HI Scott thanks for the reply,this car was owned by my son he treated it very nicely and only put rims and a head unit in it so it is all STD i drove it about 1 year ago and the HICAS worked fine but he said that the last couple of months he could feel it doing strange things,I have just swaped it for a ve commy as he is about to have a family,when i drove it home 700 ks i drove over some rough road and since that the back end wants to steer itself VERY SCARY.I have been under the car and all the suspension seems ok other than the pass side back strut which has a very small weep this has been there for awhile.I am a mechanic and have been for 35 years so I know what to look for but would like a workshop manual for this thing,love my nissans,not sure if you know what a 240k yes a 240k not a z is, but in my younger day i owned a 4 door version i had a l2.8 in it nizmo race cam high compression big valves 3 inch exhaust 650 holley double pumper and so on,, very wild in the day this car used to stay up with the v8s it was a 12 second car, but now im limited to my patrol until i got the r34.

    • 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.
