You can use much smaller batteries(motorbike batteries etc), but they will only last a few cranks.
Price to pay for the weight saving.
Once the car is running, the alternator supplies all power to various pieces, so size of battery once running is non issue.
Filling a battery with water doesn't necessarily help the battery if its on its way out.
Id say the battery is a goner, especially if the car is fine if you jump start it.
lol, i did it on grass with a paver under the jack... I just made sure I stuffed something under the car near where I was working, like a spare wheel in case the jack fails.
Easier then, jack the front up, get oil tray, undo sump plug... dodge the black gold river.
Redo sump plug, fill right amount of oil back in, usually a nice big filler on the engines head- use a funnel or a cut 2L coke bottle.
lol
In my old car I could change oil without ramps, just need a decent oil catch tray, did it on the front lawn
Sounds like the cars got a lot off problems, just run it into the ground and buy another $100 bunky
What sites has this cruise been posted on? Just to get an idea of the crowd.
Any chance on a similar pm mate RE: General Direction?
Cheers.
Was looking for a cruise this w/e
harness adaptor ftw! no where near that price... you could do it yourself for $200 with a generic adaptor & a lil know how.
Money for tune would only be right for drastic setup changes(much larger turbos, cams etc), otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere mate.
You just after the hood you mean? ~$130 new from Nissan, got one for a mate last year.
If you already have the gauges/hood and want to upgrade guages, just get the Nismo replacement one, should only be a 30 minute changeover instead of messing around with individual gauges.
Problems you explained are what I'd expect running an rb25 ecu on an rb20.
The ecu's are virtually interchangeable except for the VVT, but the tune will be vastly different, hence you car running like shit.
Just go get the ecu its supposed to have, as the previous owner most probably had an aftermarket ecu, which he kept and put in the closest thing that worked(or didn't).
