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.

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 .

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
