well its been way to long but A.I.R is opening the doors for drag racing THIS SATURDAY 26TH, sadly only 1/8 mile for the first few events but its a whole lot better than nothing. gates open at 8am, racing from 9 finishes at 11. Some big names are making the trek over including GAS Motorsport and the Brays. seriously not an event to be missed

didnt the ba falcon have near 600 rwkw and the gtr i know had 406kwaw... and from wat i saw on the time board there was a couple tenths in it... hardly a smashing

also, it was the first qualifying run for all cars...

were so many surprised packet cars, great day, pity i had to leaver at 530, was running very smoothly

doorslammers going 4.0 - 4.2 at 173 to 176 mph to the 1/8th... crazy

Was an awesome day with some amazing cars ..... 176mph at half track is amazing - makes your bones hum with excitement as they fly past.

Pity I got burnt as hell - at least I am not as burnt as Terbeeke - he is going to be sore tomorrow! Great to catch up with MattR, Whatsisname, MattyT & Jas too!

its std turbo(ported flapper still internal) on that thing pushing 400 at best and shes a fat bitch with 1900+kg inc driver fuel ......400awkw should of destroyed a ba a few tenths is big news in any drag racing circle :domokun:

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
