aim to get there @ 5.30 for scrutineering etc.

and you'll be out racing by 6-6.30pm.. all depending on the track.

that way you get a few quiet runs in (if the track is good) before everyone else gets there so you can have a good 3-5 runs in very quick succsession quite easily

nah, you'll still get runs, just not as frequent as if you were there early.

Also, around 7pm the big V8's get out with no exhausts and if your trying to practice it can be hard to hear your car with your helemt, let alone a thundering V8 next to ya.

thats why i go at 6pm, just to have a few quiet runs on my own without charg'd 8's gonig crazy

Hey Simon,

Ash is right, the earlier you get there the better, you get more runs in and have a much better chance running your mates...

Then again due to the weather, not many people attend, so either way you'll get quite a few runs in..... thats if it doesn't get cancelled from bad weather....

Good Luck!!!!

Thanks fella's. Hopefully it doesn't.

My mate with the Sti has just finished some major mods, and is warning us that he's going to whip the GTR?? :P .. But should be fun to see what the Benz does, another guy we know ran around a flat 12 with a chip upgrade and supercharged pulley kit.

Thanks Kev.. I think the only concern we have is how to get it off the line, "with or without the ESP" If the ESP is Off, forget it the thing will just sit there spinning. Maybe you want to run it for us?? :P

Rigga - It is stock.

      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.
