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. :-/

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
