Managed to get today off, how good is it. Although I reckon I am busier on my days off than when I am at work. So far I have got the tyres taken off my BBS rims and put them in to get machine polished, picked up my new number plates for the mini, picked up the DBA rotors and race front pads for the R and paid Customs/Shipping and GST. Needless to say I am feeling broke. Has anyone else seen the white GTR for sale on the Moorooka Mile, not sure which yard it is in, only noticed it this morning, didn't bother having a look. Too busy. I am off to somewhere with air-con.

Start rant/

Work sucks arse I am so sick of little stupid plebs with no idea...

Also have the shits with turbo's deciding they don't like 1 bar...despite being rebuilt 10K ago....

Oh and I need to rob a bank to buy air con cause this heat is giving me the shits...

End rant/

its not too hot today.. pretty nice in fact in brissie with a bit of cloud cover. Got all the windows open. But i'm thankful my aircon *does* work very nicely on my car. Comes onto cold in a few seconds, which is good compared to other cars which can take 10mins before the aircon is working to full effect.

my aircon is weird

was shit when we first got, it would be running, but no cold air would come out;

took it to get regassed and was told it was full of gas (didnt need to be regassed)

then winter, didnt use it

now summer and it actually works pretty good, just takes a minute or so to get wound up

wonder what the go there was . .. . .

i do use the recycle mode now, perhaps that makes teh differnece.. . .

Hay guys

    • 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.
