when not driving your car for a lond period start it up every few days and let it run for 5 mins car yards do it

nothing kills a battery quicker than loosing all its charge

Yeah - I just hadn't really thought about it TBH ... It's usually the SSS that doesn't get driven regularly, not the R34 and I normally do kick it over if I hadn't run it regularly. The fun of having two cars! I guess I wasn't expecting to drive the R34 this long. Just been slack doing all the detailing inside and out, taking longer than I expected ... but damn it looks sex :P

The R34 has an optima yellow top, from having them in my cars over the years, they're usually pretty good with getting this empty compared to regular batteries. It should be good by morning.

Starting the car and letting it run for 5 minutes isnt enough to recharge the battery...

Starting the car would actually drain the battery even more. When the car is idling its not producing enough excess voltage to store into the battery to recharge it.

good to hear that you got your car started Jenna.....and be glad its not a dead battery or else more $$ to spend lol

The yellow-top is over 3 years old - If it had pushed it over the edge into 'new battery' territory, I wouldn't have been too upset. The last optima in my SSS only lasted about 3-4 years, though it got drained to nothing a whole lot more ..

.... Hmmmm .. keep looking outside at the weather and thinking of going for a long drive down Clarendon / Meadows way ..

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
