WA rises slightly to 1/2 track then falls to the end but stuff all in it.

The monster cars have a bit of trouble at the end of the concrete but for the streeters the tracks mint and id say the tracks as good as any in the country and holds its own world wided.Bring some good tyres tho Ash or we can arrange something for you.

if you're driving from east only plan to get 98 octane at port augusta... no other towns have it on the way... although most places have premium... also when i did it 3 months ago nullabor was $1.43 per litre so take cash... u shouldnt need geri cans aslong as u dont use the "ive got a quarter tank... ill make it to the next town" as it may be 3 hrs away...

yer, i was thinking of just using ULP,. but i know what im like. I'll want to give a squirt every so often.

So im gonna buy some jerry cans this week or the next.

I've got some ok tyres, i'll be using them as i dont have a 25 gearbox yet, last thing i wanna do it blow my rb20 one and then be in a amd rush to get another box while im over there.

So only average times, low 12's with some luck :D

God-damnit.

my 3000km old GT30 has spat a bearing or two... maybe even a few more (depending how many they have in em)

Gotta get it out and see wtf has happened to it, more importantly why.

So the trip is on hold till its running again, then... im coming. Over ;) No GT30 is going to stop me.

god-damn turbo's. hopefully its a manufacturing fault and not something from my end otherwise its another cartridge i cant afford to be buying :P

mmm, could be heaps of things. Doubt its sealer though. :) My motor man is very much keyed on indeed

maybe a bit of metal from when i blew my cylinders a while back or something, down to a hundred other things. ARGH!

;) but its getting pulled apart as soon as i have it out.

And we see what story it tells... hopefully a warranty one :P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
