Here is a picture before the cars untimely death. Picture quality isn't crash hot, it was dark when I took the picture.

There are some things that are not replaceable...material objects are. As Nizman said, he could have owed boxhead's mum more than some money for insurance

Im shocked.... The padock looks the same as the one where you put it through the fence... But with no fence....

sorry to here but there are better cars in the fish bowl...

You'll look back on it in a couple of years and laugh...(maby)

i already am laughing at it... i mean it happened, being sad/angry or anythin wont change it, so we mayaswell look back at it and look on bright side, this time i will prolly get a turbo car :) mmhmm gts4..

Boxhead, Nizman, glad to see you're both OK, but don't take it to heart, cars trip over all the time for no reason (like my race car during my first race, guess that's why they have "roll" cages.)

The tragedy here is that a blue skyline has been lost:(

mmmmmm, very bad, yes very bad.

I rolled my 77 model yellow mazda 626 just after I got it, not because of bad driving, I just hated the car.....

I would like to offer my sympathies and my car for you to buy if you are interested.....?

a) its a gtst not a gts4, B) i dont think suncorp metway iwll give me that much payout and c) i think its a little overpowered for me at the moment...

i wouldnt mind having a look at the seat belt brakets to see if they streched as during compliance we take out the higrade steel brackets and replace them with crap yes crap mild steel brackets

im actually glad to see they held but i myself would feel better if the rules changed next year to leave the standard belts in place.

other compliancers know what im talking about here.

      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?
