Battery In Boot?

[lococard]

Heya,

Was just wondering if moving the battery to the boot was beneficial at all?

Can you move the battery into the boot and use the space under the bonnet to tidy up the engine bay?

Looking here:

They look like battery terminals? Is that an overflow tank? This just replaces the existing plastic one right?

I have my car battery in the boot. Is that battery for car audio amps(cause it has the 'Kicker' brand on the terminal covers...)? I thought all R33's had the battery in the boot. I am not sure, sorry if I am incorrect.

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Anyone with a 32 that has relocated their battery?

Are 34s in the boot stock?

my battery is in the boot. this = more room in the engine bay. the above pic shows me a radiator overflow and catch can in 1 and a battery. the battery is what the kicker terminals are connected to. nicely made catch can/overflow bottle. putting the battery in the boot of a 32 moves some of the weight backward. some ppl say that this is a benefit.

If you re-locate the battery > the boot,

i) you can arrange for a +ve terminal to remain under the bonnet (with a plastic cap) and

ii) the battery in the boot should be a sealed unit.

My R34 has its battery in the boot as standard; to answer 1 of your other Qs.

dry cell batteries can be mounted straight into the boot. standard batteries need to be vented to the outside.

This is my battery removal effort in the front, under the rubber cover is the connection of the +ve, starter and wireloom, it can be pulled out of the way if I need to jump the car. I ran the +ve cable though the cabin and into the boot where I have a battery box and new earth.
