My GTR is with Gary at the moment being done. Quoted cost is $1070, but I'm going to ask for a discount as I ended up supplying my own cat as well as paying to have it fitted elsewhere.

He must run the place under a couple of different business names, cos the sign at his factory actually has the business name 'Japtralia'. Phone # is 9837 5771.

He has 3 different businesses all next to each other, he runs a spare parts shop, a compliance and Engineering shop (Lena Engineering) and a smash repair shop (Japtralia)

Hey yeah good idea - here's a couple of pics. Looks great in pictures but I think i'm gonna have to give it a respray. I was told it was in excellent condition but it seems to be far from it. That's the risk hey...

Get the paint work looked at first, might just need re-finishing. I did mine as it was pretty dull when I got it, looks a treat now. What are the problems?

i like your car mate....do u mind if i ask how much it cost you so far?

yeah as I said it looks great in pictures, but not so good close up....

It's cost me just over $10k so far.

Sounds like not much, but add on road costs, compliance, insurance, alarm, tyres, and it's around $14k

here's a couple of pics of the crappy paint...

not really on my own topic but here is the old coolant and some seriously fouled HKS plugs I pulled out today. I don't know how the car was even running...

Fark, brown coolant! is that a sign of a rusty radiator or......

Who did you get to import the car for you? was it any of the well known companies?

It was through prestige motorsport BUT it was a yahoo auction car I think - so prestige had no idea of the real condition of it...

So when prestige bids on the car, they never actually go and see the thing in person to verify that its not a complete flood damaged car or whatever?

So by bidding on yahoo you ran the risk of getting a car that was basically a timebomb waiting to waste your money...?

Somehow i thought it was different :confused:

oh believe me - the seller of the car has a big black mark to his name now... but there's basically not much else you can do. The car was transported straight to a shipping yard when I bought it, to await export. I had to buy this car before it could be inspected anyway, and why pay someone to inspect it when you already own it? In the end it just needs some TLC, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

Oh well, heres hoping that you won't have any really big problems with it. Otherwise you will be like me and wishing, for the money spent fixing it you could have just bought a GTR instead. :D

isn't there like 7 days before the auction ended? and if you were that keen on it surely prestige could've organised an engineer to go check it out before the end of bidding so you didn't get a lemon.

yeah my car is with Gary at lena engineering at the moment. Due to finish Wednesday next week

Dropped the car off there this arvo - Gary seemed like an alright bloke. He discussed everything with me and said it will be ready in 5 days...

Saw your grey R32 in there - he showed me the side intrusion bars he'd put in yours - looks like a good job :-)

      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.
