hey guys, i got defected a couple of weeks ago for my ride hight and boost controller. i went through regency and the guys defected me for a few more things.... now i have fixed everything but my battery. my battery is located in the boot of my car. there is a hose which is ment to conect to the side of the battery and dispose of any gasses the battery produces.... i have spent practicly all my money fixing everything else. so if anyone has any ideas or can lend me there battery for the morning (i am willing to give some money to borrow) i would very much apprecciate it... thanks :down:

oh and just to make things difficult my appointment at regency is 11:20am thursday 26th...

Omg... you are a legend!!!!!!! i live at christies beach... does it have the inlet which the hose is ment to connect to....? If so, if i give you $50 would you mind if i borrow it for about 2 hours just to pass regency????

I am at Aldinga, no it doesn't, it isn't needed as it is a sealed battery...as far as i am aware.

EDIT: Why not go to the Lonsdale Checking Station.

i tried to get into the lonsdale but they are full for the next three weeks... my car runs out of rego on friday so if i don't get it passed i'm screwed... i think my battery is a sealed one as well... i will check and get back to you tomorrow... cheers man!!! oh and i'm pritty sure i've seen ur car a fare bit... out the back of cash converters at noarlunga rite??? nice by the way!

Yup that's me, how did you know?

I haven't used the battery yet, so it may need a charge, i can drop it off tomorrow or Wednesday so you have time to charge it if need be.

Oh forgot to mention, the battery is a little bit taller then my current one, so my + & - leads don't connect to the battery, so it may not fit your car either.

the fully seal gel batteries like oddysey or optima are legal

"sealed" lead acid are not - these ones are called sealed since they dont require the addition/replacement/topup of fluid

http://www.energymatters.com.au/renewable-...adAcidBatteries

Sealed Lead Acid Batteries


Sealed lead acid batteries are also known as valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, recombinant batteries and often called maintenance-free lead-acid batteries. Examples of VRLA batteries are:



Absorbed glass mat (or AGM) 
Gel cells 


The term term "seal lead acid battery" is misleading: a sealed battery would be a safety hazard due to overpressure risks the battery is overcharged. There is always a safety valve present, hence the name valve-regulated. Even the term "valve regulated" does not really describe this technology. These are really "recombinant" batteries. This means that oxygen evolved at the positive will mostly recombine with the hydrogen ready to evolve on the negative and thus prevent water loss. The valve is only a safety feature in case dangerous amounts of hydrogen are produced.

Well, that's what i have, so i am boned too...i went and bought it because i thought it was legal, as the battery i have atm is the standard maintenance type.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
