Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hey Troy. Welcome. My missus just works behind you at the child care centre and owns a marine blue 33 4 door. I have a white 32 4 door. I know the owner of the servo for years and years. Top bloke. One night boys I will organise a meet, just been very sick lately and haven't had much time of a night to hang around. Hang in there as it will happen I promise.

spotted Brad in the 32 4 door heading up Buchananans Rd. just now. nice clean looking car :thumbsup:

finally got the new engine in the little ladies Beetle. once its run in and tweaked properly I'll have the liner back in my hands more permanently.

Wednesday at the BP's sounds good this week. but i think we should give somewhere around northlakes a go maybe?? should be parking and some eats there somewhere. gonna look into a good spot some time soon...when i get a moment to think in between doing stuff.

clean is the under statement of the century... :D

its (ummmmm cant find the words) super duper clean...

Ultra shiny?

I have badly damaged my back so someone is going to have to drive me on wendsday night. (I can barely limp atm)

for sure.

ive done many a large amount of Body work in my time, but the older brother is normally the one swinging the spray gun when we paint cars......but hes in Wagga atm doing his military thing...soo chances are that wont happen for a while anyways.

What were you in???? I have morning face on and everything is a blur. Some mornings I don't know how I got to work lol. So if you had waved I apologise man. I have seen a black 32 coupe along the same road every morning. Very clean as well.

LOL Col. I'm a clean freak YES. Bit pissed off with the rain this week. Made the car look rather shitty. Spent close to 3 hours cleaning it this morning.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
