Battery, alternator or something else!

hey guys, today i was driving my car and noticed the rev tacho not moving at all, just stuck on 0rpm. then when i started the car later the std boost gauge, oil pressure and water temp were all on zero... then as i drove on further the elec windows wouldnt go and then the power steering started to die...

my SAFC II still works and only reads 10volts.

is it simply a flat battery (it is a couple of years old now) or would it be the alternator? its just weird how things slowl began to stop functioning...

any ideas?

thanks!

Ben

oh man what a nighmare today was! spend bloody hours on it!

replaced the alternator, and the battery and the thing still had the same symptoms...

so after hours of fitting and refitting alternators and putting the cooler piping back in place i got the multi meter out, and checked each fuse under the dash, one of them was dead... replaced it and now everything works fine!

finished fitting the catch can too - with sexy braided lines

anyway my car is functioning 100% and purring like a putty cat!

    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
