Another lurker from England

Hello,

Not sure when I joined up here but have came here for a wander round. I bought an r33 gtr vspec in July last year and has took around 6 months to be put back on the road. Was missing an engine and gearbox when I got it and while a new engine was being built, I upgraded a couple of things. Its still on a run in map which is boring as I am limited to 4000rpm (link g4+ limit set at 5500rpm) but I noticed it had a misfire between 2-3000rpm under load so it is back at the garage 120 miles away having that and a few other things addressed.

Id never driven a skyline until the day I went to pick it up a few weeks ago so its all new to me. Did around 145 slow miles and have about 500 to go before the oils changed and the map tweaked with the limiter taken off. Be good when its ran in so I can familiarise myself with it and see what all the fuss is about.

Not sure its been worth all the hassle so far but haven't really had a chance to get to know it yet. People keep telling me it will be worth it in the end, I live in hope.

Bit of a long-winded hello but there you go,

Cheers

Rest assured it will all be worth it. I miss my R33 GTR to death. 

Many GTR owners on here have gone through pain with their cars only to be rewarded at the end. Stick with it.

      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?
