Got one in mine, much better than the standard battery, lasts longer, more power.. though it is slightly higher than ther std battery, so you will have to make up a custom bracket to hold it down..

plus it is a sealed battery, so you can mount it anyway you want.. i also had to extend the -'ve and +'ve cables to reach..

If you have the money go an Optima Yellow top gell cell battery i think around 400 bucks, has killer crank power AND is deep cycle -you can let it go dead flat over and over and recharge it and it will be fine. ideal for big stereo's. We put one on a v8 and the speed that it cranks compared to a new std battery is unbelievable. Getting one for the line soon.

Ive heard good and bad about odysee batts. Some ppl love em, others say they drop cells real quick and are crap.

I had an Odyssey ES12V800, what a piece of crap! It dropped a cell in less than 6mths.

I spoke with a few Odyssey battery stockists & users, I was shocked to find a number of them had failed within 12mths! To make matters worse the Odyssey rep treated me like an idiot & only OK'd the warranty claim after it was proven (in person) that it had failed due to poor quality construction. I offered the rep to test my car's elec system to show him it wasn't a charging sytem fault that killed the battery too! I got my money back & now run a Yellow Top Optima ($405) - that hasn't missed a beat & starts the car in a flash even after sitting for a few wks :)

I got a big odessey battery. Mainly got it for the stereo as they have alot more charge and ar more consistant. It is sooooooooooo noticeble as soon as oyu install it how quick the car kicks over on start up is incredicble compared to the standard battery. I am very impressed with mine, but price is not too good, i paid around the $400 mark for it.

It's not the starting ability that's in question with these batteries. After all a 5sec 800CCA start pulse would want to do a good job! It's the quality control & longevity that's the issue! 6mths under "normal" useage isn't what I'd class as value for money :P I could accept the fact that I had a one-off bad one but when MANY other people report that same problem (including stockists) then I'd be taking my money elsewhere (as I did). The lack of customer service from Odyssey in OZ is the final nail in the coffin.

Spose if yours farkd up then you copped bad service aswell, it wouldn't have gone down well eh... ah well i am happy with mine so far, its been in the car for about 3-4 months so i guess i'll know soon if it does the same thing, havn't had any problems yet, but i would have a liked to get an Optima battery but couldn't get one when i needed it. Ah well.

Nothing wrong with normal batteries peoples, just sometimes, aprticularly with decent sound systems you need a good power source, and that only comes from a decent battery and is the reason i got mine. but i had heaps of problems with my standard battery anyway, would die after a few days of not driving it simply cos the alarm was armed so i had enough and got a newy, but went the better more exspensive battery for stereo cos i needed it.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
