hey guys, i got defected a couple of weeks ago for my ride hight and boost controller. i went through regency and the guys defected me for a few more things.... now i have fixed everything but my battery. my battery is located in the boot of my car. there is a hose which is ment to conect to the side of the battery and dispose of any gasses the battery produces.... i have spent practicly all my money fixing everything else. so if anyone has any ideas or can lend me there battery for the morning (i am willing to give some money to borrow) i would very much apprecciate it... thanks :down:

oh and just to make things difficult my appointment at regency is 11:20am thursday 26th...

I have a 550cca Sealed Battery i could lend you...its brand new, it is meant to go in my car, but i haven't got round to rewiring my + and - cables in the boot.

Omg... you are a legend!!!!!!! i live at christies beach... does it have the inlet which the hose is ment to connect to....? If so, if i give you $50 would you mind if i borrow it for about 2 hours just to pass regency????

I am at Aldinga, no it doesn't, it isn't needed as it is a sealed battery...as far as i am aware.

EDIT: Why not go to the Lonsdale Checking Station.

i tried to get into the lonsdale but they are full for the next three weeks... my car runs out of rego on friday so if i don't get it passed i'm screwed... i think my battery is a sealed one as well... i will check and get back to you tomorrow... cheers man!!! oh and i'm pritty sure i've seen ur car a fare bit... out the back of cash converters at noarlunga rite??? nice by the way!

Sealed batteries don't require the breather hose

yea thats what i keep hearing and thats what i thought... but the dude at regency said it has to by law.... although he was proberbly just trying to get me for everything....

cheers dude

Yup that's me, how did you know?

I haven't used the battery yet, so it may need a charge, i can drop it off tomorrow or Wednesday so you have time to charge it if need be.

Oh forgot to mention, the battery is a little bit taller then my current one, so my + & - leads don't connect to the battery, so it may not fit your car either.

the fully seal gel batteries like oddysey or optima are legal

"sealed" lead acid are not - these ones are called sealed since they dont require the addition/replacement/topup of fluid

Sealed Lead Acid Batteries


Sealed lead acid batteries are also known as valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, recombinant batteries and often called maintenance-free lead-acid batteries. Examples of VRLA batteries are:



Absorbed glass mat (or AGM) 
Gel cells 


The term term "seal lead acid battery" is misleading: a sealed battery would be a safety hazard due to overpressure risks the battery is overcharged. There is always a safety valve present, hence the name valve-regulated. Even the term "valve regulated" does not really describe this technology. These are really "recombinant" batteries. This means that oxygen evolved at the positive will mostly recombine with the hydrogen ready to evolve on the negative and thus prevent water loss. The valve is only a safety feature in case dangerous amounts of hydrogen are produced.

Well, that's what i have, so i am boned too...i went and bought it because i thought it was legal, as the battery i have atm is the standard maintenance type.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
