Just wondering what you guys normally do when you won't drive you car for a while (and there is no way you can get someone to start it up for a few mins).

Im going overseas for a month soon and just wondering what I should do with the car, while im gone. Is it as simple as disconnecting the battery?

You could disconnect the battery if no one will be around to start it once a while. I got back from overseas a few weeks ago. My battery had gone flat (suspected it was on the way out anyways) because no one tried to start it for about 2 weeks (can't get good help these days :laugh:). I was away for a total of about 5 weeks. Threw the new battery in it started straight away, like I hadn't even left. Didn't idle funny, didn't do anything wrong.

Fixxxer :D

Yeah disconnect the battery before you leave. Running it flat seriously reduces the life of a battery thanks to sulfation. Retuning the stereo is a small inconvenience compared to forking out for a new battery. Besides this, nothing else you really need to do!

Gaah! Winter has come over here and i wont be driving mine for the next 5 months!!

Atleast i have alot of time in the garage! Got some plans and now ive got the time, now theres only one thing missing... money :P

    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
