yeah, but everything else was gentle.  

Paul has a habit of making things......faster/dangerous.

Lets just say that on average micko and paul drive faster than russ and Liz.  

which is not an endigtment on russ or liz, just that micko and paul are maniacs!

:D

Thanks Alex - I'll remember to keep my slow unconfident ass out of cruises.... don't want to hold you guys up or anything.

C'mon Lizzah,

I dont have any complaints - besides, Id much rather share breakfast with you than with paul :D

like I said - theres two types of cruises...

..and that wasnt the type where paul gets behind you and snow-ploughs you to the finish line!!

(thank god)

as far as unconfident etc goes - I think the hills are good for that, because you can generally find your own pace.

Always gonna get different rates of driving, but its probably dangerous to try and keep up with a car as modified as pauls when you're driving a semi-stock one.

Yer aidwin has been hiding. Who knows where?

Get out of the govt. U just waiting for that long service and pension plan they have. I know:)

so are you seeing him on the weekend or something??

govt - preaching to the converted. but for now it pays better than private enterprise anyways.:uh-huh:

I think Russ does a damn fine job with his N/A.... oh and me... well after ploughing through a car and 4 traffic lights and also the minor incident at that cruise.... hrrmmmm I was actually beginning to get my confidence back and I thought I did well at the cruise and even better on Friday night.

Nothing like an awesome comment on ones driving to change all that.....

Liz, like I said - comment was not about your driving ... more about Paul's.

as for micko - he's driving a GTR.

re the brekky cruise - you had fun and you didnt bin it. therefore you did a good job.

the whole point of having those cruises is to have fun. provided that you do that, it doesnt really matter how fast you're going.

    • 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.
