspension geometry,,,your a champion. None of this will end soon though,,,I still have lots of weight loss and even some gains.

Cheryl was just put back together before the end of 2011 so she could get log-booked.

Cheers

Thought I would do a little up-date from last weekend,,,lots more stuff was done but it was me doing boring shit.

I never ever wanted to put a monster tacho and shift light into the car so delete the tacho and just use this

Bit of head scratching on how to wire it up but works a bloody treat.

Here's some of the pics I took for logbooking and also did a little boost control setting up whilst we were out. Mr Highway patrolman didn't even blink an eye at us,,,thanks mate.

Saturday coming?

Not a problem at all.

No I'm to busy building everyone elses cars to do anything about my own.

Latter in the year I'll have a look at running in one of the national Categories with a car I've got in mind.

Thanks for the loan of the hoist mate,,,you are a champion.

I got into a little trouble with Duncan over my wheel nut assortments so I thought it about time I actually got some new ones,,,no crappy alloy shit in this household,,, good old steel puppies.

I might still be in trouble though because these nuts use a 17mm socket and well bad bloody luck Handles.

Cheers

It is good to see that you have finally got some nice nuts Neil!

Yeah we recently converted all of our cars over to 17 mm nuts (although I had to go for the alloy option to match the rim colour) which resulted in additional sockets to carry in the cars to get them off if you have a flat.

      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?
