Yeah a guy at work said I should call the NRMA to check with a multimeter for me. I managed to get to work with a jump pack (didn't work straight away though, took a few goes) so I'll see how it goes when I try to get home lol

What happened originally is that I used the high beam and the car went into limp mode (yes, warning lights on the dash, like when the coil packs go)... no power at all, even the stereo cut out. Got home, car only JUST started the next day, and then wouldn't start after work but a jump start got it going.

That was last week and it's been fine all week (I haven't touched the high beams, been too scared). Then today..... nothing :(

Thread defs should be a sticky where people can post up their issues and we can all get together to try and help

What do you think shell?

This thread is too long and I skip posts. Just let me know if you want me to have a look :).

Eiji and Zeb, that would be great if you have time.... tomorrow after work, or some time on the weekend?

Happy to sticky the thread if you guys want.... I'm bad with stickies though, I tend to ignore them LOL

Very unlikley to be low comp after you do a hot test, but in saying that my drift car had almost no comp and we only found that out when decklan from garage 7 put a new clutch in, it was so low you could blow on the flywheel and it spin lol.....nah but you could turn the engine over with a finger and the bastard still made 280rwkw. Then to top things off the engine sounded perfect however when I pulled the sump off to have a look in there a whole bearing was in the bottom of the sump.....WTF LOL, still ran great and did some stinky skids.

Whatever suits you best shell. Weekend is probably better because daylight

Yeah true... I have no plans, so any time except morning haha. I might just check if my dad has one first, cos I'm going to try to visit him this arvo.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
