R33 Battery Conversion

1. Never get a non-sealed battery, for the reason you mentioned (leaking), plus it's illegal (venting gases in boot = bad).

2. You should probably look at a deep cycle battery, something like an Optima / Odyssey battery or equivalent. I use an Optima Yellow Top and I can leave my car for a month and it will start straight away.

3. Or you could check out the group buy below, dunno if it's still on.

Agreed with what 97gtst and Razor have said.

I totally do not understand why anyone would even contemplate putting a non sealed b82rz into a car boot. I personally try and keep my car as imacculate as possible. I'd hate to have acid powder all over the boot eating the paint and my hands and everything else.

Fellars, a mainenance free battery IS NOT a sealed battery.

Do it right the first time, it'll cost more at first, but it'll save you spending more later getting the shelf cleaned and resprayed ($$$$).

I was helping a friend with his car on the weekend. I opened the battery panel, and there was acid all over the place. Someone had just bunged in a century standard battery. There was acid everywhere. I refused to touch it. He didn't seem to care that his car looked like shit. I just don't get it. oh well...
