Give me some Ideas of a Quality Battery to put in my 32 GTR that can replace the piece of crap i got in there!!! (Yellow and blue brand one) Century i think it is!!

Like 5th battery in over a Year! Running no sound system! Had the Alternator checked by 5 Mehcanics in over a year and the thing drains like water in a desert!!

Just want on that fits dirrectly in the engine bay! Not in the boot or any other place like that!!

caterpillar batteries are very very good, they cum in different sizes and cca (cold cranking amps) ratings. how often do u start the car? maybe try a deep cycle battery if u dont start the car often.

I got a battery from the wrxhoon group buy, has been fine for the past 5months, even though the car is not driven that often.

It's a chinese brand that is said to possibly be the same manufacturer as optima....

EDIT: the car usually gets started once every week or two and the battery has been fine.

if u afta a good battery get like was sed above a dry cell there great no maintenance and get one with alot of cca. like i got a 660 cca in those cold mornings my car starts first pop and it holds its charge really well

Time to resurrect.

So the battery in my R32 GT-R is dying. I'm trying to buy a direct fit replacement, but none of the local battery companies list an R32 GT-R in the product guides. Does anyone know the specifications required for the R32 GT-R, or can recommend a couple of drop in replacements?

Cheers,

Lucien.

I also have a optima yellow top :D Its to suit a honda civic, 6xxcca

Bestwayis to measure your existing and then check the Optima catalog

and find correct size, then the one with the correct terminal positions :bunny:

:)

Actually any battery will fit as long as the amps match or close to it. We only have Japanese brand batteries here like yokohama and panasonic which are very good. We also have sealed batteries and i'm thinking of getting one when my battery dies. I dun wanna refill the battery every 6months cause it's not easy to access the battery. Goddam 30min job. lol

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
