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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
