Hey all,

As some of you know I missed last weekends Winton round due to an expected arrival, and I wasn't disappointed despite it happening a day later!

At 7am Sunday morning my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing in at 7lb 5oz and 52cm long. Both bubs and mum are doing well and are expected to leave hospital this Thurs. As you can imagine both my wife and I are wrapped, and even more so we now have a pidgeon pair which is more than we could've hoped for. We named her Courtney Leah.

It was a bit of a rush to get to hospital as my wife was having major contractions on the way and we arrived with only 20-30mins to spare....as a result I am almost 100% sure that I have made a donation to the state coffers :) but if I had to do it again I would given the circumstances! Anyway the doc is writing a letter on my behalf so I will see how I go.

-Ant.

Thanks guys and I will pass on your wishes to Nat.

All the best for the impending birth Snowie....being so close I didn't think you would make it to WA :whistling:

Lol James...we've pretty much decided that this is our quota so a procedure is imminent,after that I won't have to worry about keeping it in my pants....and depending who is going under the knife I may not have that urge to hump visitors legs anymore :)

Hehehe Scott....thats what cousins are for and the plus side is you don't have to clothe and feed them >_<

Cheers Paul....be sure to point Lauren in the direction of the thread so she can see the new arrival.

aww so cute!!

Zach looks like a very happy big brother >_<

My best wishes to you & your family.

So it looks like you won't be getting any more than about 4 hrs sleep for a while :)

Don't do anything drastic, I bet you'll change your mind in a few years when they're a bit older and annoy you constantly, and you wish they were cute, quiet little babies again. :whistling:

Lol....thanks guys.

congrats mate. time to get those pit crew jackets mits and boots made up.

Hahaha are you offering to knit them :(

so did you take the GTR to the hospital... haha 7,000rpm clutch dump into the hospital car park to handbrake turn in the ambulance driveway was totally necessary officer lol

While I did consider that for a sec the fact that leather is easier to clean than cloth (in regard to the passenger seat) and Nat would've had to wait until I had warmed her up didn't go in the R's favour :)

Only i think Brisberella would have been a beautiful name for a little girl.

Now thats a name....where were you when Nat and I were trying to decide on names?

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
