yea... so anyways... i aint spending the money Andy, its a mates car.. he is spending the money.. not me! so ner!

Ill give trojan a call, but is there anywhere else to compare prices and all???

Thanx guys.

But on the other topic... Ill buy your car Richard... or trade.. and you can match it with a bit extra cash... :wassup: :):D:D:D

Congratulations Leigh, You made the top of my list.

All the others have been previously removed.

 

I will deliver your prize.

:kewl:

(personally!)

 

Mwahahahaha!

lol sinista come on tridentt still has to be on top :) one comment from me and i make the top oh well i am feeling the love at least :) haha

All I can say is, Ed quoted me on a few things like swapping turbos etc.. and I was taken back.. so much so that I decided to do it my slef.... Man... I know hwy it cost's a bit, changing the turbos on a GTR is one ****ing anoying job, and not one I'll rush into doing again. And yeah I belive he is fairly priced, but you are paying for experiance and the ability to drive in... drive out.. dont even have to clean your hands, thats a pretty big deal.

If you have the means to do it your self (and the time) I say go for it, it definatly saves money, but be prepared to be with out a car for a few months and have lots of band aids available, be prepared for pain and frustration.... taking an engine out is no easy feat, the concept is simple, unbolt pull out, put in, bolt up, but there is alot more to the application..

If you have the means to pay some one to the the job in several days, Pay it!

Ed's work is top notch! and he is a top, bloke, you get what you pay for!

Trojan are also a good work shop and reasonable priced, I dont know the guys there, but I do know Ed very well. Have known him for 4-5 years, out side of the whole car scene, He will give you no end of help!

Good luck with you decision.!

Cheers

Stirlo!

Still doesn't answer the question.... what's the conversion?

well depends on how much your mate is wanting to spend... if he has an endless budget then tell him Signal Auto in japan do a great job, lol. i dont know many places in canberra i thought only ed but maybe try looking for places in syd? and yes knowing what conversion he is going for would sure help....

thanx all...

if it was the RB to an RB in my car id would be doin it...

BUt its a mates lancer... i dont relly want to say much more about it, as i dont really have his permission, and i dont think he wants it let out... if you know what i mean..

Ed was ment to to the conversion within the last week or so, but has now decided it cant be done for another 2 months... thats y were just after another place to go.

Trojan just finished a heap of conversions and they all looked very neat and tidy to me. You havent even told us what the conversion is and to what etc... But yeah i'd see trojan.

They were cai18 to rb20 and an rb25 in 180's

    • 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.
