ing if i well after pulling my battery out for a charge i notices its only 370 CCA battery,

it normally takes 3/4 seconds to start, i am wondering if i need a bigger battery

x0x0x

Is that 3/4's of a second to start or 3 - 4 seconds to start?

I run an 'AllRounder' from Battery World in Fyshwick. Cheaper and has more punch than the typical Yellow Tops. It takes around 1/2 a second to 3/4 of a second to crank the engine over. The CCA on it I think is around 600CCA with a higher AH rating than the yellow tops. AllRounder Battery

cheers mate,

i ment 3 to 4 seconds,

I see the slightly longer start as a good thing. It gives the engine a little extra time to build oil pressure before being under full load... not a biggy for a standard engine, but it all helps.

Whatever Optima Yellowtop is. It's a deep cycle battery, meaning the charge level can drop to pretty darn low levels (ie won't crank at all) and still be recharged to normal :D Might come in handy Alex!

Same goes for the AllRounder I posted about Ben.

I had the Yellow Top in the Subie.. Excellent battery, but not for the price.. I got the AllRounder for half the price and it has a longer deep cycle charge.

(P.S - I just realised I said Battery World, but it is suppose to be "The Battery Factory")

I had a 440cca battery and it took maybe 2 seconds to start the motor, once that battery started to die (Scott - remember us roll starting my car in Kingston on Anzac day ;)) I chucked in a Supercharger brand 660cca battery. The fellow at battery world said it's the same cold cranking amps as you get in a Landcruiser.

One tap of the key and she fires first time every time, it's a good feeling lol :)

I can't even tell what mine is.... It's blue with yellow bits on top. It died one day and the NRMA told me it was f*ked and I really had to get to work so the NRMA dude in the battery van came along and changed it for me.

*shrugs* it works ;)

Yes i do.

Since running a oil cooler, i am paranoid about building pressure, so ignore me. :P

660cca is uber, will do the job fo shiz

yeh but i have that on my Landcruiser just to power accessories and a winch, must be some serious stereo to need as much battery power as that. :D

Mostly hidden. Some nice quality speakers in the rear and front doors with some Xcellent tweaters.

Work done by AudioTech Tuggers.

Put them in the GTS-T and then moved em into the GTR.

holy crap what size subs are they? my 12 doesn't take up anywhere near that much space

Could be the angle of the Photo's and the fibreglass sub enclosures. I cant fit much in the boot :P

2 x 12.5" Bostons = Heaps of DOOF DOOF (bass).

I dont turn it up till on the open road or at SAU Christmas party's at the Cotter. Sometimes it annoys me to hear it from cars round populated areas like the malls or local shops (fully sic mate!). I just think what a wank. A nice Skyline will get noticed anyway.

Most of the sound is restricted to the inside due to soundproofing from firewall to boot.

i went with a big 600cca cheap bosch and it works great

but 1100cca? thats nuts. what do you need that for? starting on a cold morning while doing a bit of arc welding at the same time?

hehehe I don't do things by halves :P

Errr - 2 Battery's. 1 to crank and the other to keep the stereo cranked.

I used to do that, to set it up right (and legally) there's a lot of shit involved.

Ooooh nice...

This is why I need the power :( and you can see that even though they call them a 'twelve inch sub' they obviously don't fit in a 12 inch hole :)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
