hey i parking wand is a pole with a light on the top of it that pops vertically out of the corner of your bumper bar like an antenna, so when u park u can see how close the corner of the car is to the next car...

I have seen those on other cars and they are so gay! my car is an impul r33r (complete workshop car) and as such no longer has the factory bumpers. maybe I can rig it up to do something else?

BTW i've never heard them called parking wands before.

thanks for your help

i'll just add that to the list of things the car used to have. there are plugs and wires going all over the place but don't plug into anything! there are even plugs under the front seats that look like the original seats were powered. oh well

thanks for your help guys

I got a switch there in my 33 but mine turns off the head lights when you come to a complete stop after 3-5 seconds, so if i flick it to off the heads lights don't turn off when I stop

The under the seat plug is just from the factory seat belts. The seat belts get changed with cheap ones as part of compliance.

    • 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.
