Just wondering how you can get a bigger battery and keep the positive terminal stock. Ive had to totally replace it and modify it as the metal base of most of aftermarket wire and terminal clamps are not bent like the skyline one. Hope you guys know what I mean. I basically want it to look like the pic below with a bigger battery.

Can you get a better picture? I can't see much from the one in your post... Don't have a skyline myself (I drive a Z32) but I change maybe 5000 batteries a year and maybe 1000 terminals for work so might be able to help you out.

I looked up the AC Delco catalogue for a suitable battery within the size and terminal post requirements I was looking for.

There are plenty of other brands available but a Delco was fine for my requirements at the time and cheap.

Looking at the catalogue, I ended up with a S55B24L (page 68 of the catalogue). 430CCA and had the same terminal size and location as the Jap batteries. Cost me $90, and no alteration to the terminals required.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
