2 weeks... what else is there that's drawing power? you could test the current draw of the alarm / car with everything turned off

Since the battery has been dead before, it might have lessened capacity now... do you have a proper 3+ Stage Mains Plug-In Charger? Alternatively, you could buy one of those little solar panels which tickle charges when the car isn't running to keep it topped up :) Worked great for my dads old boat when we didn't go near it for a few months at a time.

yeah wil do current check when I get it back.

charger is 6 stage I think. will get battery checked this week, it's an odyssey just over a year old and I think it might be stuffed. farkin hope the alternator or start motor isn't killing it.

Anyone here have a spare coolant bottle cap? Mine went missing.... :/

For a temp fix, try a plastic milk bottle cap, they're about the same size... little bit of electrical tape around the neck if it's a touch too big...

It doesn't hold pressure or anything since there's the overflow port next to it, so its just to stop it from sloshing about into your engine bay while cornering :P

There's two of the chinese places at knox city. I've been to one which isn't bad, it's in the short "Arm" of shops on the lower level, opposite the main food court. They do pants really well, cheap and fast too. And I've had a few dress shirts altered there as well.

Was just going through old pics and found this from back in 2008 or thereabouts. Me and my mate borrowed his older bro's Calais to go for a spin down to St Kilda beach (to try impress ladies, as you do when you're 18 :no: ) and couldn't figure out why the thing was so sluggish. Opened boot to find this:

Not sure if better or worse than cutties :S

LOL. When SSSL's at the rears aren't low enough. :P

if you just need one for the weekend, I imagine the S14 one is same as volvo ones.

borrow mine now I'm out.

Need it back after tho.

Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
