Hey Guys,

I have sold my car to HeathGTST and we are in the process of getting a roadworthy done. Everything on the car has been checked off except for the Battery.

The battery I need has to be a fully sealed and vented battery the same as the standard Nissan item. However there isnt any batterys sold like this in Australia. Vic Roads wont accept just a sealed battery like the one I just bought.

Has anyone got a Standard R33 Battery that is sealed with a venting hose that goes in the hole next to the battery. I need to borrow it for like 1 day and will pay someone to do it.

Or has anyone got any other suggestions of making a sealed box with a hose running out of it?

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know anyone who does roadworthies that are not complete morons?

Call me if you can help, this is URGENT.

0413 942 864

Denton.

Where are you mate? is it the fully sealed with venting pipe that runs down to the little hole next to the battery? does the battery work?

Dont take a guy in need for a ride, i only need the battery for a day.

Give me a call or send me a pm

Vicroads sent out a recent buliten to all roadworthy testers stating that any in cabin battery (in the boot is counted as in cabin since its not behind a firewall) needs to be sealed and vented. so the gas it releases can't be ignighted etc..

Can I ask a stupid question? If a battery is sealed, doesn't it follow that there'll be no gas released and hence no need for venting? :confused:

it must be totaly sealed or the top sealed and vented outside .

something like an oddyssey or optima will be fine but they are very expensive .

a while ago i came across some cheap fully sealed betteries and i put up a post for them . i dont know if these are still available but if anyone is interested let me know and i'll find out . they were only $130 for the big ones ( same as oddysey 1200)

the only batteries with sealed top and vent that i know are small jetski batteries but they are to small for cars .

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
