Moving battery in R33

Hi All,

Tried searching for this one but couldn't come up with anything!

I'm trying to fit in a 2 cubic foot subwoofer box in the boot, behind all existing finishing panels, etc.

Next to the battery at the moment is a space of almost 1 cubic foot... the rest of the box will be fibreglassed around the right-hand strut tower, etc.

What I want to do is shift the battery holder as far to the left as possible to give me the maximum amount of room to play with. From factory it is bolted in between the ribs in the boot floor, it looks like I can shift it over "one rib" to the left.

Has anyone tried this? Are there any fuel lines, cables, etc behind that floor panelling that I'll have to move before drilling?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Cooks44.

i agree with hippy...

says that it sealed but you can still add distilled water if needed to certain cells....you just have to take a panel off...i assume its sealed seems like it is and thats what is stated by the company...had it for a while no leaks or anything..seems fine.

i fitted an eclipse sub in my 33 it was meant to have a 56 litre or 2 cubic foot enclosure fitted it to the right of the battery and built it out 130 mm towards the boot and across to a custom amp rack that fills in the corner put a bit of dackron in the box and it pumps way better than i thought it would and my mate who is in the car audio field was also shocked......and by the guys this thread did start out as a sub topic not a battery topic if your worried about what battery you want buy a odyssy expensive but can be fitted anywhere

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
