hey guys,

I got a new battery for my r32 gtst today its a Century NS40ZL which is the model it had in the book (although it had same model for all imported skylines) but I got it home and realised terminals were opposite way around but I fixed that problem by turning the battery around other way and leads just reached but the bigger problem was the fact the terminals are TINY! My battery clamps are too big for them (and I just bought new clamps and I dont think there were any smaller ones).

So I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

If any R32 owners have Century batteries I'd like to know what model you have please?

Thanks!

actually....thats the one I have (32 GTR)....the terminals are the wrong way around but they reach ok.

the clamps on the GTR are the small ones...so either gtst is different or yours have been changed at some stage.

But take it back to where you got it you will be able to find another one same size but with big terminals - repco I think have a good range

2 days after i got my 32, the battery ran out in pakenham, on the way to a mates place in essendon. went to autobahn and got a century high performance battery for it.. they gave me the exact model you got dude, terminals were huge.. took it back and the stock battery and they found it...

could have a look for ya if you wanted to?

hey josh, thanks mate but I went down this afternoon and swapped it for one with bigger terminals. hehe its funny that they gave you the one with big terminals when you needed small and I got one with small but I needed big. So stock GTST battery must come with small terminals but mine must've been changed to a big terminal battery somewhere along the line.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
