I still dont recomend it for any car , i have a smaller one that i use on my jetski and it will start a car no worries . Its 2 years old now and still works very well on the ski , if it was in car though i would have problems .

Why do you want a very small battery ? space ? if yes move it to the boot of the car , thats another advantage of the sealed battery.

I was told that even sealed batteries are now illegal. VicRoads or RTA wants to see a normal battery with a breather hose going into the boot floor and outside the car. As per stock original R33 battery.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, if anyone can confirm this it'll be good. If sealed are a no no with RTA/Vicroads, better be careful if you're trying to go through a RWC process to get a car registered.

PS My battery getting weak and I found a Denso battery replacement (unsealed) with a breather hose just like the stock R33 skyline, through a compliancer in VIC. I got them at trade price. A bit higher than original so you'll need to tilt it sideways to connect the negatives first, then tilt it the other way to fit the positives, then once it's flat you can secure it with the stock bracket.

Who told you that sealed batteries are not legal to have in the boot ?

Sealed batteries have many advantages over normal lead acid batteries and only one disadvantage - price .

An auto electrician near my place... when I was looking for a replacement without luck... As I said in my post if anyone can confirm this info correct or wrong that will be great.

i didnt read much of the replies except the inital posting but would like to know if these batteries are small enough to fit into a small enclosure. I have a tight engine bay and want a powerful battery but quite small.

hey Jerry....

side note that I added a circuit breaker to the system on the install! but out smarted my self by only having 100amp switch!

so to anyone doing this, I bought all the gear from JAYCAR and now would recommend the 150amp switch (I will be getting that one now!!!)

4 guage wire and a mounting kit from supercheap!

GREAT BATTERY!!!!

oh and I love my GT-SS's

as jeremy clarkson would say....."ohhhh my!!!!!...... my dear!"

Any of these left?

Whats the exact dimensions of the battery??

No left but i can get them for $140 each as long as i have 5 orders .

go to post 17 in this thread for the dimentions and on earlier post you will find a pic .

Great 1.2 bar @3800 rpm in high gears , i'm going to wsid on the 29th .

1.6 bar on an old stock engine ? are you crazy ? I'm happy with 1.2 bar for mine .

What type of clutch are you going for ?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
