Well I did have an interesting afternoon yesterday, on my way to Brisbane I noticed the battery light come on, on cruise at 110 when all of a sudden I get a TM malfunction warning on the dash followed by loss of all power, pulled over on the side of the highway and turned the car off thinking a restart might fix it well it didn't start again after that so I proceeded to call Nissan Road Side Assist, 1.5 hours later my GTR35 is on the back of a truck headed back to Nissan on the Gold Coast got a call to come get the car this morning and sure enough it was a loose battery connector What The???? well it might be worth checking to make sure they are tight!!!! Have to say it did get a bit of attention with its hazard lights on parked on the side of the highway :O

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
