Stock Vectra doing well until it rolled a tyre off the front-RHS wheel and made friends with a traffic light control box at DECA:

Howdy guys good to meet some fellow skyline nuts!

Hope all goes fine with the 34, damn nice car!

I ended up winning the co drivers by 30 points after a timing mistake on sunday was corrected last night! I think I won 6 outright quickest times also, got to be happy with that!

Great event and I'd encourage anyone who is a little keen on motorsport and drinking to give it a go!

Thanks

Who am I? I'm an ex-game show host who can actually drive, has a tough RX7 but due to sponsorship arrangements have to punt around in the sporting equivalent of a golf-cart?

Unhappy campers wating for Jack. Tara brought some good muffins to cheer us up though :D

Well done guys, looks like you had a great weekend and were very competitive. You gotta hate mechanical dramas, remember to fill us in once you know exactly what caused the problem.

I note that Golgos times weren't counted but how did it go against the competition?

Brakes in Golgo not as good as brakes in R34 - learning that fact on the job:

Jamezilla gets my vote for champion of 2004, im not too proud to admit i would have at least wound back the rev limit to 8,900rpm :D

Shame i couldnt make it to spectate, i was bashing around Horsham, Ballarat and whole bunch of places i cant spell in the mud and cold.

Good to see the R34/33 proudly flying the Nissan performance flag :D

Now that you have doen Dutton you know you want a re-match against SR/Escort in Rally of Tas :D

Will the car be ready for PI the week after next?

so did golgo have to go through an emergancy sticker procedure?

I would have thought Golgo had enough stickers as it is to enter any racing event without need for supplementation :Oops:

:):rofl::(:rofl:

congrats on giving it a go guys, and for how it went while you were running :) Also *very* pleased to see you guys hitting the cans as well :rofl:

I love the G's you pulled in a car with stock suspension too, it goes to show how amazing a good set of tyres are :(

And Simmo, can you retire from these events so someone else can win? :slap:

Simmo - great stuff mate. I think I saw just about every one of your 26 runs and you didnt put a foot wrong all weekend. So well done mate. That car you were driving sure was one tidy package - I hope for your sakes its not the last time you get to sit behind the wheel of it.

Good luck with the quest for the Oz cars too. If you are down in Melbourne be sure to drop us a line and we'll catch up for a beer.

:P

Merli: We all know you want your car to look as cool as Golgo. You = sticker-envy :D

      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.
