ANDRA 2007/2008 Rule Book

Section 4.8 - Electrical Control

4.8.1 - Batteries

All wet cell batteries must be located outside the driver or passenger compartments and must be securely mounted. Unless otherwise specified in class regulations, any number of batteries may be fitted, provided the combined weight of all batteries does not exceed 68kg (150lbs). A 75mm (3 inch) equilateral triangle, coloured blue, or another contrasting colour where necessary, is required on all vehicles fitted with a wet cell battery or batteries to accurately indicate their location/s. All competition cars quicker than 12.00 (1/4 mile) / 7.70 (1/8 mile) require a battery isolation switch located in the battery location marker. capable of shutting off current flow and operable from the exterior of the vehicle. This is highly recommended for all other vehicles. It is also recommended that sedan vehicles with trunk mounted batteries have a trunk key permanently fitted to the lock. In open cars, where battery spillage over the driver may occur, the battery should be covered and vented to a safe area.

Dude, call ANDRA 08 82715355 and have them send you out a rule book. It has all of this info at your fingertips.

your building a car and don't have a rule book? Better to build the car around the class you intend to race in and refer to the book when you need something clarified. That way you can do it once and do it right. I know a couple of people who built cars and did not have a class to race them in....silly buggers!

the rule continually states wet cell battery, i cant see why you couldnt run a dry cell battery inside the cabin.

I just got a reply from ANDRA saying that dry cell batteries can run in the passenger compartment provided they are adequately secured.

I can see your logic - it's not quite as bad as all that LOL - my friend has a book and i have been using that as well as the net - the reason i asked was someone did mention to me in the past about battery inside - now through doing this we all know that a Dry cell is cool , beauty - thats what i will do then , thanks for your efforts - OH yeh i shall fasten with Blue tack - what ya reckon lol?

Speaking of batteries has anyone had any luck with these pulse batteries as they seem fairly cheap.

    • 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.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
