don't think he's willing to travel upto newy but give my mate a call and maybe you can come down sydney way and he'll be able to fit it all up for you

he's got a rb26 180sx so he knows his imports

Thanks for the info pig, much appreciated.. :) and I would do it myself Johnny if I was confident enough.. I'm pretty mechanically minded and do most of my modifications myself, but when it comes to electronics, I'm not so 'confident'.. So I just leave it to the experts.. Lol :P

No that's not normal, you should be able to leave your car unstarted for 3-4 weeks and still not have any trouble depending on what condition your battery is in?

Have you recently had any new devices installed in your car? Amps, cd players, etc etc?

As I said, I'm not too handy when it comes to electronics but sounds like you have a 'slow leak' somewhere so to speak..

naah it is the car, been through a few batteries now and same problem.

went out to someone off heres place in Edgecliff the other day and he went at it with a multimeter, me pulling out each fuse one by one.

found out that one of them (cant read the japanese to identify) is causing it to double in batt drain. its like 4 amps or something. So at least i saved this Pete guy a bit of time, forgot to ring him today, tomo for sure.

ta guys.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
