One thing i am happy to report is that the Tow Rig was awesome! This was the first chance we had to test it out... We were worried the 35s may cause an issue and a few other things but it was faultless, we hooked up the hire trailer which looks like crap but tows amazing, was SO easy to load and unload too being a tilt trailer, basically drove out of the driveway and pulled the car around town to check it out, was really good... Plenty of torque and nice and stable, only time it felt a bit sketchy was hitting standing water on the highway when it was pissing down rain but even then i dropped back to 90 and it was stable az.....

The cruiser wasnt just the tow rig on the track day, i ended up getting stuck with double duties and had to be the recovery vehicle as well... Not ideal when you are trying to enjoy a track day but what can you do, at least the first lap on the track was in a turbo vehicle lol -

Oh and another interesting thing, i had been complaining about traction issues.... The wheel alignment showed i had 2.2 deg neg camber in the rear so we dialled that out and it was MUCH better... You can see the rear wheels standing upright now! Amazing what a difference it made!

Looking good bro!

Why did the cruiser have to double as a recovery vehicle?

Not sure, SMSP didnt want to use the fire truck as a recovery vehicle i guess which is odd as it had the 2 tow straps already fitted too it :/ anyway, no big deal... Just know to plan ahead for the next one so i dont have to do it! In saying that it went out on track twice as the guys were all really well behaved and mostly recovered themselves!

    • 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?
