Yo Chookie chicken, you keen for pies on the weekend? We may need to scout this 21st cruise route as people are concerned about the ferry so i am thinking we repicate the run and see for ourslelves before i post up all of the details in a thread.... Let me know if your keen? I dont wanna post it up without knowing what its like!

See that truck thing coming up Wednesday on One HD? Looks alright!

No but I'll check it out

On a different topic I dropped the truck off to get some work done under warranty. Mainly a new headgasket as the bolts have streched and it leaking coolant

I ask the service person if they got new headstuds for the job and they say no we will use the old ones they should be alright

I thought all headbolts were a single use thing these days so will see what happens

Looks interesting! I like seeing shit built :D

I would be replacing the head studs if it was my car but depending on what the workshop manual says on those things will determine what is replaced under warranty as its all by the book!

But seriously IF the leak is due to bolts stretching why the f**k would you re-use them? lol :no:

Wow, thats been a while man! I would PM one and ask if everything is OK?

I am sure mine went through pretty quickly.... Its copped a hiding today :woot: Pic dump followed by chat......

Its odd that you've had no reply, the guys are normally pretty good.......

Ash is up to his eyeballs in SAU Nats so not sure how you will go there, although he is generally awesome too :D

Oh and the job on the truck turned to shit as well

I wanted to get it done in a weeks time when I'm on holidays so if anything went wrong it wasn't a problem but for whatever reason the boss wanted it done today and pick it up tomorrow

I get a phone call that it won't be ready till Friday and the boss hits the roof, en result was it got put back together before the head came off and will be done when I'm on holiday

Is everyone's car under cover

Looking nasty weather wise

Yeah, it's been under cover for too long :/

You should see the pics Sean posted up in the members thread!! Snow/hail :blink:

Damn

Where's he at?

Oh and I would come with you guys on Sunday but unfortunately I'll be outside fishing

On a unrelated note I went to the BP near work this arvo for fuel and the young bloke behind the counter says

"I was wondering who owns that car. I've seen it in the car park and a mate of mine owns 33"

Was a bit surprised as I don't think the car gets noticed that much

Anyone think the below is too much stretch? Looking at the same tyres as the wheels on the left, which are the same width as mine...

Thoughts?

    • 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.
