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

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
