The ever evolving R32 GTR build

[BK]

Same here, Supercharge but Gold series across all our cars for availability, warranty, cost, configuration variations and performance life. If I can't get these then only Century.

Would love to run the Supercharge AGMs in the Nissans but they don't have the pencil posts and varied post positions available like the Gold series.

Looking real nice!

I've moved away from Optima, they aren't of the same quality as they used to be!

I now run a SuperCharge battery (made for Stop/start applications and is an AGM battery - similar to an Optima), not to mention it's an Aussie brand with 3 year warranty.

All the in-laws' cars run their SuperCharge Gold range batteries, cheap and phenomenal warranty.

Cheers Johnny, shall look into it...

I'd like to keep third gear and the bottom end in one piece for at least a few months

So the radiator is back in now, apart from the battery she's done in my hands.

Dropping to the mechanic / tuner on the 23rd...

I bet you're excited!

Also I would recommend using some form of heat shielding OR wrap your dump/downpipe to prevent your O2 harness melting at the track.

when u say o2 are you referring to the wideband? same same...?!?

excuse my dumbness, these are the sides of cars that I fail at...

For the Wideband O2 sensor I just go through the existing egt floor bung and a Haltech O2 sensor wiring extension harness. Don't want to drill more holes in car than necessary.

ye that was my initial thinking...

just so I wrap my head around this, both a narrow band and wide band sensor are essentially both just o2 sensors correct!?!

Yes

Wideband gives you an actual afr / lambda ratio, narrowband just signals whether it's richer or leaner than Lambda 1 / AFR 14.7:1.

Clear as now, cheers Ben

Just delete the OEM narrowband junk, since you now have a modern ECU.

Some battery places should be able to smelt on a new battery post for you
