[WantGTR]

So i have the gaurds off the car as im doing my door hinges on the gtr. Im tossing up between whether or not i should move the battery in the boot.

Whats everyones opinion?

Yes move it to the boot, its sick

Or

No, leave it.

Thank you

Move it if you need the space otherwise leave it

[GTR_JOEY]

Only mover mine because i needed space for the catch can

[GTRPSI]

I just moved mine for a catch can with radiator overflow.

I did mine on the weekend for weight saving/ transfer, bigger catch can and hard wiring fuel pump.

Very happy with the results.

interested in pics!

i have a few ideas about going to the boot but want to see what people are using as far as terminals in the engine bay/connectors as such.

I'll try and take some tonight if I remember. I just have to finish the catch can and paint the battery bracket.

Still needs finishing off but you get the gist.

thanks! thats nice.

im assuming yours is still a street car? reason i ask is because the battery isnt in a box. i do prefer the battery mount only as a box can make the install to bulky. If i decide to go put it in the boot i may need to get a different battery as i have a huge one at the moment.

i know exactly which distribution block you used also lol

I have mine in the boot (R32 GTS-T)

I have a dry cell battery in a morosso sealed box in the boot and a jump start point (+) where the battery used to be simply for convenien and a kill switch in the cabin

I'll get some photos tonight if you'd like!

Yeah mate, still a street car. Battery doesn't need to be in a box if it's a dry cell. I had a 15KG+ standard battery in the engine bay and pissed it off for the little 7KG dry cell.

The distribution block was very handy. I picked up most of the stuff from Jaycar.

Keen. Where did you source all your gear?

I'd be interested in a shopping list if you can provide one

I'm looking to prepare my HNR32 shell for 26/30 swap, currently RB20 undergoing a makeover.

@gtr jet .. Nvm, found it all. What did you use the relay for?

Also which bracket is pictured in your photo?

Hey mate, the relay is for the fuel pump as it is now hard wired to the battery.

The bracket holding the battery down is just one I whipped up with some steel bar I had laying around.
