hmmm im having traction probs and my car well shouldnt be powerful enough to be spending most of my drive to work this morning sideways!

Is it my tyres being square - i mean ive got 90% tread on them but it must be the eggs i guess?

Literally i lost traction 4 times on the way to work - once around a corner which was fun cos this arsehole was tailgating me and i was taking off slow cos of the wet roads so i thought - u wanna see what happens when i put my foot down? well here we go wanker - hehe and there was a bit of drifting n fishtailing after that - lets just say he backed off pretty quick specially when it happened again on the take off from the lights but i wasnt being stupid that time. Yes even when i tried to take off really slowly the 4th time not far from work the back wheels were spinning and the car was going sideways - so i dont know - im guessing its the tyres? but its not like i still dont have grip.

i have an auto - i mean the corner was delibrate to get arsehole a fright behind me n off my tail. But the other three times was when i was taking off and i was trying to do it slowly but it just kept spining the tyres.

Morning - most of us WA arent even outta bed yet well its 9am so they should be.

    • 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?
