hey mate try Battery world in slacks creek near keith 4 wheels .. i had a 600cca sealed battery by optima but dont expect them to be cheap .. around 280-400 depending what series you get ..

Dry cell batteries are not the best choice as a main battery...

They get allot of exposure in car audio scene due to running long time with out charge... However the quick drain factor that a starter motor puts on them can damage the cell...

Id suggest if you are a trying to use your car as a display car with a audio system and no 240v help then dry cell all the ay. But for a road driven car the dry cell is an expense you cannot afford (one day you will crank and nothing will happen)...

Can i get some numbers that i can call to the suggestions from u guys?

Well i actually have 2 choices, to customise a battery box fer my battery in the car or to run a dry cell, because it's in the cockpit that's why....and i need to have it done before track day in june... :

Thanx guys fer all yer help...well ive eventually gotten a Deka etx30L dry battery from Battery World at Chermside and it outputs 365CCA although everyone told me that Deka batteries are under-rated and when tested they easily put out another at least 80-120CCA more than specified. I got the battery fer 180(lowest quote among quite a few battery worlds) and had 101 motorcafe customise the brackets fer me. Donna and her other half at Battery World Chermside were really helpful and friendly and support motorsports as they have a drag bike of their own as well...If anyone wants to get an optima redtop(800-900CCA), comet batteries mentioned in this thread does them pretty cheap at 310. Just sharing some info...

Cheers!

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
