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. :-/

    • 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.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
