Hey guys. My battery suddenly died so i'm wondering what batteries you guys recommend for me to change to. It's for an R32 GTS-T but surely they're all the same.

I originally bought a Century NS40ZL as recommended off the site but it just doesn't seem to be the right one. Usually the sticker is supposed to be facing the front of the car. When I turn the battery 180 degrees the terminals are on the opposite ends (positive faces fender instead of engine).

Now i've heard of this 'dry cell' type and that it's a lot better in terms of endurance, CCA, reliability, and weight. Who has one and where did you get them from? Looking to do track work sometime soon.

Dimensions for the R32 GTS-T battery: 195mm x 127mm x 220mm. Looks roughly like 2 tissue boxes stacked vertically side by side.

Thanks :)

Yeah not bad. Good for a relocation as well I guess.

Alright found out the problem was not the battery. It was something that is draining it even when the car is full turned off. When driving it feels like it's gonna cut out so i'm thinking it's the alternator that is not recharging the battery enough, but how can a faulty alternator drain power even when everything is off? I've tried a new battery inside and still same problem. Thoughts anyone?

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
