Hi all. Just checking in. One hell of a night shift, just cleared out my workshop for household rubbish collection, no food since yesterday sometime and no sleep.

Getting slightly edgy.

Oh, did I mention no Skyline to take on a relaxing Sunday drive, because my alarm is playing up, and I can't drive it until the entire system is ripped out and replaced?

The Hilux is just not the same, so I am here deep relaxing breathing...

Yes, false alarm last night. The noise was my incredible neighbour who came over to see if I was OK. He checked out the entire yard, and stayed until my husband got home.

And then stayed for a couple of hours to dismantle alarm.

At the time I didn't know it was him, just heard noises. Only found out it was him when my husband came to the door with him.

At one point a police car came down the street at high speed with sirens going. I thought Yay, I'm saved! but they didn't stop, even when they must have seen my alarm going off. A few minutes later the police helicopter came over.

My neighbour also told us that the night before someone had disconnected their power in their meter box, so now I am a little worried.

But after all of that my baby is safe, and nothing on earth could start her now, so a thief wouldn't have a chance if they came tonight.

Note to myself, try not to be so cowardly when someone is messing with my baby!

    • 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.
