omg, i thought this was only happening to me, got a 34 gtt, and the battery has carked it (although recently, its been better than before). i was having a power leak for a while. i get home from work at 6pm, and i start the car in the morning at about 8.30am. atm, the charge when i turn the key is about 11.4v, a while back, i would reach like 10, and sometimes under. sometimes, i would just barely start the car. leaving it for a couple days not driven will need a jump start. my prev battery was from nrma, and they replaced it with another one about 2 months ago. the old one was completely funked.

as in what type are they??

bonnet pin - find it and disconnect it.

hey chris

i think they are called ultrasonice or sumthing. pls see attached pics:

ok it's getting worst now. even if i don't arm the car the alarm still goes off randomly. my motion sensors in the car kicks in after a minute without arming so i'm not sure if it's the bonnet or the sensors now

Mine has a similar issue, if I don't drive it for more than 6 days the battery goes flat... it's f**king annoying. Secondary alarm goes off until I get enough charge to disarm it and then jump start. Issue was temporarily resolved when I got a new battery under warranty, but within a month the problem returned.

Had the alternator checked at last service and all checked out ok.

I'm inclined to think it's these shitty supercharge batteries (which I didn't fit to the car)... luckily they have a 36 month warranty.

apparently my previous installer installed the ultrasonic sensors at the spot where rain water will run thru in the car (what at tool!!) - wasn't the bonnet sensor at all.

all it needs is a sensor replacement from autowatch

highly recommend will from alberts myaree who sorted out this problem for me for any alarm jobs.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
