Oh and as some may have noticed, the bonnet is freshly painted but does not yet have the lip back on as i havent had the time.......

I replaced the front pads and rotors and flushed the brake fluid prior to SAU Nats but ran out of time to do the braided lines and paint the callipers so ill tackle that later -

I was still undecided about the big brake kit so i upgraded the fronts and DAMN they work well when hot! They are A1RM pads with the DBA4000 rotors

While i was in Sydney i got Federal RSR's all round fitted and balanced, the guys at Tyres For Less were super helpful but i noticed a knock into there driveway and it turns out i had broken a traction rod with 1 too many skids, they are a crap design (D-Project or Project-D cant remember) they rely on 4 welds..... So i limped over too Just Jap and grabbed another arm to keep me going......

Once the tyres and arm were all sorted i got Wheel Align specs from Adz which were simple AWESOME, car has never handled so well, it tracks dead straight and is like its on rails

Oh and while i am on the topic is suspension arms, my ISC arms were stuffed and seized, i got them second hand and they were garbage so i fit a new offset V2 style castor arm from GKTECH

Somehow i randomly found gear oil in my chassis rail LOL, i have NFI how or why its in there but i just degreased the hell out of it and no prob since, was really odd!

So i figured i was prepped for nats, loaded with E85, brakes and tyres good to go and was super keen

But the car REALLY didnt want to go..... Had HKS errors and E sensor errors on the way to pick up Carmen from the airport, it was the start of a long day....

Does it go?

Yeah i drove it to JEM after the event and they said i am not having it back until i do what i was told in the first place and do the fuel system properly, i shouldnt have been a tight ass and i wouldnt have had these dramas lol :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

For those that didnt see it, i couldnt get more than half a lap with any sort of power so i was just obnoxious on the outlap for lolz :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

Yeah itll get a workout! I love it! Snap On/Blue Point quality is always top notch!

I got other prezzies like Snap On tool bag and lots of booze but the Jack seemed relevant to a build thread :D

Next one is at 1:30, gotta pass the time somehow! :P

Grats on the trophy!

Good luck mate! Sounds like your all over it!

Haha thanks! I laughed when Ash called my name!

so how good are the RSR's? do they hold any sort of traction?

They are good mate, gotta get them hot but 3rd grips up nicely...... The video shows them dead cold so of course it was just skids.......

    • 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?
