Hi there..

Dont know if anyone will be able to help, but I have a 1991 Skyline GTS-T M-Spec, 4 Door Sedan... I recently fitted my amps etc. insto the boot, and all was sweet... But hten i thought it was time to bling it up a bit, so removed some of the panels i had made and carpeted them... when i refitted everything, i got wicked alternator whine... Anyway, to cut a long story short, i have tested all my gear and cables, to which none are at fault... I have had the alternator checked, and all was sweet.. I even tried a supressor on the alternator (and just about everything else) which didnt help... I guess my question was, has anyone else had noise issue with this model of Skyline, and did anyone have any luck fixing it? Would really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have..

Cheers,

Damo

yeah the earth points are all good aye... havent thought about upgrading the batteries earth though..

but i acutally unplugged my alternator to see if that would help (after haveing it prof. checked, to which it was all sweet)... most of the whine went away, but i still had noise... sounded alot like ignition tick actually...

sorry to hear others have the same prob, but kind glad to know i'm not the only one at least..

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
