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?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      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.
