    Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range

    On cold start cranks, you can tell the starter motor isn't as "crisp" sounding. Especially cars with stop/start "technology" (not really technology, it's garbage). Test was done at Supercheap Auto, it's part of their warranty claim process. Not often a good definitive test, as the battery may still show a "healthy" voltage - like mine, in the test you can see it's showing 12.41V I've seen this too, when you jump start a car with a completely fried battery, just as bad as when you disconnect the battery terminal on a running car and see the voltage spike LOL

    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.

    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.

    Ran in more boost, ask questions later

    Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up

    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).

    it's exactly the same sounds like you have either a faulty tacho OR issues with wiring

    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.

    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.

    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.
  13. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 😆

    @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?
  15. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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.
  16. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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.
  17. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    this, hence the comment about shipping the dB meter lol. @Kinkstaah do you have a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL by any chance? lol
  18. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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
  19. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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
  20. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    M4 F80 non LCI are going around the $40K mark too!
  21. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    please don't, I don't want to donate $35K to the Nissan Gods
  22. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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
  23. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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
  24. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    knowing me, I will have a moment & end up doing something stupid, like spend more money on this shit box
  25. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    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.
