Can anyone recommend me a basic trickle charger to keep my battery intact when car is not being driven, as it struggled to start the car last night after being off for about 2 weeks

apparently or Pals at super cheap have one.

yeah at least it's overtime if anything happens after 5 or over the weekend. Even if I just answer the phone it's about $250

Geeze that's not bad, I like Saturday work. Puts me on $36~ an hour. If I can do I Sunday it's gona be a good pay slip lol

Hook jumper lead a to terminal n and jumper lead b to terminal p. proceed to attach the remaining ends to your testicals.

Car should remain charged for the rest of your life ;)

Their website says that have many, but what's the difference between a $69 one and a $219 one?

Don't really wanna spend over $100 for something i wont use often

On Call, is great. I make double my salary from on call.

It would be annoying though, no beer etc

If I work on the weekend I double my pay compared to if I just did it during the week...

No beer for 7 days at a time but every time the phone rings thats $85 and if I have to even start the car that's $190 minimum.

not bad my ot rate is about $155 an hour but it doesn't really happen all that often. Wet get paid some pissy allowance too but I think it's a around 40 bucks. Not really worth the hassle, you just hope to get a few calls that don't result in going out lol

generally, the cheap ones are an outright charger only.

the expensive ones have the trickle charge function.

or, take for good drive.

then, disconnect battery.

stops anything draining.

if you want to stop it completely, will have to find whats draining power.

yeah I disconnect. However I don't have a radio or clock to worry about resetting

Though when I went to Gladstone recently I racked up 34 hours of ot in the week. The tax man came at that pay packet like a spider monkey.

I paid more in tax last year than my wife made, I want a dole bludger as my butler for that shit.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
