I like this thread!

My first car was a '97 single cab hilux. Had a gearbox that was looser than a prositute with 400xxx km (and still didn't die) that i drove around the property and started with it on my L's but it was terribly embarassing driving it to school so my 2nd car..

My 2nd car was a slightly newer, 2 door Suzuki Vitara that was given to me when i got my red P's. Had 300xxx km and was an absolute pile of shit. Nothing ever worked in it, i usually feared for my life in daily. It would regularly stall for no aparent reason.

My 3rd car was a 93 (i think) VR commodore, odometer stopped working at 247xxx km. Had major problems with it, bought it off a family friend for $500 that claimed it had a "reconditioned engine"- I put a fully sick $1000 fusion sound system in it back when i was about half way through my red's thinking i was awesome. Now that i think about it, f*ck i was a cool commy driver... no it didn't have any UNIT or LOOSEKID stickers on it. But there was a FUSION sticker on it..

Bought my '03 V35 350GT coupe 6 months ago from Brisbane with 78,000km on the clock. Was completely stock, had a compression rod bush worn but that's all i could fault it with. Car now has 89,000km on it going strong. Love it, best buying decision i've ever made (obviously)

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
