hmm.. well the skyline army grows!!

Managed to convince my mate to buy a Skyline, and after looking at crappy old magnas, lancers, etc which really were all pretty bland when he looked at this GTS4 he bought it! Its an RB25DE, but he wasn't really after the extra costs of a turbo. Had all the options, and well when you do the math basically the best featured car for the price really.

1994 R33 GTS4, with 10 stacker CD, manual, and the cleanest interiors i have ever seen! Factory floor mats were like new, and not one scratch on the interior at all.. truly immaculate. Definitely genuine 77,000km. Stock as an absolute rock, as it came in under the new scheme.

Now this is two mates who have bought skylines since i have - haha. My mate in Melb bought a R33 GTR end of last year after going in mine enough times. Guess they know what is the best car for the $$ out there these days :)

now I just got this other mate in melb, who was thinking of getting another car, and has almost being convinced to get a liner too :) although not sure whether he is going to sell his car now :)

Ive got 2 people to buy 33 gtst's :)

Next on the list is a 97-98 GTR for me :) Not for awhile yet tho, and one of my mates will probably buy my gtst, cos i want it looked after, considering all the moolah and time ive spent on her!

Anyways, pred.. Hows dave going with your car?

My mate is on the goldcoast.. There would be a few around though, in fact there is a marone one up my road with a kit which i had a chat to recently. He is always driving around, 'nother bloody loud one for n/a too! :)

I reckon the non-turbo is a reasonable option, about $5k cheaper and things. Still a nice car, but only thing lacking is the power mainly. Looks the same after all.

Will be interested to see how my mates handles with the ATESSA GTS4 option. Stagea engine swap is also a possibility to give you a RB25DET 4WD -- but i doubt he will be in for that :)

      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.
