lol nah, hoping to start it Friday and do some basic tuning in the industrial area with only a dump/front pipe :whistling:

Then it's going on the trailer Sunday morning to take it to another mates house to get the exhaust welded up :thumbsup:

And yeah, ASR sump is the goods, I got mine through Justjap.

That will be very abnoctious with just a front pipe, my 25 with stock turbo was very very load when I took it for a quick blast around duncraig with no exhaust, sick but

Yeah that's why I will trailer it to Padbury to get the exhaust finished :P

The problem is, I can't get it on the trailer with the catback attached and I don't want to wait till Sunday night before I start tuning her. It's all moot anyway unless I can get a throttle cable soon!

PM sent :)

Getting a new cable made up tomorrow, radiator top hose is sorted (butchered a spare bottom hose :laugh:), gotta get a bung for where the old thermoswitch went in the radiator (dunno where mine went :blink:). Need to make a bracket to hold the throttle cable and fix my oil pressure sender wiring.. need someone with small hands! I've already lost two nuts into the depths of the cross member :(

I had a spare hose here, i would have chucked it on the rad if i had known you'd need it. Who make the accelerator cables up? All the final small niggly bits always holds everything up

Nah I got a gtst and gtr top hose and neither fit due to the header tank thing, hacked up a spare bottom hose and it fit pretty nicely, will take pics of completed engine bay tomorrow :D

Flexible Drives are doing the cable.

i have long arms with small-ish hands.

And long fingers :whistling:

If I haven't managed to sort it by the time you knock off, wanna drop in on your way home and lend a hand?:laugh:

First day that i use the train and you want me to come round?

FYI My R32 is still at the dealer, didnt fixt the leak. Even more new parts on it now. May end up with an almost new car by the end.

    • 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?
