Hy guys!

I created this account 5 years ago when I was looking at getting a skyline, but for some reason never posted.

I'm actually in New South Wales, but I essentially live in the middle of nowhere and I work/shop/do everything I have to in Canberra 

I picked up my new baby yesterday! There are some minor things that need attention, but all in all she's pretty tidy for a 28 year old GTST. It does have an RB25det in it too.

 Also in the picture, my daily driver Navara. 

Keen to get back into the import life, it's been a hot minute.

Welcome! Also from Canberra and have a 34 GTT, hopefully see you out one night! I got to the occasional boosters meet. They are always a bit of fun. Also compete in the hill climb and head to Wakefield a bit, not sure if you’re interested but it’s a bit of fun!

Cheers! I joined the Boosters Facebook page not too long ago. Seems like a decent amount of hot hatch enthusiasts too.

No overly keen on tracking, but the hill climb could be bulk fun.

Welcome! 

Any more pics of the 32? It looks nice, what plans do you have?

 

I havnt actually taken any more of it! Yet. It definitely presents better in photos than it does in person.

Plans are to fix what needs tidying and keep it as a nice streeter. Might wind up the boost a touch though.

Welcome :) Where abouts in the  middle of nowhere?....hopefully the skyline is good for wombat dodging....

Just outside of Bredbo. It looks like I won't be driving it at night any time soon anyway.

Welcome, so I'm guessing your from near michelago way?

I'm down in berridale, and have seen a white 33 getting around jindabyne, so you're definitely not alone.

Hopefully will see you out and about.

Yeah, I am. 
I've seen the white 33 floating around Jindy and I also see a really nice black one occasionally in Cooma. It's nice not being alone!

I should be getting the car back from the Import Mechanical guys at some stage over the next couple of weeks, and was intending to go to the Boosters All Club show/meet up in December.

      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.
