hey, i was wonderin if anyone knew how theelectrical system works in the r33, i just took delivery of a 4 dr version and when i picked it up from the freight company(live in darwin, purch car in sydney) the batt was flat and they had to jumpstart it by hooking the cables onto a larger post under a cover at the front left of the engine bay, and hooked the neg onto a piece of metal on the strut tower. whats the go, is it the same system as some of the porsches use (diode) or wha?

the battery is in the boot. there wasnt enough room in the engine bay for the battery to be placed there so its in the boot, under the parcel shelf. not sure if this is the same for the 4door version, but thats how it is on the coupe model.

its probably just gone flat from sitting on the jap docks / aus docks and on the ship without being started. when i brought my car i had a key tag and paper ring thing with "flat battery - ECR" so no big dramas, should all be fine :D

Remove the front trim panel in the boot and there it is on the left under the parcel shelf (I have 2 coupes). The std batt is tiny and needs regular replacement with a sealed and vented via hose model to remain legal.

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
