hey all, been kinda lurking here quietly for a while, reading posts (tutorials are great!!) just wanted to say an offical g'day and introduction. We're keen to meet up with some other enthusiast and maybe join in a cruise sumtime...

Question first: recommendations for best car security systems? Thanx for any suggestions.

Well my partner and I decided about a year ago we wanted to look out and see our two dream cars in the garage...first came the Tori mid last year, 78 LX SS hatch.. Then after months of searching, importation paperwork and patient waiting, the Skyline arrived in Jan this year... R32 GTS4

Its pretty sweet having these two cars, although keeping the dollars up to wish-list is proving a challenge. The lines awesome, been on the road about 4 wks, although she's been in and out of the mechanics sorting out a few issues, we're slowly getting her up to speed. The paint is a bit shabby up close (not so straight as we were led to believe), along with a fair few scratches and dents picked up on the not-so-gentle importation process, which was a bit of a bummer. At the moment all spare cash is going on internal health but hopefully we'll have her lookin nice by the end of the year. Dreaming of that day!

So if you see us out and about give a wave and say Hi (white 32/OMX61 plates). Tho, im still learning to deal with the 18 year old punk harrasment factor of driving a skyline, specially being female, so plz don't be offened if driver seems zoned out ignoring other cars..lol. We're in the pine rivers area, and mostly stick around the north side of brissy.

cheers all, hope every1's having a nice sunday arvo :(

Hey welcome aboard :wavey:

yeah unfortunately owning a Skyline means that every toy racer with an inferiority complex wants to have a go at the lights. Just ignore them and save it for Willowbank is the best option.

Welcome, first, beware of Cyrus, have met him once and am already worried..... Just kidding, great guy and loads of info on 'lines. Am in the same shire, southern end tho. Silver R33 S2. Still looking for a good alarm myself, but a good, well hidden imobiliser is very effective if you just want them to leave most of the car where you parked it!!

discrimination....first the 34',s now its gender..just who do you ppl think you are??? This is a discrace to the forums. So in response lets do the mature thing and organise an all but 34 cruise consisting of only males :(

lol...well any cruz will be a good cruz :rofl:

hey thanks for the friendly welcome folks. will definately keep an eye out for everyone whilst out and about.

The group buy on the viper alarms looks good. Cheers for posting that Slide. We already have a viper in the tori and its seems like a pretty good system so far..

modr33s2 - its pretty hard to compare the two, tori is a NA 253 (in need of a rebuild very soon) she revs hard/has a sh*t load more torque than the Line and is basically just a beast.. lol.. just a totally different experience, but beaautiful to drive :(

The skyline gets the comments/looks from mostly younger ppl, but the torana gets alot of the older generations smilin when they see/hear her and remember when they had one 20yrs or so ago :( We actually travelled from Perth to Cairns many yrs ago in a little LJ coupe as kids.. they're all tough little cars... you can't help but love em'

If your that insecure guy's maybe you should attend, we wouldn't like any ego's getting bruised.

      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?
