i had the same problem, ive got a R33 GTR and i bought a 50" plasma from Harvey Norman, didnt want to wait to get it delivered as my old tv had crapped itself, so i de boxed it managed to squeeze it into the rear seats and with a great struggle got my 6ft frame into fully frontal adjusted drivers seat for the 15km drive home...WIN for team GTR lol, i ended up buying a cheap hatch (Starlet GT because i couldnt live with out turbo) so i could put the rear seats down and use it transport rims and the like around.

What do you mean not practical? I cannot find a reason ever NOT to need 350rwkw of RB26 fun. My brakes are ridiculously noisy (DS3000's), my tyres are noisy (semi's), 7.5lts of oil takes 10-15mins t

Having the pleasure of driving such a car is all I need in the morning to put me in a good mood, the full boost onto the freeway blasting past $400,00 sports cars that have a crack only to see my smil

Changed the battery in the GTR yesterday. Cheeze how many bolts to get the damn thing out!

The plastic trim lugs then the trim......

12 to remove the metal plate

Then lossen the sway bar to get enough give for the battery to fit through

Then 4 nuts for the battery itself

Man it is like unwrapping a presnt then wrapping it up again.

Luckly it is only done once every 2 to 3 years.

But then you look at at it turn the key and go F...... YEAH!

      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?
