Another GTR Album
Head up to KLCC with my mum tonight to collect some information about Samsung 3D LED TV because we are planning to swap our old junk Sony flat TV to Samsung 3D LED TV within this few months. After going through few explanation from the salesman, we decided to aim for 7-series either is 40" or 46". Hopefully can get this item as soon as possible for my FFXIII!! I believe it will be awesome if plug and play with the terrific 3D graphic effect TV done by Samsung.
As usual, Kinokuniya is the place where I'll visit every time at KLCC. This time I'm able to found out a great magazine about GTR34, I guess it may not be a new book but I still bought it for collection.

Welcome Home~
This morning I arrived Formula D at sharp 10AM(opening hour) to check my car. The mechanic told me he had check, inspected and test drive my car for few times, there is no problem to my car. Ah Han told me 2 or 3 cranks to spark up an engine is very normal unless 5 cranks or above only consider got problem. Yeah, finally my Hippo is back, finally I can have a sweet dream tonight~ But before that, I must clean my "Dirty Hippo"....
Blue Hippo became Dirty Hippo /_\

Alternator Found!
Yesterday morning I received sms from Adil told me that he found an suitable alternator and has been installed into my car. It is a good news to me but is the alternator for Skyline used? In order to check this out, I went to his place at afternoon.
Wow~ Guess what?! This is the 1st time I saw Twin FD3S there, I bet my brother is wetting his pants since he is a die hard fans of FD3S, LOL~ And of cause I'm feeling very great to meet the 2 owners of this RE machine> Kevin and Armin(correct me if I'm spelling wrong your name, sorry...). I totally admire their spirit of drove the long way from Segambut area to here for service their car. *Thumb up*
Additional, I can't really see the full model number of the recon alternator since already installed into my car. What I can get from there is "23100 0V???". I've read some Skyline forum before, as long as "23100" at front, it suit to all Skyline... Is it real? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, since this alternator can fit to the pulley thus I assume this to be done. Paid and drove my Hippo back~
After arrived home, I tried to off/on my engine few time to see how its response? There are 2 or 3 times need 2 or 3 crank to spark the engine up. I call Adil again and he said is normal. Maybe I'm over worry hence I plan to leave my car there for 1 more day in order to make sure all is running good.
Two FD3S was there for service. White(Armin) and Dark Green(Kevin).
My old alternator, I'll take it for rebuild, just in case the current one die again. (touch wood)

Towing Day
Towing truck was arrived my house on Monday(3-5-2010) morning. This was my 1st time experience how a car being tow. Although this is very amazing scene but I personally not wish to see this happen to me again! After arrived Formula D, Shiva removed the rear battery cover mat, take out the old battery and plug in the new one, this time I'm going for AcDelco battery, its maintenance free and have longer life.
The next section is tougher and its makes me headache! ALTERNATOR!!! I bet all of the Skyliner know how rare is the genuine Nissan Skyline alternator whether in recon or brand new. I've try to looking into other recon Nissan alternator, but its not fit to my Greddy alternator pulley. Adil tried to order me the brand new Nissan Skyline alternator but its not available here, so I leave 2 options: whether is waiting them to find a recon skyline alternator for me OR purchase an aftermarket alternator, from what I knew there are only few company provide aftermarket alternator and is extremely bloody expensive! RH9, HRD and Zeigen.... all this are around 68000YEN(excluding tax). Our local tax is high like skyline, thus will easily cost within the range of Rm3k to Rm4k....
I was scratching, stunning and feel desperation there for a moment. Adil told me no worry and he will try his best to find a suitable recon alternator for me. Since I can't do anything with this and just forced to leave my car there until get an suitable alternator..... Bye bye Hippo... T_T Since this is my 1st time leave my car at garage so its makes me can't sleep well for whole night.
Hippo is sending back for operation~
