Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes. United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

Tomei or Nitto, don't use the OEM one or Cosmetic ☺️

Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range

On cold start cranks, you can tell the starter motor isn't as "crisp" sounding. Especially cars with stop/start "technology" (not really technology, it's garbage). Test was done at Supercheap Auto, it's part of their warranty claim process. Not often a good definitive test, as the battery may still show a "healthy" voltage - like mine, in the test you can see it's showing 12.41V I've seen this too, when you jump start a car with a completely fried battery, just as bad as when you disconnect the battery terminal on a running car and see the voltage spike LOL

It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.

I think I now dislike Century batteries and shall never buy another one. 2.5 years in and the battery on the VW shit box is toast. Barely could start the car, even after I gave it a good zap on the charger overnight. It has been getting weaker and weaker over the past 2 to 3 weeks. Luckily, there's a 36 month warranty period. Brought it back to Supercheap Auto and they swapped it with a new one, the process took 5 minutes. So good! Oh yeah, if you own or have owned a VAG shit box, standard shopping list of errors when you pop in a new battery 🤣 And yes, I incremented the serial number to restart the charge strategy. Apparently the VW forum gods believe there is a timed battery charge strategy that reduces the charge with age so it doesn't speed the battery's deterioration over time. Other than that, Skyline still sucks.

Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up

Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

There's often an inverse relationship between having no demerit points and actual driving skill. Drivers with stacks of demerit points, sometimes on the edge of losing their licence ironically tend to have better car control when things go sideways. (based purely on broscience and data made up). -

Wait till you own a 90s JDM shit box I can too, you often hear / see of kids borrowing their dad (or mum)'s fast car and binning it.
