On saturday night I started my car and was going to go towards orange grove macca's I heard this clunking noise in the engine bay. I called NRMA to see if they could help. Finally they had arrived and checked the engine and said that maybe the injectors were f$*ked so no help from him as he could not pinpoint the problem. On the monday I had my car towed to the workshop where it had been serviced on the saturday morning. They got back to me yesterday and told me that number 4 piston was f**ked. I asked why this has happened they told me that a piece of metal had gone through the inside intercooler piping and straight into the piston and at this stage they would have to strip the engine and fix it but I won't get it back untill middle of january :):(

Does anyone know of good workshops that know how to work on skylines because I'm wanting it fixed asap:D :P

C&V Performance in Waterloo should be able to look after you...

Give them a call on 9690-2000, and ask to speak to "Big Con"... Tell him Andrew Ho referred you and they'll look after you... Explain your predicament, and see if they can fast-track the job for you...

Is that your car in your avatar? Looks beautiful! Got any larger pics?

Yes, they are always busy, that's why I said to drop my name :P

I called on Monday midday, and told them I needed a clutch fitted, and they said to bring it down straight away, and they'll do it for me :)

They then did a service for me on the spot when I asked them to later in the week...

It's all about who you know :)

Frankie - you had me there for a minute Bro !

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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!
