Hi there people.

I'm new to this forum, and new to skyline ownership, having bought mine less than a month ago.

Anyway, I was wondering what happened to the main theme of this thread - I'd be really interested in a dyno run, just to get an idea of where my car is at. $50 or whatever sounds fair. Has there been any dates discussed?

Anyway, great to find such an active forum, and some good ppl. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys if/when this idea gets off the ground.

take it easy,

Simon.

This whole idea seems to have died so I have got in contact with the guys who helped me with mine last time and they are keen to have another dyno day. Price will still be $50 and it will be in September. More details on Wednesday as I am having a meeting tomorrow afternoon with them.

No probs mate they don't mind, in fact they do a lot of 4wd's when they fit UNICHIP etc. It will be at Cramer Dyno & Performance in Toowoomba. There are pics on my site in the Diary section.

I wouldn't count on Sub Zero turning up, they said last time they were bringing 6 cars and they didn't even turn up at all????

Boxcar Racer....Dream on matey, I am the king of exhaust noise:lol:

Toowoomba sounds good - it's always an entertaining drive up the range :)

In terms of dates, I can do just about anything except the last two weekends of August. (24/25th) or (31 aug / 1 sept) are out for me. Other than that, I can do any time at all.

I'd be interested for sure.

I've gotta get my clutch sorted first! I'm currently getting ****loads of slippage in any gear I try, so that's really messing with my attempts at getting it properly tuned at the moment. Hopefully sort that out this week...

    • 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.
