I love it when they think they are faster. I had an experience like that. New BA Falcon with the guy inside wearing a FPV hat. I knew he was going to try and drag so I took off at a medium pace shifting at around 4000rpm and I finnished just in front. Next lights I didnt bother at all and he was stoked. Third set I launch as hard as I can and manage to get it perfect and shift hard up to about 110km/h. His face was priceless he was all smug then when I launched it his jaw hit the floor. I was just like :uh-huh: thats right buddy feel the shame.

i must agree, commodore drivers have some kind of ego when it comes to skylines.

a couple of weeks ago when i was being dropped home (i think Veilside dropped me home) a VK followed us all the way from Hindmarsh going past woden all the way into badimara street tailing us. we turned of into my street and they decided to hit the gas and showoff because we didnt go them. maybe its like bulls when they see red they go rogue maybe commodore drivers when they see skylines they just forget everything and decide there the man?

almost every bald middle aged man in his "oh crap im having a mid life crisis, i need a sports car but the wife will shoot me if i buy something impartical GET OVER IT!!!!

What if he happens to be driving a "practical" SII Stagea and tends to upset people at the lights - because station wagons are not supposed to be quick!

Maybe I need to grow some hair.

Settle on the middle age shite lads. You'll be there soon enough.

I love my beast, I can't help getting older................and faster.

I don't wanna grow up OK! Is it Peter Pan syndrome ?

(must admit tho it freaks me to see other middle age wankers - even tho I might be considerd 1 in the GTR). We'll sort that out on the track.

My other car was a weekend track queen.... 260Z 2+2, FIA 72 rally cam, close ratio box, 4.375:1 lsd, 200lb/inch adjustable suspension, half cage, no muffler.... it was my daily driver. Mind you, it took a few years to reach that stage. It sits in the driveway now, minus the good box, diff and the cage - still an absolute blast to drive, more fun that the 240 for cornering, but slow as a wet week (88kw at wheels vs ~ 140). And I NEVER got pulled over.

Yep, I have the FTO with the black bonnet, it wasn't CF, but someone poured some battery acid on it or something so I thought I'd paint the bonnet black to see what it looks like.

The whole car is painted BA mercury silver now with full body kit waiting for someone that wants a rice car to take it off my hands.

Back to Canberra. Damn I know Canberra roads are good, but they really need to know when to back off. I mean what's the point in going on the wrong side of the road after you have lost. only going to get themselves or someone else killed.

Anyway, carscene getting better in Canberra, was at woden food court the other day and there were 2 180sx and a s14a parked outside. if it wasn't so cold I'd consider moving back.

    • 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!
    • 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?
