  1. It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
  2. I think I now dislike Century batteries and shall never buy another one. 2.5 years in and the battery on the VW shit box is toast. Barely could start the car, even after I gave it a good zap on the charger overnight. It has been getting weaker and weaker over the past 2 to 3 weeks. Luckily, there's a 36 month warranty period. Brought it back to Supercheap Auto and they swapped it with a new one, the process took 5 minutes. So good! Oh yeah, if you own or have owned a VAG shit box, standard shopping list of errors when you pop in a new battery 🤣 And yes, I incremented the serial number to restart the charge strategy. Apparently the VW forum gods believe there is a timed battery charge strategy that reduces the charge with age so it doesn't speed the battery's deterioration over time. Other than that, Skyline still sucks.
  3. Ran in more boost, ask questions later
  4. Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
  5. There's often an inverse relationship between having no demerit points and actual driving skill. Drivers with stacks of demerit points, sometimes on the edge of losing their licence ironically tend to have better car control when things go sideways. (based purely on broscience and data made up).
  6. it's exactly the same sounds like you have either a faulty tacho OR issues with wiring
  7. Wait till you own a 90s JDM shit box I can too, you often hear / see of kids borrowing their dad (or mum)'s fast car and binning it.
  8. If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
  9. Don't think I even need a super charger to be honest. Moving to a G35-900, would easily go over 500kW and also come on earlier. Bosch Motorsport ABS would be amazing, and weld in proper side intrusion bars. I feel unsafe in the shit box on the street. Way too many numpties where I live, accidents daily.
  10. @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
  11. I love all these features, has saved me running over numerous dogs, humans on phones jay walking and changing lanes into a Ferrari that literally was so low I missed in my side mirrors.
  12. Hell yeah, NEO head ftw! Also you and Brad probably bought all the spare NEO heads lying around and drove the price of them right into the stratosphere lol.
  13. this, hence the comment about shipping the dB meter lol. @Kinkstaah do you have a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL by any chance? lol
  14. Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
  15. Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
  16. haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
  17. I'm more inclined to fit a ZF8HP to the shit box, just because it's nicer to drive and has much more capabilities than a sequential dog box. However, low chance of either, too much effort and money lol
  18. knowing me, I will have a moment & end up doing something stupid, like spend more money on this shit box
  19. Keep us posted with photos too. I'm wondering if the ported NA head is just as effective as the turbo head (when all things are ported equally). Wouldn't mind a spare NEO head.
  20. That turbo doses well, I had one before. Gave more of a bus dose lol... Suuuuuu tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu LOL
