Well i feel the time has come to right a intro about me and my skyline...so here goes.

My name is Bronson, im 18 and from Rockingham,WA

i am currently employed in the RAN(which funds my car quite nicely at my age might i add)

Enough of that, my car is more important.

In december of last year i bought my 3rd car(first a jackaroo,then a courier, then my dream car), a 1995 series 1.5 r33 skyline with 100,000k's on the clock and only a pod filter under the hood.

withtin the first week it had a full 100,000k service and a "hard to find them in that condition" response from the blokes at c-red, which was a good feeling.

Not saying i had any doubt about it, i had my old man with me who was a mechanic for 30 odd years, saying, if you dont buy it, i will.

and i couldnt give up the the price of 9k, for a car which ive wanted since i first saw fast and the furious.(boys

yes, i do have plans to mod it, and i know people are gonna say "you should have brought a already modded one" but im more of a DIY person with a passion to learn and understand cars and engines in general. could listen to people talk about cars all day long, and would only ask them more questions!

currently my car has a intake gasket leak which im just waiting on the full gasket kit from nissan until i fix it(my aswell do them all while its pulled apart), already have the studs which im going to replace aswell whilst i've pulled it apart that far. its also on axle stands while the white rims get a nice coat of gloss black... all 4 for $200, cant go wrong.

hoping to meet as many of you as i can over the years to come at cruises and numerous other events :)

thanks for your time.

Bronson

Thanks fellas!

My idea on the mods are by no means extensive, just that little bit more of a kick from a stand still.

I already brought a 2nd hand turbo back exhaust, just gonna sand it back and spray it Matt black at work and polish the tip up a bit and when I change the gaskets I'll put the exhaust on instead of the stock one, and will put a blitz front mount which I will get anodised black for a sleeker look. Also looking at getting the bcracing adjustable coilovers to upgrade from the stock ones which are quite soft :P

Would also like some gadgets in the car,specifically gauges in a triple mount holder., and am already replacing faded stock items(gear knob, handbrake lever cover, steering wheel, gear surrounds) with newer looking 2nd hand ones. Also managed to pick up a really good second hand genuine set of floor mats for cheap with I'm incredibly happy with, making the interior feel that little bit more new :D ( I'm a big fan of keeping my skyline with a good mixture of stock and aftermarket, will be incredibly picky of how it it looks) also wanna fix the drivers mirror which doesn't fold in, but folds out. Bloody mirror! Hahahah

Also buying a gtr wing from over east which is black and will fit nicely with my rims.

    • 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?
