I forgot about 3 mainly cause of the big turd that it is

EDIT. Bout the only good bit of that movie was the stuck up blonde getting injured at the start

Oh and trying to drift a FWD Lancer on the docks with expert commentary from the old fisherman

The dirty blond was pretty funny,

I thought they just droped the front shaft out of a ralliart lancer?

pretty epensive if its at home? is it 415 or 240?

Either way, I'd say they would have to run a seperate line to the transformer for 3 phase.

Sounds sucky :/ might give that a miss by the sounds of it...

do you already have 3 phase in your switchboard??

do you have rewireable fuses or circuit breakers in your switch board?

if you picture digging a trench from your switchboard to your garage, is it a easy path?

why do you NEED three phase?

these questions answer yours :)

a mate of mine done a uni project on converting single phase to 3 phase power last year.

Uni projects are generally based on something that has already been done so there might be an off the shelf unit that does it

ah yes, keep forgetting your a sparky

I still need to dig that trench anyway as there is NO power there yet... So that's not an issue!!

The hoist I want can be single phase if it needs as they are cheap enough...

if there were no rules and you dug the trench i could do it in a couple hours for ya hah. but im not a tradesman etc etc etc

Well hurry up and get your trade :P

Sounds sucky :/ might give that a miss by the sounds of it...

How many wires from the pole to the house?

Is the tyre machine cheap enough as in a couple of hundred or is it more than that?

Also be very careful what type of arm it has as some can move when taking off or fitting tyres and can scratch rims

Also a good idea to have one or two 15 amp outlets in a garage as well for welders or compressers if needed

EDIT just my 2c worth

ahh but you overlook the etc etc etc haha.

i get my trade in december then ill look into getting everything i need to do it for you!

At the rate I work it'll probably take that long to dig the trench :laugh:

Yeah hopefully I can keep chipping away at debts and then be able to afford to wire up the shed and ONE day get a hoist so it makes it easier to work on our cars :D

    • 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.
