If anyone else wants a battery you have until thursday this week to let me know .

I should have the betteries on friday arvo , you can pick up from saturday on . I will let you know when i have them here .

Jerry, I have a problem with my GTR and this battery. It won't fit as it is too wide (length is fine) for the fabricated alloy battery box. Can you get these batteries in smaller sizes?

Yes they come in smaller sizes , same as oddysey but i don't recomend you get a small one , it defeats the purporse .

What is the width of your tray ? I don't know your setup ( as it is custom ) but in the r 33's the plastic tray is to small as well , as long as you can mount it in the there and clamp it down its fine . I don't see much use of the plastic tray as they are totaly sealed and will never leak .

Its your call though , just let me know if you want any and how many by tomorrow morning , i have down for 3 .

If you have the battery in the boot on your r32 you should use a sealed battery or a semi sealed with a breather hose going under the car ( just like the 33's and 34 gtrs have from factory ) or there is a risk that you have fumes in the car .

If you are a little handy i'm sure you can wotk something out . If you have the 32 with you when you come to pick up i maybe able to help you .

Anyway i should have the batteries tomorrow arvo , i'll you and others know as soon as i get them .

The batteries are here , those of you that asked i will send a p.m. . Anyone else that wants one let me know and if someone dosn't pick up you can have theirs .

If i dont have any left we can do it again at some future time once i have enough people wanting them .

Id like to get one of these batteries to mount in the boot of the GTR... what do I need to buy to relocate it on top of the battery cost?  

wrxhoon you have a PM :(

If you have a 32 you are going to find a place to mount it , some brackets and about 5 metres of cable to run it to the front for +, just use a small piece from battery terminal to the body for negative .

I replyed to your pm .

postage to melbourn3 would be about $20 .

R33's and r34's that have the battery in the boot dont use a breaker , its your call if you want to use though .

You have to make sure the cable will not be exposed on the car body or get cut on anything sharp .

Ben i have another guy that wants a battery .

Inissane do you want a battery ?

Babia do you want one ?

If you both do thats 4 ,we only need one more .

You say you require a bigger top bracket to fit these in an R33 GTR? Can you supply this bracket or alternatively where would I pick one up?

Also im guessing the factory power and ground connectors just bolt downwards onto these sealed batteries?

My current battery is a aussie spec battery that is too small for the car and simply doesnt last :P

Fellars, I have one of these batteries in my 33. Thanks heaps for that wrxhoon. Just to give you an idea of how it runs.

I've had it in there for about 6 months. Never leaked. Holds charge for a long time without starting the car. I haven't actually tested how long, but i've left it for 2 weeks, and it still started easily.

I've left the headlights on for an hour by accident, and the car still started.

I've listened to the radio for 2-3 hours without any problems.

This battery would have to be the cheapest, and best value battery you can get for that price. If you want name brand, you can fork out 3-400 for an odyssey or an optima. In regards to mounting in the 33, all I needed to buy was a $5 battery bracket from autobarn - I bought the plastic one. works fine. The metal one didn't fit.

The battery terminals are also fine. just take the bolt out from the lead, turn it sideways, and use the bolt that comes with the battery.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
