hahaha unlucky Shell.

nice work zebra, we'll make a horse of you yet

if your battery only lasted a year maybe check to see you got the right CCA rating on the battery for your car, unless you have a smaller battery fitted to clear FMIC piping.

And you don't live in Kambah! lol

Soooooo anyway... car started tonight with teh jumper pack :blush: Doesn't explain the grindy noise but obviously the battery's farked so will replace that and see how we go.

And now I will lock this thread so no one can reply and call me a tool for having a 3 page thread about a stupid flat battery :rolleyes:

Well weak battery maybe meant it didn't have enough power to act against the spring when pushing the gear out to meet the flywheel, yet DID have enough to spin the motor without any load on it.

Yeah could hear the pin engaging but not doing anything else.....then tried again and made the good old rattle gun sound of a flattery, then started on the 3rd go.

(this is all with my jump pack hooked up)

So once it got a bit of juice she fired up :)

Where do you recommend, the Battery Factory or somewhere?

I have Pat's battery pack so I can actually drive it someone instead of having to call them again.

Hahaha all very embarrassing Shell.

Glad to hear it started and it's running now :D

im pretty sure they sell GS YUASA branded batteries that have a 3 yr warranty but cos abit more

Went there today... was going to get one of these but they had over-ordered stock of some Optimas that were $200 and so they gave it to me at the same price that the GS YUASA was ($165).

Sooo happy to have my car back working again!!!

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
