With my former GTR, 1.19 in the wet. Mods, PFC, FMIC, road tyres with Whiteline sways set to stiff (not good in the wet).

I was faster with the exhaust restrictor on! HAHAHA! Spun off a few times an learned a valuable lessons:

1. Don't downshift while cornering in the wet.

2. Brake in a straight line in the wet.

3. Don't jerk the car around too much in the wet.

Getting an MR2 turbo next. Interested to see how a RWD mid-mounted car will perform around the park.

Well my first time at Wakefield (2nd trackday ever, or basically I first because my brakes died after 2 sessions at EC the year before) I only managed a 1m21sec and that was in the last handful of laps before the day was over. It took me about 40-50 laps to realise that I could push my car soo much harder around corners (with some steady understeer :rofl:). Afew laps with Duncan (whom gave me 2 good pointers) and I dropped an easy 6-7sec but by then my tyres were scrap.

In 3 trackdays (~150 laps) i've never spun, actually never even had any oversteer at all so I know I can push harder next time (with decent rubber) if I can get the balance right to dial out some of the understeer.

I've now done 3 circuits.

Eastern Creek = Big power, big brakes.

Wakefield = Suspension, skill.

Oran Park Sth = Precision, grip.

I've spun twice at Wakefield.

1st time in an R31 GTS2 (not my car, oops)

2nd time my car, tightened up the diff.

Went from 12lb to 85lb lockup.

1st lap, coming out of the stop/go corner in the middle, gassed it and woops.

Diff was worth 2+ secs a lap

Yeah, thats the corner I mean.

The other one I have trouble with is the one coming on to the straight.

I always seem to turn in too late and screw up the apex.

My favourite bit is the left, right, right, sweeping right, up the top.

I like to hurl it into the 1st left/right, slide it right out to the ripple strip on the downhill right, and then hang the arse out around the sweeper with the drivers side front wheel up on the curb.

Huge fun!

      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.
