    I would have said Century. If it's only a month old then it should be fine, unless you have somehow managed to drain it flat too badly too many times already and killed it.

    Why don't you do the current drain test?

    No idea how to to be honest, would you able to elaborate?

    Also wouldn't be able to tell which one would be the power lead to the tracker.

     

    Thanks,

    Not necessarily "normal" behaviour. But there might be nothing "wrong" with the tracker. It's far more likely that your battery is crap and can't tolerate what would otherwise be a completely acceptable current drain.

    Put an ammeter in the power lead to the tracker. Report how much it's using.

    Hey would you be able to recommend a battery that would suit? I have a century battery that is less than a month old that keeps going flat whenever I don't have the trickle charger on it.

    Hey all,

    Recently installed a Viper GPS tracker into my car and it seems that if i turn the alarm on, it will drain my battery within a couple of days.

    If i don't turn on the alar, and just manually lock my doors, the battery doesn't drain as fast.

     

    I have it hooked up to a trickle charger now, but i wanted to know if this is normal behaviour for a tracker?

     

    Thanks,

    Colin

    Yep parked near the fence where the paintball was. 
     

    first time I went to Luddenham and what a cracker of a track!
     

    I really want to go back and see what the car can do. I never got into a rhythm on Saturday, but I absolutely loved the layout!

    i remember your car, looked mint! I really wanted a R32 but they are so rare now

    I thought it was a good layout too, being a stocker, it helped me alot, not much straight :P

    My small group is trying to organise a private day soon, if you are interested, i'm sure there will be space :)

    I was there yesterday too in the R34 coupe that kept breaking down!

     

    i only managed a 54.2, in the first session the cabin filled with smoke, thought it was a burnt plastic pipe, put some high temp tape on, missed the second session, third session only did one lap and the intercooler pipe came loose (forgot to tighten it when I out the car back together) then 4th session only got 3 laps before smoke again. 
     

    have since learnt I was boiling the power steering fluid!!!

    Oh bugger, was that the white one, that was parked near the fence?

     

    I was in the white 32 gtr, bog stock . I only managed a 1.005. Really wanted to crack that 1 min mark. This is the first time i've been to a track and it was amazing! I do get motion sickness but, so i went out every 2nd session.

     

    54.2 sounds like a damn good time! I think the red GTR in my group that was flying did a 52.

    Hey all,


    I've booked a lane for the drags at WSID on Sunday 22nd Feb. This is a weekend event as not everyone can make Wednesday nights.


    Event page is here if interested so I can gauge numbers if interested!




    Hope to see some new faces, I'll be covering the event when not racing.


    More cars the merrier and have some friendly rivalries between the different types of cars :)

    Hey guys,

    Autorush will be running at Sydney Show ground on December 13/14 in just under 2 weeks!

    I have some entrants spots reserved at my Jap-Projects Stand that I possibly won't fill.

    Handing out an invitation out there if anyone wants to show off their car, send me a PM with some info / pics of your car and I'll get back to you.

    Some information on the show can be found here http://autorush.com.au/

    I'll try get my hands on a couple of spectator tickets for some members as well if possible.

    Cost of car entry will be covered by me, so please understand that I want something special!

    Thanks,

    Colin
