well today was a very busy and frantic day,
all audio in & battery in boot.
50mm^2 welding cable is not fun to run the lenght of a legnum
(0 Guage cable)
all was going well till it started raining (was working outside)
and i had left the moon roof and windows open.
quickly put the battery back in, and instead off putting + on + and - on -
i put the + on the - and - on the +
needless to say i poped alot of fuses.. big and little.
and on a public holiday and everywhere is bloody closed!
found some spares after a 1hour hunt,
all good, dont seam to have nuked anything
only fuse i couldnt replace was a main one 120amps
so theres a jumper wire on that as a temp fix.
then my deep cycle battery that was going in was flat as! (sittying in the ST for a month and hadnt been run)
jumped it from the old one,
sweet as,
only issue now is low charing voltage, (starts of fine 13.5v then after a 5 min run it sorta struggles to get abouve 12.8v)
wasnt like that befor moving the battery and nuking the car
dunno if its coz of the jumper wire (not very big)
or if its a poor earth,
will look into it tomorrow,
had enough for today.
LOL
no helping hand nearby that moment?
Thats not a good thing to do at all! Hope you haven't caused any serious damage
apart from the charging voltage
everything is fine,
all the dash lights come on and go off as they should,
everything still works.
Uh-oh! When I shorted out the dashboard clocks on my GLS it popped a the voltage regulator in the alternator - Battery light on and although it charged the battery, the readings were inconsistent. Hope that's not just happened to you!
will know tomorrow,
if i have popped the volt reg, wouldnt it just be low all the time?
the battery light doz'nt come on...
except for the startup check. and then goes off.
ill take it for a decent spin after ive chnaged to a 120amp use instead of a bit of 12ga speaker wire
its gonna be a bitch of a job to change isnt it? (alternator... if ive cooked it?)
Yup... much swearing involved.
well if you still need any fuses, i have a full set of spares
got the right fuse,
voltage is as stable as it was before
now i just have a huge gap in my engine bay to do something with
mean bro!

well today the car got treated to new oil and filter,
Supercheap had a 25% of all store stock sale so at $45 for full synthetic oil and $7 for a filter,
i couldnt pass it up....
used Castrol Edge fully synthetic 5-30w oil, (anyone used this before?)
and a valvoline filter,
also flushed/bleed the clutch with new dot 5.1 fluid,
man the old stuff was black!!
gear changes feel easier/smoother clutch feels better (bit softer?)
will be changing the gearbox fluid to some Royal purple stuff later this month,
also looking at aftermarket coolers/piping,
i used edge 5-30 once but it was too thin (blew a little blue smoke at idle) but thats jsut coz the v6 mitsis are shockers for valve stem seals...
i use 10-30. no tapping and no smoke
newest shiney bit that will be fitted, 600x300x76
bar and plate, 3" inlet/outlet
got a larger throtal body lined up to im gonna pick up this week,
will be going for 3" from the turbos Y joiner to the throtal body
wanna sell the hub carriers from the ST??
The alternator has 3 phases, if you pop one it'll still go reasonably well. Mine blew a rectifier diode (went short circuit), so the car ran with charge light on, but discharged the battery when off.
hammer a soft socket over the drive shaft nut, possibly a size too small - it'll be wrecked after ward, but thats how we got my tight one off without wrecking the nut.
hmmm shiney bits - oh! i want money
