Been using CTEK chargers for at least 6 years now without any problems EXCEPT when I did exactly what the instructions tell you not to do and plugged the charger into the power supply and then connected it to the battery and killed it dead . Make sure you read the instructions as some models have several charging modes. I have one car with an Optima battery that has been on the maintenance cycle for most of the last 6 years and the battery seems as good as new.
Watched this Talking Tech viddy on www.speedcafe.com today from Kelly/Nissan Racing and was interested to see the ex V8 Supercars Pedders safety car R35 sitting up on the shelf in the workshop like a big wall hanging. Last time I was in that shop Ricks championship winning Como was up there. I believe Nissan pulled the plug on providing the safety car when XXXX became a primary sponsor as they didn't want the brand associated with the dreaded bevvy. Looks like the K boys inherited it and now its an ornament. Interested to hear from anyone with any more facts like do they actually use it for anything
Bought the HKS filter but never fitted it as I put a Cobb cold air on instead so will ship it anywhere in Oz for $70.Bought the number plate infill WITHOUT checking what size plate it fits and as you can see a full size Vic plate is too long .Will fit max length 32cm.Fits the recess perfectly but not my plate. Paid $450 for it and take $250 shipped.
Also have two steering wheels without air bags if your interested in modding your wheel like mine (sorry about poor photo) then you don't have to take the car off the road while you get the work done. Want $450 each shipped in Oz.
You really are a good guy Martin to have on our side.I'm going to send my 09 R35 to you soon for your refresh and gearbox mods/fixes and maybe some other go faster bits.Can you recommend a good transporter as i want to ship it not drive it from Melbourne.
Time to change my trans fluid so looking for any feedback on Dodson or Willal.Was leaning towards the Dodson but some recent NAGTROC posts mentioned jerking and gears sticking.
Any advice appreciated.
