Anyone suggest a good battery for me? I herd Pulse can be good? I am not going to replace this battery. I need dad to call sometime so I can ask him where the battery charger is in the lockup so i can take the battery out and charge it (on that note doesnt charging require a ground? how can you aquire a metal grounding when you charge from one of those Socket chargers off the wall?)

:) Was going to pickup tight arse tuesday fuel to. :yes:

check your light in the boot goes off properly when you shut the boot

that's what drains my battery.

I shut the boot, the light goes off but if i go over a bump, the light comes on again and drains the battery when i leave it a few days.

My battery is almost dead.. then again I haven't started the car for like 3 weeks.. eep!

You can buy awesome battery charger kits that you can just plug and play. I have one for my bike.

Even switches off one the battery is full.

Go to supercheap and get one of those $30 solar panel chargers, they work awesome, and they work under flouro's (in carparks). They have a cigi plug on them but most cars the cigi lighter is disabled when the car is off so you either need to hard wire it or get a cigi female plug with allitators on it. I had battery problems when i went away for long periods, but this fixed it.

Is jumpering an option? It'll save you the waiting time. That's what I do pretty often and the cables I bought from Woolies for $11 I think they were. I also have a trickle charger and it doesn't need a ground. Steve you are right about QT, I get that too.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
