just went to fit the battery in my car....yes at 2am....
looks like the old dead battery wont hold any charges or discharges so quickly, noticed when i got there and panel lights only came up about 20% of the normal brightness
and whoolaa~~car starts smoothly, started just like when i pick up the car from dealer~
much appreciated for all you guys' feedback.
still gonna bring the car just for general check up anyway on tuesday, at least i saved couple hundreds for towing plus the risks for parking the car off street in the middle of no where
-
many thx for the inputs,
just got my self a new battery, Century NS60LS,
hopefully i dont need tow truck on Tuesday

the sound you are hearing is called a machine gunning starter motor. happens when your battery is flat and the jump starter is not good enough. the second point is why do you have a flat battery? you must have an alternator problem causing this.
ps im an auto electrician, not a forum guesser.
you're right!! it does sound like machine gun....
just wonder as for dead battery....does still make panel lights and all other electrical component to work still??
if so I'll definitely go and get new battery now before i call tow truck and get it in for workshop...
my BEST guess to dead battery = i havent replace it yet since i got the car about 4 years ago......

went to nearby suburb for house inspection, battery came flat when leaving from house, and pulled out my jumpstarter and got it working,
20min on the road with no problem,
after we inspect the first house and ready for next one, problem started.....its a v35gt-8
car wont start......
so i pull out jumpstarter again and still wont start, battery seem to be okay even got someone else's car to help me to jump start just in case my jumpstarter is running flat too,
that still wont start,
its making fast clicking noise when i try to start the engine, my first though will be engine starter...
but the guy from other car try to help me with jump start says its timing belt as he had the same issue last month..
worst thing happens at the worst time....its holy weekend and no mechanics until tuesday...
i forgot to run self ECU diag while i was there...
anyone else had the similar issue? or any idea what's the $$$ tag i m look on fixing this?
cheers

does it matter if i can take it for scan straight away as I been overseas for 2 weeks and left battery out during this time,
not sure if that will reset the ECU/TCU codes and i havnt drive the car yet.
or does make it any different if i bring the car for scan on the HOT day too?
-
Hi all,
any recommendation for getting car service/scan in west or close to city of Melbourne?
My 350GT8 doesnt like the hot weather most of the time,
something feels like overheated in the middle of drive, the transmission doesnt shift up and act funny like rev up as much as I smash the paddle then release it quickly even my foot never move. (at this point all panel lights are normal)
so i pull over and turn off engine and restart, the CVT light flashe, but when i try with the engine self diagnose, all i got is 10s of long/short flashes (means 0000)
i had to pull aside on the road, turn off engine and cool it down a bit before it become drivable again.
so far this only happens to hot day (over 35 degrees), i've checked other posts and someone had similar issue with speed sensor.
I want get a proper scan before look into possibility of CVT failure...because its gonna cost me too much to get it done for sure,
Cheers,

hey i've got a 2002 350GT-8 and there is a switch next to the auto shifter that reads "AUTO/SNOW" and if you flip it over to "SNOW" a pretty green light comes on and switches off again when you switch it back to "AUTO"
What is it, does it do anything?
I have only pressed it when not moving just in case my car turns into a super-dooper 4wd weapon hehe.
read the manual but couldn't find it...(import supplement manuals are useless)
let me know if anyone knows how this button works or what it does to the car when pressed
cheers,
Nas
The snow button make the car skip the 1st gear and start accel on 2nd gear~ and stays on RWD....GT8 dont come with 4WD~
hope that would help,

Like another car wash meet?~
Did my car this arvo was quite painful being no wash at all in winter season and arms get too tiny for polish/wax,
could've get someone to do it for me~
-
Ok guy,
Went to pick up car this arvo from the panel beater. (5pm)
when i pick up the car, briefly look at the rear section where i got hit, looks okay, everything looks fine around the car.
friend says he want to test drive it, so my friend help me to drove back the car, and i drive my gf's car back to city.
stuck on Kings Way for a while.(6pm)
then went we arv at the car park, i sit in the car and notice a big arse crack (approx 20cm) on the front windscreen... from the bottom right all the way cross the middle. the impact point its below the bonnet so its definitly not sandblast for sure.
my friend say he didnt notice while driving back city as its kinda dark too...
called up the panel beater straight away, but as its almost 7pm so they closed, left voice message on their answer machine...
i am just conerning becauses i didnt notice the crack when i pick up the car at panel shop, until 2 hrs later....again will call them first thing in the morning about this matter....
how likely i would be getting the windscreen replace from them? and is it easy to source it in Melb?
, cash on pick up will get discount~
