mine had a use by date of 1997 as well. Worked perfectly fine in 2002. Unfortunately my friend (who I gave it to as I had no use for it) was driving down a road with it lit, and in a moment of brilliance decided to throw it, execept it somehow bounced on the edge of the window and landed under his seat, smoking the entire car out, and giving his carpet a nice pink hue that took hours to get out.

I believe they are compulsory in Jap cars in case they break down on a bullet train track. Crack a flare and so it gives time for the train to slow down. The speed they go, they need a bit of time...

or if it's not breaking down on a track, it might be if you see the bullet train track is obstructed, you need to light your flare...

i think that's why jap cars have to have them...

my brackets are removed and placed in the glove box..I kept wondering what the heck that was...lol...good thing I read this forum... :angry:

aww man I should get those flares as well...do they sell flares in army surpluss stores here? ...huum

    • 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.
