Hehe yes... i want something to polish...

Also my headlights were dimming with the beat of my little 10' sub. Now i am upgrading to a slightly more powerful system and my guess is that it will only get worse.

I am upgrading all power cables, earths etc

Thanks a lot for that link... but is that part number just the replacement number for the original alternator? or did you "upgrade" to a better one?

There's a replacement number in the thread, and the number for the Bosch ones that are "upgrades", even though there's no change in power output... and they're nice n shiny to boot.

If you want a power upgrade apparently Nissan Q45/President alternators are great on a Skyline.

Cheers for that

I am not sure if the stock one cant supply enough power, or if it is just shagged, so I think I will upgrade just in case, wont cost that much extra to put a better one on I dont think.
