Borrowed the full amount for my car

Would have liked to pay cash and save few grand but couldnt wait the couple of years.

"I Boostzor hereby vouch that i will never again use public transport more than a couple of times a year"(all well and good for u eastern states ppl who actually have decent public transport system. Over here every house has 3 cars or more.)

My Skyline died in the first month of my first full time job and while beating the frell out of it on the side of the freeway i told myself i would never own such a hunk of junk again so i went and bought a Toyota.(was '80 c210 skyline btw)

So yeh bank will still own my baby for a few years to come:(

Best offer I could get for a lease was 2yrs/50% resid, I said "you're joking" and wrote a cheque. Funny thing is, the finance company was right, they do loose 50% f their value in 2 years:(

Lease is always the winner for a depreciating asset if you can get it pre-tax (salary sacrifice)

No car yet, I'm planning to import under the 15 year rule in 2004 (Can get either 1988/9 Cefiro or a 1989 R32 - R32 is at the top of my list) which is the only way you can import a modified car now also. Doesn't need compliance plates either = cheap way to import. I think it's worth the wait.

    • 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?
