I'll poke him up the arse with me chopsticks...hang on he might like that. I'll have to think of something else.

Hey Ed, how are you involved with SAU? Are you and the DR like on the board or what's the deal? How do I become a member? A "Skylines Australia" sticker would look sik on my Echo, across the bonnet. What ya think? LOL

Franky, repayments on the car would differ greatly due to the tax implications that a specific salary would provide. Obviously the tax benefits of someone on 20 k Vs 90 k would be quite different.

Cost would also differ greatly on the KM's being travelled in the vehicle as well as the budgets set for seriving and tyres (which would directly relate to the KM's travelled) ....

When you say average km's and services I use ?? Not 100 % sure what you mean buddy .... are you talking about the intervals to which I would budget the car for servicing ?

Lemme know ...

Kool, I picked up my door shell and front guard from Just Jap today so should be back on the road soon :P Took two trips tho, they gave me a driver side door and a passenger side guard ... didn't notice till I got home as the guard was in bubble wrap so we had to make two trips ... ffel like a bit of an idot for not noticing :lol:

    • 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.
