Went down to the Motorplex yesterday to have a look at the Commodore / HSV club meet.

They had some quite nice cars there and some damn fast ones too! (quite a few running 12's)

There was also one white GTR down there running mid 13's (anyone from here ?) and a stock bug-eyed Rex. Would have been nice to see more Jap cars there for comparison/competition!

The nicest car there (IMO) was a black Grange which was eating most other cars. Spoke to the owner in the pits, had a peek under the bonnet and in the boot and after seeing the blue bottle, everything became clear...

Is NOS, is good! :)

Is thatthe guy with the private plates? elderly guy with walking stick? if So he is a pretty nice guy! the car is auto but has gotten Chris Mills performance to do a few things. The nitrous setup on that is very nicely done and very neat , if you were a sweet talker you could say the setup under the hood is just an airbox or sumfin... well besises that little NOS sticker on it.

He was getting beaten all the time by rexes so he said he decided to do sumfin about it and spent many a $ on it tilll he was confident it would win... very nice setup!

Yup, that was the guy - Chris Mills did all the mods for him.

In terms of mods, all you could really see was the blue bottle in the boot and two braided lines going into the air-box, that was it.

A very nice setup!

respect to the 12 seconds commodores!!

i know we always say skylines are fast cars etc but who here has a gts-t and has run a 12? commodores are RWD too, so dont complain about traction. and dont complain about 'NOS is cheating' cos the fact is hes got the time slip!

im not converting or anything, dont worry:D its just surprising that a 'fast car' such as the gtst skyline is failing to lay down any times worth quoting.

I think I saw that car on wed. night. Has the private plates 'grange' ?

Adam ; I am tempted to say something outlandish like :

" I'll be doing 12's soon as well "

But, I take deep breaths and repeat the words of calmness " its a work car .... it's a work car.... " :)

      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.
