Being a Jap car, are these batteries easy to come across?

depends how much you want to spend really

if you want to spend a bit for one to last you longer then get one of those maintenance free batteries deep cycle batteries

or if you just want to spend less then get a normal one

try and get something to match how much CCA you need, mines 550cca which is more than enough i reakon...

coz with the 33 the battery is in the boot behind all the sound gear, i went a quality dry cell battery

cost like 400 bux or something but should see out the life of the car;

Is this the one with no visible cells (no caps)? Because that's what I have already. :down:

Legaly you have to have a sealed battery because it is in the boot which isnt well ventilated. A sealed century DIN53L for about $140 will do the job nicely, but you will have to change your terminals for larger ones which isn't really a big deal.

i need a new battery too my car was struggling to start the other morning, i think its going to die very soon.

$400+ for a dry cell battery f*ck!, thats how much i spent on my headdeck

is it really worth it? how long do they last in comparison to normal batteries? are they better for car audio then normal ones or is there no difference.

      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.

      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.
