Hey mate, nice progress with the build. Quick off topic question about the rpf1's, did you have to do any body work to get them to fit? Rolling lip etc?

Hey mate, cheers.

No, none at all I might have to when the coilovers go in but we'll see. I am only running standard suspension with lower springs at the moment.

My coilovers are yet to be installed still.... even tho I haven't driven it often... when I do just makes me love it so much more!

hooooooooottttt

are your guards rolled?

Cheers mate, and not to my knowledge... I didn't roll them but when I first got the car I had Advan Model T5s on the car... so they might have rolled it before landing to Aus but yeah... not 100% sure... there are no tell tale signs of it.

nice stance......series 3 xenons on your wish list ? hehe

Hahaha they would only be a wish... I can't justify the money for them... ridiculous... lol.

I am leaning more towards track specing the GTR soon...

Looking good man. Headlights are looking a bit hazy but.

Get this stuff from Autobarn or wherever. Has worked an absolute treat on 3 33s

Yeah I have tried it... I think they are beyond saving... or at least within my ability haha

reallllly need to get in there with the sandpaper hard out. Post some up close hi def pics of the headlights if you want. Maybe they are doable or maybe they have other shit goin on.

Should take about half an hour each light.

Yeah my mates who do my detailing did it last time.. I think its a process I have to repeat a couple of times... I'm gonna get a paint correction in a couple of months most likely after I come back from the states because I got offered a shoot with the car. so we'll see how i go hahaha.

Coilovers are now in... Pays to have a AMG Mercedes Mechanic as a cousin who will help out his older cous haha.

Just have to tweak the dampening, add a couple sway bars and roll my guards before I go lower. The arse end just wants to hop, also found out why the standard suspension was so rough... the front two standard coilovers were STUFFED...

Finally got my guards rolled after a long stuff around with 3 of the mobile companies that do them....

I got them rolled by Mobile Guard Rolling, good work, nice bloke and he made the time to come to me to do it...

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mobile-Guard-Rolling/294487220606537?ref=ts&fref=ts

Cost me $150 for 2 rears where I was previously quoted $200.

Now I am hoping I can book my GTR in at Accurate Suspension to get it set up by Ken and then it's off to a Panel beater mate of a mate to get a paint correction.

then it's SHOOT TIME... with Mr Ben Birch and Mile High Films.

    • 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?
