rofl the brakes russ!

adam yeah I guess so in this case coz he wasnt so close. when you are right on their bumper, you just aim straight for them and they either flick out of the way (most of the time), or you absolutely nail them (unlucky). Have a look at the vid, first flick was almost in the length of the car, then it slowly moved off the the right sliding all the way. If you go right like franks did (looked like the right place at first) you can very quickl y run out of luck.

check out the end of this vid for what can happen when you try and miss them, if I had aimed for him at the start of the spin I would have missed him by a mile

I don't understand what you're saying Duncan.

I remember seeing that video ages ago.  It made me decide that unless someone is right up my arse, if someone spins in front of me I hit the brakes hard.  Cars spinning out of control don't generally turn around and slide back the way they just came.

:werd:

Two cars lost it in front of me yesterday at EC, one was on the brakes and didnt roll back, the other must have still been on the loud pedal as the car lurched forwards when he was a good 60deg sideways, theres no prediciting what they are doing so i just jump on the anchors as best i can, shame i cant miss walls liek i miss spinning cars:(

    • 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.
