did a search, but came up empty

what's the size of a standard battery in a C34 S2 Stag?

i'm looking to get my hands on an Optima D34M, which is 10"x7"x 8" (254x175x200), LxWxH

is 200mm going to be too tall, and hence foul on the bonnet? might need a bit more than 200mm, after adding terminals etc.

thanks all :cool:

mine came with a panasonic 220 or 250 cca piece on crap, i drained it in 3mins leaving headlights on!

looked like it would fit in a toddlers motorised car/motorbike that you buy from toys r us.

just poppin out to the garage to take a pic of the beast battery i put in and grab some measurements.

650cca from memory, about the same size you'd put in a 4wd or small truck :(

brb

It's an exide din 66

27.5cm long

17cm wide

18cm tall

i recon you could go:

- 18cm wide...tight fit.

- 28-29 cm long, but it will get close to the radiator, hose, inlet manifold and pickup more engine heat

which would be detrimental to battery life.

This is what i was worried about, but 2.5 years and it's still fine, no leakage/sweating.

- 20cm tall looks like it's ok and wont foul the bonnet. that would include terminal posts. (overall height).

Autobarn staff are normally very helpful and will help with a test fitment, chat to them.

ps. 610cca, as per the pic... and i've left lights on for 2hrs before at work and no sign of drain with this battery.

As above mine came with a useless piece of ""it" Lasted about three weeks.

Got a Supercharge EG, 600 cca, 230 x 160 wide x 185 high excluding terminals. Never missed a beat and run 4 amp cooler all day no worries. Actually apart from a tie rod end it is the only thing I have HAD to replace in 31/2 years.

I would not recomend you put a optima in .

I work for a battery sales company and the optima are way too over priced and they have a warranty but to actualy use it is like pulling teeth.

if you need a battery with high cca out put but still an amp hour rating i would suggest you run a dry power 12v 26ah wich is what i have in my car.

they are lighter and smaller then a optima and still have good cca ( 600 cca @ 5sec) and good Ah ( 26amps @ 20min).

you should be able to get one of these from any battery shop , if they dont have a dry power you can use any SLA ( sealed lead acid) battery that is rated for cycle use and not stand by.

if you want any more info just ask.

how much are the dry power batteries?

the D34M is sealed, deep cycle, 55ah and 750cca

can get one for $270 too, which is quite reasonable considering the RRP of $475

Series II battery went dead the other day so I thought I'd let you reap the rewards of my research..

OE = 80D26R (cold weather spec.) (±260mm X ±172mm X ±225mm incl. posts) listed in no particular order..

Brand | Model | CCA| RC | Price | Origin

Century | NS70X | 545 | 130 | $225 | Australia

Exide | N50ZZMF | 600 | 130 | $??? | Australia?

Bosch | 90D26R | 620 | 140 | $215 | Unknown

Bosch | 110D26R | 680 | 160 | $lots | Unknown

Supercharge | MF80D26R | 670 | 140 | $135 | Philipines

ALCO AtlasBX | 90D26R | 630 | 130 | $150 | Korea

ACDelco | S80D26R | 600 | 130 | $??? | Korea

Enjoy!

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
