Yikes! A decent 11-plate Century battery shouldn't cost more than $120

You might need to make sure that you get one with the correct terminal-size, as the stock terminal clamps are both of the small size.

Just ask a decent mechanic where to get one. Don't get one from a crummy joint, as the battery has probably been sitting there for yonks. Maybe call Century batteries and ask them where and how much?

Hi Dude

I was quite particular about the battery being a sealed unit as well and wanted to find one as close as to the original one that came with my R33 SII as well. Unfortunately to get one like the original jap one is virtaully impossible and even if I could I was told they cost about 3 time more in price

With this being the case I rang around got the low down on batteries and then spoke to a mob called Battery World and got a top of the range that was a sealed unit identical in size & with the breather hole.

It came to about $130 cash. I got them down in price by paying cash and to make sure that the battery was the same size I brought the original one down to compare.

It's been in the car for about a year and works just like a treat. To boot it came with a 3 year warranty as well

One other thing I found these days they don't refer to plates any more but cold cranking. I can't remeber what my was but at the time it was about the highest you could get.

So I suggest you ring around and get prices and make sure you get the best you can afford without being ripped.

I got a 560cca euro style vented battery for my R33, all I had to do was buy a new hold down clamp. Don't ever use a non-vented battery, aside for the expolsive risk, it will rust your boot out. Saw an R33 GTR with the wrong battery with a big rust streak!!

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
