hmm, I might have to visit autobahn tomorrow then =\

Hey guess what? Mark is the new store manager of Autobarn Noarlunga. He starts in just over a month.

isssssueeeeeeeeeees.

31 seems to be draining batteries, anyone have any idea what might be drawing from the battery when the car is off?

Could it be the alternator?

[kralster]

Is the battery holding charge as the engine is running?

[Damo_R34]

my aftermarket volt meter is in the green so i think so.

[AXTX]

Go to a place that offer a freee battery test, they normally test if its the alternator because it wont keep charge (drops below 11volts when reved at 2000rpm)

smile and drive away

any1 know of a place that does battery tests on Saturdays out North? hard to get car shit done when you work 8:30 to 5, mon to fri.

hey Krishy. how was the cognac mate ? fin it all ?

It was like the nectar of Gods mate....PM sent

I just made the hottest fkn lamb curry and for the first time ever struggled to even consume it!!! Great excuse to cool it all down with beer

Nothing is every too hot for me...also beer doesnt help it will intensify the heat lol

pritty sure there is a guide on the site??

also i thought that the 040 is not a direct fit replacment?? but maybe thats just for gtr's

The Bosch 040 that i use in my car went in without problems....but i can assure you that it does have pickup problem once it goes below 1/4 tank.....tried it once to test it out....and on a hot day the car just cut out.....still had 1/4 of fuel in there chucked in 5 litres it was fine enough to get to the servo....never doing it again lol

Hence why i am thinking of getting NISMO GTR replacement one....similar to the OEM one

[Krishy]

oh damo battery world i think do free testing....they are located up on grand junction road modbury....near ttp

Damo, you can check your battery/alternator with a multimeter if you have one.

[CRoNic...]

I have to scroll down quicker and quicker while at work in this Wasteland ahaha with pictures like that in here! Fuuuuuck!

Dont have:

a) a multimeter

b) the ability to use one

Fair enough, if you need to borrow one let me know and I'll show you how to check battery and alternator

[Damo_R34]

ill probably take you up on that offer Talbo.

While on the topic of electrics ... who's got a timing light I can borrow? I think someone offered the use of one previously, but I never took the offer (been so damn busy!)

Tried fixing my old one, but it just won't work. I bought it 6 or so years ago for $30 ... the same timing light is for sale now for $60!

Also, found the fueling problem with the Stagea. Fitted the stock FPR in last night and its running better.

[R334door(s2)]

Ive got a timing light i could possibly lend ya.! pm-me

damo, just get the RAA out if your a member, they'll test everything for you for free in your drive way!

[Damo_R34]

ahh i am a member, sounds like a plan, thanks Luke!

need to get the 34 retuned as well, Boostin Oz is $150 to see where its at, then they ring and tell you how much it needs and how much it costs. But, they don't work Saturdays, and id have to take time off work to drop off and pick up the car. Also, they are only 10 mins from my house. Southern Hi Tech is $350 for a retune, but they are open Saturdays, so no days off work, but they are down south, about 30-45 mins away. decisions!
