Here's a noob question for you. I was pressing different switches in the car today and something had triggered a 4WD light to show up on the dash. I thought the cars were full-time AWD. Can anyone shed any light on why this light is on?

Not full time AWD. They are the same ATTESSA as GTR so only AWD when the back wheels slip. Watch your torque meter when you're on a hill and pulling out somewhere it will flick some drive to the front wheels.

Great. Thanks for that. So do you know what I have switched to engage the 4WD light on the dash?

Was an epic year. So many powder days. Well powder days as far as Australia is concerned. I just got back from riding in Austria and Italy. Got chest deep powder one day in Austria.

Fingers crossed for an even better season this year

Funny follow up on the original car I was going to buy. I drove past the car yard where I was going to buy the original car I put a deposit on with a friend who wants a station wagon. I wanted to show him what a Stagea looks like and wouldn't you know it, the same car is still there. After they told me I had to pay today, today, today as there were so many other buyers clambering to get their hands on this car. Ha ha ha. Slimy car salesman. What a douche..

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
