yeah i thought that but there isnt any plugs left, and believe me ive checked, many many times because the oil pressure wire would never reach the oil temp sensor, thats how i broke the wire connection off the sensor.

check for a loose ground wire for the temp sensor

my stagea has an extra sensor on the oil cooler/heat exchanger, no wires going to it at all, just a single pin sensor sticking out

Yeah. That's the one. Kinda random. I'm going to make an adapter and use it for an oil temp guage.

Ok so no more leaks, my pcv grommet should be here today and I even got my tyre fixed so no more weekly tyre inflating. :D. 840km in and it all looking good.

I have noticed over the past few days that my car draws a lot of unwanted bogan attention.The latest 2, 1. sitting at the lights and get a kid yell out "do a drift". WTF!!! 2. Sitting at the lights, commodore pulls up beside me, I'm talking to my wife, he pulls some weird faces and does the usual I'm gonna flog this ricer spiel to his passengers, gives a few big revs and sits there waiting for the lights to change. Light goes green, he roars off an I just putter off as I'm in no rush and my pregnant wife is in the car (my car tends to hurt her) I change lanes to turn corner and he just keeps roaring off :/.

    • 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.
