Due to some people asking, I will have another group buy of these batteries.

I have found some sealed batteries at a very good price, they are simillar to odyssey but don't have the steel case . I put one in my old 33GTR in 2004 , I sold the car some years ago to a guy that I know and the Battery is still going , car has alarm and a tracker in it . I have the same in my 34 GTR and a few others in this forum have them.

I compared the specs of the battery to those of the odyssey 1200 and they appear to be almost identical in every way. Even the dimensions are the same.The only difference is the steel jacket on the odyssey.

They are 20x17x17 cm , it fits it the r33 but you need another bracket , same with the 34 GTR too.

This group buy will be open from now until the 15th of April. The price is $200+ delivery , about $22 registered to Melbourne and Brissy.

Anyone interested let me know via p.m. you don't have to pay up front , you pay when I get them .

bugger just bought one of these (the expensive version) because I hadn't seen you post a GB for a while.

For anyone looking into these, I bought one about 3 years ago for a car and its still going strong.

Can you get any smaller sizes, I want to get one of these into the race car

I LOLed when a customer brought one back saying "the battery shop told me its no good for my car" and they proceeded to sell him an optima for twice the price

they must be shit since 5 of my other customers use these batteries perfectly and have done so for years a couple years now.

stupid battery shops LMAO

Couple of questions please:

1. Mods needed to make it fit into your R34 GTR. Is it just the battery cover? Did you have to extend the battery cables eg., +ve from fuse-box, or change the battery tray, etc? Also, did you have to remove the entire back wall of the boot to install it, or just the strut brace?

2. How many years warranty does it come with, and if something goes wrong, how does warranty work assuming there are no Victorian resellers?

Thanks.

Question as well.

Whats the difference between one of these and a Supercharge Gold? 36 series.

3 year warranty replacement warranty and for some reason, fits perfectly in my 34.

No mods needed to fit on my R34 GTR but I have a M-Spec and they come with the bigger battery . On none M-specs you need a wider top bracket ( 7" instead of your standard 5"), there is another hole there to fit the wider bracket, cables should reach, your battery tray will be 5" so if you want to replace it you need a 7" but its a sealed battery, most people don't use the tray.

To replace the battery in the 34 R you need to remove the steel backing and undo one side of the strut brace.

They have a one year replacement warranty but you have to send it back to me, never had any back so far .

Owgasm,

They are different, as far as I know they ( supercharge gold) are calcium positive plates and a mixture of calcium and lkead negative plates, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not aware of the specs on the 36 series mate . I don't know what kind of 34 you have but if they fit on standard 34 R's they must be smaller than these ( 5" same as the stock battery) . Some normal 34 R's have the bigger battery as an option ( winter option) All UK spec cars have it as well.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
