OMG! How awesome was the food... I loved it!!!

And I do have to say a HUGE thankyou to Kat for helping me out. While I started organising this dinner, Kat did so much work for me behind the scenes, checking restaurant availability, booking it.

And a thanks to everyone who turned up, I know I had a good dinner!

Me -> cheers.gif <- Everyone else

I wanted to talk in the events section but it looks like someone's locking down the threads. I was reading fresh comments, then they all disappeared as I went to reply unsure.gif

It was a good meet everyone, and the track day on Saturday was also awesome, and I think I am severely addicted now. So many new faces, if I start shouting out names I'm sure I'll leave someone out. So I'll just thank Eric and Kat for repeatedly boosting my car!!!!

So get this guys: when I didn't take the turn off towards Sydney, and accidentally followed Kat we pulled over and then my car died again just as I was going to turn around pinch.gif Kat, AKA basically working for NRMA now, heads off the source some jumper leads. An Irishman pulls over and he starts looking over the engine bay. I ask him if he's got cables, but he doesn't. Now, the bracket for the negative terminal is totally stuffed, so I assumed this was the problem, or some electronics inside the car grounding out. This guy freaking wiggles the positive lead and the car jumps back to life! Full battery, ready to start. That little red box on the positive terminal (contains a fuse, I guess?) was loose. FML! I was sitting there for a long time trying to roll start the poor thing. All is well now! Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

/End of novel.

LOL, I've done that before - changed my battery in the car and still had issues, so me and my old man ran a second cable for the negative terminal, and the problem wasn't solved... Turned out the positive terminal was not getting enough contact. >_<:rolleyes:

Damn you and your hot Canadian female friends! :(

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?

      Anything above ~9.5V is acceptable. The higher the better, but it will almost always drop to at least 10.5V, if not lower, even with a new big battery and everything else being good. 9.76 is not a concern. If it goes below 9, you'd be sure that there's a problem with either the battery or the connections.

      Glue the head from a Pez dispenser on it. Goofy, or Winnie the Pooh, so something.
