the cover does not pop up, these batteries are fully sealed and can be mounted anywhere in your car, not just in the engine bay, they will not leak and they have no caps.

for more information about the batteries, check out this link http://www.apollobatteries.com.au/newproducts.pdf

Good timing.. i was on the look out for a new battery.

Initially was after a Gel Cell battery.. but this ain't bad @ 550cca.

I'm definately interested, let's get some prices on shipping.

Could someone also tell me which is better between this one and the one in wrxhoon's group buy ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=62252&st=0 )?

this is a CALCIUM sealed battery, it has NO caps.

this battery is not a no name battery, it comes from a tried and tested company and are the type of batteries that would be supplied to you through any good Auto Electrician. it is very high quality and will serve you well.

i tried contacting a courier company for prices however interstate postage will bring the price above retail, so the group buy will be for pick up only from Penrith (SYDNEY).

although it doesnt look like i'll be able to get that many numbers for pick up, so it doesnt look like this group buy is going ahead.

A proper gel battery actually has gel in it.

does this battery have gel? or is it still acid/water, just with a cap that is sealed?

That's what i want to know.

If these are actually gel, or a non water type, i'd be very interested.

by the way, which model fits in the R33 boot?

Hey Andy,

Is this buy going ahead ?

Put me down for a '453'. To suit R33.

Are the terminals on this battery the small size to suit the factory R33 clamps?

Edited by Munkyb0y

there doesnt seem to be enough interest from local members for this group buy to go ahead, and i cannot post interstate due to the huge freight ccosts that i have been quoted, sorry guys but this group buy is cancelled.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
