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

Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

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). -

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.

@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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
knowing me, I will have a moment & end up doing something stupid, like spend more money on this shit box

RB25DET NEO Cylinder Head
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to BOLGE's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
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.
