if you place your hand over the screen to block out from windscreen forward it is a 2008 skyline

I still think you need to earth. you say there is no current from radiator but there possibly is, although the radiator is in rubber there is still possibly a measurable slight connection to earth from oils or contaminants on the mounts or bolts. apparently its possible even through the hoses if they are old and dirty inside it can't hurt to test after earthing the radiator anyway. earths are measured in ohms, not every earth will have the same reading due to differing connections, its a bit like jumper leads not all being equal in there ability to transfer current I don't think you can fully remove the current from the liquid so think your wasting time with all the flushes, having many different metals that the liquid is contacting is going to cause currents, liquid carrys a charge that needs to get back to the battery terminal, there is possibly a slight path through the radiator to earth that your tester isn't picking up, you need to be measuring the ohms from all your earths and radiator and you probably need a megger tester that applies a voltage as its testing not a simple probe tester. earthing the radiator makes it 0 ohms or dead in the circuit earths are a real science even in electrical gear especially audio gear but it shows as noise, BMW usually run earth circuits but there were earth points scattered around my e39 from taillights etc and wires that go brittle inside the boot lid flexi rubber hose can cause all sorts of weird faults in e36 some people in custom cars earth the radiator, the cap and even fit an anode inside that is designed to rust away saving the radiator and is an easily replaceable part, a bit like they do on aluminum boat propellers , you replace the anode not the prop. does seem an odd fault but it doesn't happen that bad to all so it seems a bit more specific to your car, good luck

you need to check and clean all your earth connections throughout the car, a decent earth and the current will pass through the metal and not find its way into the fluid in the first place, they recommend to test with engine off, again wit it running and by switching on accessories one by one looking for voltage spikes. Something like a big stereo amp in the boot not having a good grounding could be letting they stray currents out to find an easier path to the battery which in your case is the liquid which is conductive anything over .3v will destroy a radiator, and some ali radiators come with a ground wire so you could try that

hose clamp was a 5 min job with a piece of broken hacksaw blade, done 3 now annoying but understandable from a factory perspective, was more annoyed at having to cut and solder/heatshrink the new flying leads off the old pump so the connector was correct on the new ebay a pump

the fecking size of it as it passes in the end, like some 8 series beheamoth, ?

Ive seen pipe bent after filling it with sand, as long as it cleans out ok afterwards it should help it from crushing on itself

Karen? ?

I think the whole current trump twitter facebook thing, they will lose their "were not producers argument" and then will be held to the same legalities as print and tv, ie sue able they are so obviously producers, so not before time the only thing I learnt/considered from that doco was that it wasn't so much a conspiracy but more the intentions were good but they opened pandoras box and the AI just overtook them, They never expected a like button to be so powerful at the time. they are constantly scrambling now trying to appease people to keep their business model going

yes nothing new any adult with half a brain didn't already know but I do feel concerned for the young ones that don't know a life before S media, its the drug like habit control over your life that they will not have the experience to combat. AI is only going to get better at catching you

exactly, I thought auto coolers were for those people that tow large weights etc not idling in traffic. a large percentage of the manual cars for sale in Auckland have a clutch shudder from excessive overuse and people slipping them to creep forward. to be sitting stopped on the north shore entry to the harbour bridge moving one car length if your lucky in a manual, how unnecessary if your sitting through two green light changes on a hill, say at the top of queen to get into K road, you can muck around with handbrakes probably behind a bus so nill vision, many possible oh sh*t were not moving, oh hang on were off, no wait, hill starts or you could just sit there in an auto completely relaxed, its a no brainer, traffic is stressful enough without torturing yourself unnecessarily. not that any manual lover would change or admit any of that I'd also like to see these owners manuals that don't recommend leaving an auto in drive, altho you underlined it so maybe its true, can't see the fuel difference between your manual in neutral and said auto either, engine is still running in both cases, oh wait autos have start/stop now, do manuals have that too? and if you flicked your manual into neutral as you suggest and coast, thats an immediate fail of your drivers license test. you don't have control of the vehicle, your argument is questionable

IMHO I was young once and thought it had to be manual, but you grow out of it, practicality in a city, stop start traffic it just makes no sense and its no slight on your mad driving skills to actually own and drive an auto. It doesn't suddenly mean you don't know how to drive a manual. especially I don't think manual diesel makes a lot of sense either, aren't the autos like 8 speed so better matched but the whole point of diesel is torque and lower effortless revs for a weekend toy, sure manual is way more fun, just buy a s2000 or something

yeah I know lockdowns over but Prince's estate released this unseen concert New Years Eve, the first from Paisley Park ever where he lived and later died as part of a big box set thing of SOOT. For those that remember 87 fondly its worth a watch

spilt my coffee, way to drop the mic,, BOOM Gold

local stickman has 91 at $1.59 and 95 at $1.73 both then less 6c off that. convenient with school hols I guess

on paper it looks ok here it you kinda squint a little , if its like the new cars though to see it in person, not so much, too much shiny chrome especially on the bonnet face, i suspect those dots will look too obvious 3d(ish) in real life

have to disagree with that one, its just your insecurity that you check the handle, I love keyless entry, key fob only comes out of pocket when pants are changed and wifes is somewhere in the bottomless pit of a handbag, its so nice to never have to fumble for a key, you can here it lock anyway

recommendations please, has the technology changed?

yeah it does have McDonalds and KFC blooming luxury I tell ya

every time I went up to the big smoke for the day I'd be taking extra fuel cans then. Got caught a little short coming home and had to top up in taupo recently, just put the bare $20 to make the gauge safer because they were pretty OTT as well. poor boaties they would make a killing filling boats

just up the road from you graham in Hastings all the gas here is still about 11c more for 95 than 91which has crept up from the 9c difference it used to be there has been some obvious changes around though Z which are next door to Pakn save used to match price now they don't bother.Havelock North 10km down the road is 20-30 dearer Hastings Pak n Save 95 is 1.86 and you can 6 c off that again, Z is 205 and 60 m away on the same side of the road Napier Pak n Save is 1.77 for 95 and you can get 6 cents off there is also gull but you don't need it when the others are behaving

after fitting an android unit to another car the big issue for me is, car left parked all day and unit overheating, on a summers day I have nothing till aircon cools the unit down enough for it to even boot up and mine is mounted mid dash, so hot as to be burnt fingers screen glass hot. are you saying the dash screen unit is actually the android unit so basically an android tablet with external connectors.? I'd be very concerned with heat affecting it although guess it was built for the purpose as opposed to a custom hack job like mine
