If the guy is speeding, let him pass - do everything you can to let them by - two reasons.  1. there could be an emergency (not likely, but it may happen) and if you were in a similar situation, you would appreciate people getting out of the way.  

Word.. for some reason people in Perth can't handle the fact that someone might want to go a bit faster than they are on a freeway.

I challenge any right hand lane hog to go drive in the UK or Europe for a while and see how long it takes before either a cop fines them for obstructing traffic or someone rams them off the road...

(guess who's just witnessed crappy Perth driving after a month driving round the UK:D)

Well, yesterday I saw my skyline's life flash before my eyes as I encountered my dickhead perth driver story. Driving through suburbia, doin 50km/h, just commuting along between my parents place and my house. Passing an oval where footy is being played and as I come up to a corner, I see a white camry waiting to pull out. He's stopped so I continue at 50 up the hill. No more than 10-15m from the corner now, he applies the gas and pulls out in front of me. No time. I lock it up and start sliding on wet road. Fortunatley, instinct doesn't overrule my brain and i take my foot off the brake, furiously steer to the other side of the road to swerve around this bloke, reapply the brakes, now heading for opposite curb on wrong side of road, trying to take in where other cars are (oncoming, camry driver, my car), manage to again release my locked up brakes and steer away from curb as i complete my severe swerve around this dickhead. I come to a stop safely on my side of the road, in the original direction i was heading, check that i haven't shat/pissed myself and check rear vision mirror only to see this clown simply drive off in the opposite direction like nothing had happened. Meanwhile, I'm having heart pulputations.

Fortuantley, both myself and my car are all in one piece and without a single scratch. Time to go buy lotto ticket.

Dickheads....

    • 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?
    • 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.
