Hi guys,

Battery died today so need to get a new one. Called a few places and they said i need to get a sealed one being in the boot and all but cheapest i got qouted was $280(which is ridiculous for a battery i thought).

I have being looking at a Century battery so does anyone know a good place i can get one in Perth(not too far out of city)? Need one asap so will be calling first thing in the morning so any help tonight would be great.

cheers

sounds a lil over price but not by much remember you do have an import they are not a standard falcodore battery the terminals are different and for that price your getting the power of a truck battery in a verry small package i think i paid 200ish 2years ago for one step below a gellcell i got it from battery wholesalers (formerly battery world) in mandurah

What type of battery did they quote you on?

I got a 500cca yellow top optima from Battery World for $295. And the 2 guys must have been bored towards the end of the day because they even took some time to make a small plate that sat under the battery to make it higher for the cross mount to secure it properly.

A century can be bought from Big W for ~$100 can't it?!

What the hell, are you guys all totally retarded? There is NOTHING special about our batteries, they are just the smaller terminal type.

I paid like $90bux for mine, just went to the local auto parts store to pick one up. It's not rocket science!

Oh, and if you're looking at odyssey batteries, I sure hope you have the TECHNICAL justification to buy one of those, not just "cos they're better"

pm wrxhoon on this forum. he was doing gel cell sealed odyssey copies for $160 delivered. in a skyline you have to have, by law, a battery which is vented to atmosphere, not your boot, or a completely sealed battery which these are. from memory they were 550cca and i've never had a problem with mine, even after leaving the stereo on for hours. excellent trader.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
